about your hosts
January Jaxon
is your witchy theological auntie. From her work as a bartender and BDSM nightclub DJ to an accidental calling as an itinerant preacher, she’s never fit into anyone’s ideas of what she was supposed to be — least of all her own. Now a certified Wayfinder coach living in the Pacific Northwest, Jaxon combines design thinking with practical somatic tools to reimagine Christian discipleship as an inherently creative act, lifting up the structure of Scripture not as a cage into which we must force ourselves but as a trellis supporting every human’s infinitely unique growth & flourishing.
“January’s faith is largely orthodox in its content — she doesn’t throw out important traditional concepts. But, she comes to those concepts with tools of contemporary outsider culture. It all feels authentic and integral, not like she’s trying to ‘make tradition cool for the kids’ or something. She truly sees the radical heart of Christianity.” —Teresa S.
to us, theology isn’t about
being right — it’s about
being in relationship.
Andrew McRae
is an ESL instructor and sojourner whose curiosity has been orbiting one question for decades: What are people doing when they use language? This stubborn pursuit took him from sacred scripture through the nuance of translation to the trippy tree diagrams of Universal Grammar, but it’s the work of René Girard that finally felt like the beginning of an answer. In addition to Theology Kills, McRae hosts Mimesis at the Movies, a monthly online film discussion organized by Theology & Peace.
“Amazing commentary. Deeply moving for me, and so much the more because it is clearly deeply moving for him.” —Matthew C.
we’re not experts, academics, or institutionally
endorsed. we’re just nerds who love Jesus
and want to help create a world
that lives, loves, & thrives
in his nonviolent Way.
What if your longing isn’t a
problem to fix — but an
invitation to follow?
