Welcome to Theology Kills

Season 1

Bad theology kills your soul.
Good theology kills what’s crushing your soul.

Welcome to Theology Kills, a podcast about letting our shame & violence die so that life & love can thrive.

You were never meant to feel like a problem to be fixed. You were made for joy, freedom, peace, belonging, and creativity. But creativity can be hijacked — mis-used to create shame and blame that keep you anxious, lonely, and perpetually overwhelmed.

What if you could quit that toxic cycle?

This season on Theology Kills, we’re looking at Christian scripture through the lens of Maureen Murdock’s Heroine’s Journey. This mythological framework sheds unexpected light on the stories of Eve and Mary, inviting us to consider that creativity, not correct behavior, is how God brings the Kingdom of Heaven to earth. As we follow these women from the fall of humanity to the foot of the Cross, we’ll reclaim discipleship as a creative adventure of trust, integrity, and vulnerability that transforms us into peacemakers, not just peacekeepers.

Each episode includes:

• A theological insight that reads Scripture from a posture of wholeness and divine nonviolence

• A conversation between the hosts where we wrestle with what that looks like in real life

• A simple creative or contemplative practice to help you live it, not just think about it
