What is rematriation, and how does it relate to modern Christianity? Anni Ponder — writer, teacher, and unrepentant deep thinker — joins me to explore the return of what she affectionately calls "Mama God."
We discuss Rabbi Mark Sameth's research into the dual-gendered name of God in the Hebrew Torah, the divine feminine Shekhinah, and why churches so rarely speak of a God who is both male and female.
We also dig into Elizabeth Schrader's groundbreaking manuscript research, which found early scribes altering the name "Mary" to "Martha" in the Gospel of John, evidence that Mary Magdalene's original prominence was deliberately diminished.
Anni also shares an unforgettable story from her childhood: being hugged by Jesus at age three, which left her with the deep knowing of being loved that has never left her since (even when her fundamentalist upbringing sometimes tried to tell her otherwise).
This episode is for anyone who has never stopped loving Jesus, but is ready to meet our Divine Mother too. Or vice versa.
A Mystic in Christ — exploring Mystical Christianity, Sophianic theology, and the sacred feminine for the modern mystic.
