Deconstructing Mamas
If you are trying to figure out how to navigate the tricky tightrope of parenting while you have questions, doubts and wonderings about your spiritual journey, this podcast is for you. It doesn't matter if your kids are smalls, middles, or bigs. We will explore what and how we are deconstructing from churchianity, harmful belief systems, and diving deep into the ways we can work this out in parenthood. We will also work through ideas for reconstructing a space for our families to thrive under new systems of love and freedom. We can't wait to bring you some hope that you are not alone and that it's really okay, even good, to explore all the possibilities that may have felt closed off in the past. This podcast will offer you grace and space to be exactly where you are and who you are. We are glad you are here.
Deconstructing Mamas
Allowed to Explore - Lizz Enns Petters
Our episode this week is with our own Lizz Enns Petters, mom of two, author and podcast hostess.
Our conversation is full of laughter, seriousness and our decision to have permission to explore our faith, along with Lizz's latest accomplishment of being published in a new children's Bible called God's Stories as Told by God's Children.
We chat through these questions:
1. You recently contributed to the Bible for Normal People’s publication of a children’s Bible. Why did you want to be a part of that?
2. What makes this particular children’s Bible different than all the others out there?
3. You had a few stories you could have chosen to “re write”. Why did you choose this particular one?
4. What did you want your little readers to really receive about this story?
5. What have been your kids reactions to this Bible?
6. If you could sit with your kids in this current stage of life and tell them one thing they would take with them on their life’s journey, what would it be and why??
As this is our last episode of Season Seven, Esther and Lizz spend time candidly sharing their thoughts on the Bible and deconstructing and giving themselves permission to be right where they are on their spiritual quests.
