Anthropology and Archaeology expert, Missy Snell, brings a fascinating, fresh, zoomed-out perspective to her faith in Christ. As a self-described outsider to Evangelicalism, she shares her compelling journey of faith with unhindered autonomy and humble confidence, while effortlessly throwing around terms like Homo Erectus and Denisovans in a way that'll make you wish she was your freshman-year science teacher.
She invites us into her curiosities in college about Adam and Eve, her growing adoration of the Hebrew poetry in Genesis, and her delight in seeing Christ in everyone and everything.
She also takes us through her grief over the church's response to Bin Laden's death in 2011, her deep sorrow over the colonization of Native Americans done in the name of God, and her hope that more folks would cultivate expanded, inclusive, restorative views of Christ.
If you’ve ever sensed that the Jesus story you were given felt too small or too exclusive, you will absolutely love this episode.
God is bigger, y'all.
