Damon Garcia - The God Who Liberates (N247)

<p>In this episode we speak with <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCInlq91_eLitNzzrgfHUFXw">Damon Garcia</a>. Damon talks to us about how he found meaning in the God of liberation theology after questioning his beliefs and leaving the faith he inherited. We explore the importance of embodiment and community in faithful practice and how our context shapes our ideas about God. We talk about reading the Bible from the perspective of the marginalised through the example of the Magnificat and the call to listen to those on the underside of power.</p> <p>Interview starts at 14m 41s</p> <p>Nomad is able to host conversations like these because a group of faithful listeners help us pay the bills.
