On today's episode, Ashley helps deconstruct toxic cultural rules given to us by society and the church. Instead, she offers up Melody Beattie's rules for healthy living found in her book "Beyond Codependency." Below is her list of rules: 1. It’s okay to feel my feelings and talk about them when it is safe and appropriate, and I want to. 2. I can think, make good decisions, and figure things out. 3. I can have, talk about, and solve my problems. 4. It’s okay for me to be who I am. 5. I can make mistakes, be imperfect, sometimes be weak, sometimes be not so good, sometimes be better, and occasionally be great. 6. It’s okay to be selfish sometimes, put myself first sometimes and say what I want and need. 7. It’s okay to give to others but it’s okay to keep some for myself too. 8. It’s okay for me to take care of me. I can say no and set boundaries. 9. It’s okay to have fun, be silly and sometimes enjoy life. 10. I can make good decisions about who to trust. I can trust myself. I can trust God, even when it looks like I can’t. 11. I can be appropriately vulnerable. I can be direct and honest 12. It’s okay for me to be close to some people. 13. I can grow and change, even if that means rocking a bunch of boats. 14. I can grow at my own pace. 15. I can love and be loved. I can love me because I’m lovable and I’m good enough. Ashley would add two more: It’s okay to stand up for myself. And it’s okay if others don’t agree or support that.

منذ 3 years22:22

What is the best, most-Christ-like way to respond to your child when they come out as gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered? As evangelicals we’ve been taught to believe that love and judgement go hand in hand and to love the sinner but hate the sin. This kind of theology is incredibly dangerous. On today's episode, Ashley walks evangelical parents through the coming out process, unpacking distorted beliefs around sin and gender. She also gives listeners 5 ways to help process the coming out experience that provide parents with a healthy way to learn and grow. This episode is dedicated to the evangelical parent.

In efforts to be free from the beauty shame game, Cleveland had to change her belief system about her body and her blackness. She wrote many affirmations to provide for herself a liberating mindset. We should all affirm Cleveland's life-giving creed: - I am worthy of a Higher Power who loves my Blackness. - I am worthy of a Higher Power who listens to, values and validates my Experiences as a Black woman. - I am worthy of a Higher Power who is fiercely nurturing. - I am worthy of a Higher Power who is engaging and relatable. - I am worthy of a Higher Power who is a giver of joy! - I am worthy of a Higher Power who demands nothing from me, yet freely offers every spiritual treasure to me. - I am worthy of a Higher Power who embraces my emotions no matter how loud they are. - I am worthy of a Higher Power who honors my process no matter how messy it may seem. - I am worthy of a Higher Power who loves all my body sizes. - I am worthy of a Higher Power who rejoices in my imperfections.

34: Part 2 - God is a Black Woman | whitemalegod's Disgust of Human Need 22:08

In today's episode, Ashley continues her series on examining key concepts in Dr. Christena Cleveland's new book "God is a Black Woman." Be sure to purchase a copy of her book and to support Dr. Cleveland work by visiting her website: https://www.christenacleveland.com/ According to Dr. Cleveland, the whitemalegod of the evangelical Church has "adopted toxic masculinity’s idols of knowledge: logic, reason, tradition, certainty, and consensus." But when we see God as a Black Woman, we are invited to reject these idols and to trust our intuition. With God as a Black Woman we are encouraged to be open to the beauty and mystery of life. Instead of asking ourselves, “What can I prove? What is orthodox? What can be substantiated by history or scripture?" We should ask: What nurtures hope in my Black female embodied soul? What gives life to my Black female embodied soul? What heals my Black female embodied soul? What liberates my Black female embodied soul? What helps my Black female embodied soul love itself and others well? Ashley Lynn Hengst is the proud host of the Unlearning Podcast.

33: Part 1 - God is a Black Woman | The Toxic Masculinity of God 33:02

منذ 3 years33:02

One of the best ways to maintain that healthy understanding of God is to understand God as a Black woman, who, as Christena Cleveland powerfully explains: "declares that all living beings are sacred. She is the God who smashes white patriarchy and empowers us to join in her liberating work. She is the God who has a special love for the most marginalized because she too has known marginalization. She is the God who cherishes our humanity and welcomes our fears, vulnerabilities and imperfections.” What a wonderful, healthy vision of God. In this new series, we will be exploring the womanist theology of Christena Cleveland in her book "God is a Black Woman."
