Season 2, Episode 34: You're Not a Heretic But You Just Might Be a Saint

That Social Work Lady

That Social Work Lady welcomes both Jasmine Logan and Jada Williams back to the studio for Episode 34.
Both Jasmine Logan and Jada Williams are master level divinity students at Wake Forest University. In Episode 34 they offer me a crash course on womanist theology. The concepts they share about womanist theology are mind-blowing. Especially the idea that womanist theology takes many of the iconic bible stories and views them through the eyes of a Black woman...well that just makes me giddy! #BlackWomenStoriesMatter Logan already made my head spin in Episode 32 when she introduced the idea that much of the American evangelical church adheres to a narrative that is better described as the white supremacist church of America. WHEW!
Jada Williams is in her fourth year of the dual JD/MDiv program at Wake Forest University. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in History from Young Harris College, where she was a Division II NCAA basketball player and heavily involved in other campus organizations and clubs ranging from Greek life to religious life to residence life. Jada is a certified beekeeper, began her own cheesecake business in 2020, and is a volunteer youth basketball coach in her free time.
Co-host for this episode is Jasmine “Jazz” Logan. Jazz is a third-year student at Wake Forest University School of Divinity. Jazz is from Arizona but most recently lived in Los Angeles, California, before attending WFU School of Divinity. Jazz has aspirations of becoming an ordained minister (denomination pending) and has a passion for teaching the next generation that they are beloved.
