Reclaiming My Theology is a podcast and community taking our theology back from ideas and systems that oppress. My name is Brandi Miller, some of you know me as @brandinico in online spaces. For over a decade, I have been exploring, unlearing, and reimagining my faith outside of systemic oppression and want to bring you along with me! Each season of the podcast will be a deep dive into a form of systemic oppression and ask how the values of oppressive ideas shape our hearts, minds, politics, and lived experiences. There are so many things to reclaim our theology from: white supremacy, patriarchy and misogyny, capitalism, homophobia, ableism and more. As we launch our first season, we will be reclaiming our theology from white supremacy. Each episode, I will talk to a guest about how the attributes of oppressive ideologies have infiltrated how we see ourselves, each other, and God. We will learn from marginalized communities who practice a different way, and seek to create a more just faith experience together.

Customer Reviews
Disgust Psychology
I don’t know how I have never heard “disgust psychology” before. This interview has been eye opening and has put into words so many of my feelings.
Recent episode with Marty
I expected more from his answers… disappointing to listen to.
Truly life-altering podcast
This podcast has challenged me and taught me so much. I’m in the middle of deconstructing, and Brandi’s work has been monumental for me as I shift and completely re-write so many of the perspectives I was raised with. Thank you for speaking the truth boldly - your words and work are a balm and a call to be something better for this world weary soul. Thank you for giving me hope - and thank y so much for your work.
