  Mar 19, 202652 minS3

  Recorded live at the Compass Gallery, this episode captures the "Becoming Sovereign" event hosted by That’s Church . We dive deep into the theological and practical aspects of sovereignty—defining it not as separation, but as "sacred self-authorship."

Rebecca Young: A guided meditation on the "Sovereign Mormon" and the interconnectedness of God's children. Amy Watkins Jensen: On the "premise of flourishing," using the examples of Oprah and Queen Esther to illustrate obedience to a personal divine call. Maxine Hanks: A deep dive into the theology of agency and the paradox of maintaining a private relationship with God while navigating the social path of belonging. McArthur Krishna: The "How-To" of sovereignty—starting before you're ready, embracing discomfort, and the power of teaching sovereignty to the next generation. Key Quotes: "When individual women flourish, whole communities thrive." — Amy Watkins Jensen "Sovereignty is both the right and the responsibility to use our divine agency to bring forth our divinity." — Maxine Hanks "If you can’t practice sovereignty on your own behalf, you can certainly teach it." — McArthur Krishna

  Feb 23, 20261h 16mS3

  Episode Overview How do you find spiritual independence after 30 years behind the pulpit?

Key Highlights • The Growth Rings: Why your religious past is an essential part of your story, not something to be ashamed of. • The Wheel of Oneness: A visual guide to why the closer we get to the "truth," the more we realize we are all connected. • Challenging the Patriarchy: Why David’s feminist art often triggers the most controversy and why he refuses to stop drawing it. • Life After Church: Navigating the loneliness of leaving and learning that you don't have to be an "open book" to everyone to find real friends.

  S2 E52: Our Saviour's Lutheran Church Congregation

  Feb 6, 20261h 13mS2

  This special Season 2 finale was filmed last summer at Our Savior Lutheran Church and captures something deeply meaningful to us. What began as an invitation from Pastor Reba to talk about faith, interfaith work, and peacebuilding quickly became a full day of connection. After inviting us to speak with the church council, the congregation welcomed us back during a summer BBQ filled with bouncy houses, incredible food, and people of all ages. This was the first time we had ever attempted community-style interviews. We bought microphones, stepped into the unknown, and listened. We spoke with youth, young couples raising small children, longtime members who have seen decades of change, and those who come and go but still feel at home. We talked with Pastor Reba and a member preparing to step into a lay pastor role to assist her. Across every conversation, one theme remained constant: everyone feels welcome here. Whether people arrived as lifelong Lutherans or from entirely different faith backgrounds—or none at all—each person shared how deeply accepted and valued they feel. Two older women, standing close and gently holding each other’s hands, embodied the tenderness and belonging that lives within this community. This episode took time to edit, but it felt like the perfect way to close Season 2. Looking Ahead to Season 3 Season 3 includes conversations with Gerlyn Henry, David Hayward (The Naked Pastor), and many other thoughtful voices we’re excited to share. As a growing nonprofit, we are also seeking a video editor who is interested in donating their time, gaining hands-on experience, and working with an organization focused on interfaith dialogue and peacebuilding. 📧 Interested? Email admin@thatschurch.org Upcoming Event — March 2026 📅 March 7 📍 Compass Gallery Becoming Sovereign Claiming Your Story, Honoring Your Agency, and Building Our Beloved Community Presenters: McArthur Krishna Maxine Hanks Amy Watkins Jensen of Women on the Stand Each year, we host a women-centered event in March and an interfaith-focused event in the fall.
