Description

What happens when the word "salvation" drops out of your vocabulary? In this thoughtful conversation, Will Small is joined by Becca De Souza and Carolyn Meers to explore how our understanding of salvation can evolve beyond formulas and altar calls toward something more communal, justice-oriented, and present. Together they wrestle with questions of what we're being saved from, who's doing the saving, and whether salvation can be meaningful for progressive Christians today.

We explore:

• How our early understandings of salvation were often tied to transactional spirituality and individual "soul-saving" 
• Exploring salvation as solidarity rather than rescue
• "Salvific resources" and our participation in God's work of healing and restoration
• Reimagining salvation as "salvage work" - what can be rescued and repurposed from the shipwrecks of our world
• The connection between personal salvation and collective liberation
