Sie erzählt im Podcast von ihrem ersten schicken Outfit einem schwarzen Turnanzug, sie erzählt von Alicia Silverstone und Kate Moss und natürlich von Madonna. Sie erzählt aber auch von einem Klima in der Theologie und der Kirche, welches schicke Kleidung als Eskapismus zur Seite tut. Wo vor allem Männer dann Frauen sagen, wie sie aufzutreten haben.

2022-05-1640 minGrace in CommonHow to be a modern ChristianNeo-Calvinism is well-known for its combination of orthodoxy and modernity. It is neither a nostalgic return to the Calvinism of 16th century Geneva, nor a principled rejection of older Christian tradition. Instead, it is something different. In this episode we discuss the neo aspect of neo-Calvinism: its relationship to the modern world. Join us for a conversation on why we are all implicated in the complex negotiation that is modernity, and on how to embody the Christian faith in that setting.Â

CCO PodcastFashioning Faith: How Fashion Shapes Our Everyday Lives | Robert CovoloFashion might seem superficial, but is it? This session offers an eye-opening discussion on how fashion touches every aspect of our lives—from politics, art, and identity, to what it means to be human. Taking as its starting point things that make up our everyday lives—what we wear, a trip to the mall, the latest style—our discussion will explore how these mundane practices are attached to a myriad of deeper assumptions in our late modern world. How does the Apostle Paul’s call for Christians to “put on Jesus Christ” challenge, subvert, and redirect these modern assumptions?
