What if we told you that a story from Genesis could shine a light on one of our society's most pervasive and unspoken problems? Join us for a compelling conversation with Kimberly Hernandez as we revisit the story of Dina, the daughter of Jacob and Leah, and find striking parallels to issues of sexual violence and consent in our modern world. Kimberly brings her unique insights to bear, helping us to understand Dina's story in a new and relevant way.
We grapple with the story of Dina's violation by the local prince, Shechem, and his subsequent desire to marry her. We not only examine this encounter but also the cultural and religious implications of it. Kimberly prompts us to question societal norms, power dynamics, and the crucial role of respecting boundaries. We also dive into the concept of true love as expressed in the Bible, contrasting it with lust, and the fine line in between.
Wrapping up, we discuss the power dynamics at play in Dina's story and the effects of violation on victims. In an age of #MeToo, Dina's story resonates deeply and may stir feelings for some listeners. Yet, it's critical to have these conversations, to shed light on dark corners and, in doing so, bring about change. So, join us on this journey as we explore Dina's story and the powerful lessons it holds for us today. Let's create spaces where respect for boundaries and consent is paramount, and sexual violence is no longer the elephant in the room.
