193: Nadia Bolz-Weber: From Fundamentalism to Stand-up Comedy to Ordained Pastor
Manage episode 463381107 series 2687298
“When I left the Christian Fundamentalism of my childhood, I became an activist.”
Christian Fundamentalism is often looked down upon for its dualistic, black-and-white outlook, which is often used for policing behavior. But, Nadia Bolz-Weber explains, these are the same extreme tendencies that she found in secular activism after she left the church.
Later in life, after working as a comedian and entering recovery, Nadia began to untangle the mindset that had taken her from one extreme to the other. Her long journey has since led her to becoming a Lutheran pastor and a three-time bestselling author. In this episode, she tells her story.
