Untangling Faith

By: Tammy Jackson Laura Hutchinson
  • Summary

  • Talking about Christianity can be an overwhelming minefield to step into. It's just so tangled up with all our ideas, opinions, and emotions. You don't want to stay the wrong thing, offend anyone, sound stupid, or be accused of not being faithful enough. This is why many people never talk about religion in mixed company.

    But Rev. Laura Hutchinson and Rev. Tammy Jackson aren't afraid of any of that. They understand that theology is a conversation between people of faith who are just trying to get closer to the truth about who and what God is. And it's in the conversation that things become UNtangled.

  • A Lot of Thoughts about Bishop Budde's Sermon
    Feb 5 2025

    Welcome to another episode of Untangling Faith with Rev. Tammy H. Jackson and Rev. Laura Hutchinson—where faith meets critical thinking. Together, they create a space to ask questions, wrestle with Scripture, and explore alternative perspectives on life and faith. Though serving in two different denominations (and sometimes having very different takes on issues), their conversations are rooted in a shared love for the Gospel, a commitment to justice, and a desire to help others untangle the traditions they've inherited from the truths of Scripture.

    In this episode, you'll experience part 1 of a conversation about the sermon that Bishop Mariann Budde delivered at the National Prayer Gathering last week (January 2025). The Bishop's plea for mercy has sparked both praise and outrage. Together, Laura and Tammy unpack the controversy surrounding her message, process its implications for faith leaders, and reflect on what it means to embody mercy and justice in today’s divided world.

    🌟 Season 2, Episode 2: Let’s Talk (More) About Patriarchy 🌟

    We’re kicking off Season 2 of Untangling Faith with a topic that impacts so many areas of our lives, faith, and leadership: Patriarchy.

    Welcome back to the second part of this two-part conversation. We’re diving deep into:
    🔍 What patriarchy is and how it shows up in the church, our leadership, and our daily lives
    🤔 The ways it shapes how we view ourselves and others
    ✨ How we can challenge and untangle its influence to live into the freedom and equity that reflect God’s heart

    We’re bringing curiosity, personal experiences, and a commitment to truth to the table as we unpack this complex and sometimes uncomfortable topic.

    We invite you to listen with an open heart and join us in asking:
    Is patriarchy ordained by God? Should it be part of Christianity? What steps can I take to embrace a more just and Christ-centered way of living and leading?

    🎙️ Now, you can tune in on YouTube and watch our conversation as well as listen.
