Modern Day Flappers

Have you ever had the opportunity to have a long and deep conversation with someone who's book transformed your life?  That happened to me when I interviewed Dr. Marcia Mount Shoop. Unlike the tragic movie The Fault In Our Stars, my experience meeting the woman behind the book was incredible.  I was nervous but her gentle presence helped me relax within minutes.  I continued to learn what it means to live my faith in my body or, in theology words, understand embodiment. Her book gave me poetry and prose to help navigate the issue of sexual violence on college campuses in my...

Things I learned this season: 1 -- I didn’t realize this Modern Day Flapper journey was really about how hard it is sometimes to be a woman pastor. 2 – I have the most amazing friends. 3 – Men have stories of how they can’t live up to the traditional scripts too. It’s hard for everyone. Season Two of Modern Day Flappers will be released in March of 2015. I am so...

Lis at Ordination


My guest today is Lis Valle we met at Vanderbilt Divinity School because we both love the intersection of visual and performing arts and the ways they help us explore our faith.  She is currently a Ph.D. student at Vanderbilt University in the Homiletics and Liturgics Program. She has more than 30 years of experience in acting, and more than 20 years of experience directing and using theatre as a means for education and transformation. She also has a law degree from University of Puerto Rico.  Lis is an ordained ministry in the Presbyterian Church (USA). She is the mom of Jotam (21) and Kemuel (13).  Is there anything she hasn't done ...

A story about the first time Lis learned about cultural stereotypes. “I learned to bat the ball and run home to turn the rice.”

Dr. Ana Ines Braulio

Doña Barbara a novel by Rómulo Gallegos first published in 1929 and translated in 2012  http://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/D/bo12611628.html

Lis explains how her mother’s story impacts her own story.  How does your mom effect your story?

Lis navigates her call to preach and teach while also being a woman.  What do you do “like a girl?”

How do you exist as sexy and _____.  Lis is a young, pretty, sexy, woman pastor (I am too!).

“A patriarchal system locks people of every gender and sexual orientation within the social construct.  Everyone within that system is being hurt and so when a particular man doesn’t treat me the way I expect to be treated… I remove myself from that situation knowing that he is as victimized by that situation, but I’m also not going to stay there.” It’s up to me to not let them hurt me

“La esperanza es que se pierde lo ultimo” – Hope is the last thing that you would loose.
