Hey Friends, Here are the seven last words of Jesus we discuss today. Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. Truly, I say unto you, today you will be with me in paradise. Woman, behold thy son. (Says to disciple) Behold thy mother. My God, My God, why have you forsaken me? I thirst. It is finished. Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit.   Big thank you to OK Factor for use of their song, Uncharted. Go grab it on Bandcamp. https://theokfactor.bandcamp.com It's Gorgeous.

My guest for Shalom Sistas #60 is Marla Taviano. Marla Taviano is the author of From Blushing Bride to Wedded Wife (2006), Is That All He Thinks About? (2007), Changing Your World One Diaper at a Time (2008), Expecting (2009), The Husband’s Guide to Getting Lucky (2011), Once Upon the Internet (2012), The Wife Life(2013), We Dream of Cambodia (2014), An Unschooling Manifesto (2014), The Storm (2015), and Shipwrecked (2017).

Her biggest passions are loving the poor, seeking justice, and building libraries. Which we talk about on the show today.

Marla and I dive right in and start talking about her family’s decision to move Cambodia, how she’s trying to be intentional in not calling herself a “missionary”, but a “neighbor”, why she started an Instagram account called, “White Girl Learning” , where we shares the books she’s reading written by authors of color.

In the second half of the show Marla flips the tables and asks me some of her burning questions like my decision to start using the female pronoun for God (I talk about the theology of it with my friends Tim and Mariann Reardon in episode 59 of the podcast.)

It was such a lovely conversation and I wish I could have talked to Marla for another hour.

And of course, I would love if you would share with your friends.
