Toxic theologies have been weaponized to wound, but the gospel was always meant to be medicine. Hosts January Jaxon and Andrew McRae blend René Girard’s mimetic theory with Internal Family Systems to unveil a Christ-centered theology of integrity that heals shame, fosters embodiment, and points us toward a lit-up life of deeply rooted joy. Balancing scriptural insight with personal reflections, Theology Kills is a podcast for healing the bruises left by bad theology and reclaiming the gutsy, grace-filled adventure of creating peace in the midst of a world at war.
