Summary
Some Christian communities are uncomfortable with challenging questions, doubts, and even curiosity. They prefer to keep life and faith in a neatly wrapped package. Jen Hatmaker came from such a community, but growing in her faith required more space to explore. Her spiritual curiosity came at a heavy price. This week the podcast crew talks with Hatmaker about her story, what she's learned, and what it might mean for the future of Christians in our pluralist culture.

| 0:00.0 | Hi everyone, it's Sky. Thanks for tuning in. Just a few things before we start the show. |
| 0:05.3 | Our conversation with Jen Hatmaker in this episode was recorded before the outbreak |
| 0:09.5 | of protest and riots following the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis. For that reason, |
| 0:14.8 | the topic is not addressed in this episode. No doubt we'll talk about it on an upcoming |
| 0:18.8 | show, but until then, we wanted to make you aware of a few resources. First, regarding |
| 0:23.7 | the history of systemic racism, we encourage you to go back and listen to Holypost episode |
| 0:28.5 | 267, where Phil and I discussed the new Jim Crow and the efforts made following the Civil |
| 0:33.9 | War and throughout the 20th century to marginalize communities of color. That show will help |
| 0:39.0 | you understand how we got to this moment in American history. Second, Phil has written |
| 0:44.1 | a provocative piece at Holypost.com called, racial injustice has benefited me a confession. |
| 0:50.9 | For those of you who struggle to understand the idea of white privilege or the impact of |
| 0:55.1 | economic and political policies on people of color, Phil's piece is a must-read. Finally, |

| 1:05.9 | today called, George Floyd left a gospel legacy in Houston. We'll include a link to that |
| 1:11.4 | and Phil's article in the show notes. Of course, if you're looking for a way to get more |

| 1:20.5 | we suggest talking to your church leaders or other ministries working on these issues |
| 1:24.6 | right in your community. Okay, with that, here's episode 407 with Jen Hatmaker. |
| 1:50.5 | Hey there, welcome back to the podcast. This is the Holypost podcast. I'm Phil Visher. |
| 1:54.1 | I am here with Christian Taylor. Christian, you muted yourself. You're muted. You muted. |
| 2:01.4 | Sorry. You know, it's a good thing because I said, hey, Sky. You said, hey, Sky. That was |
| 2:06.6 | beautiful. And Sky, Chitani, Hi, Sky, are you? Good. Hi. Hi. Is your air conditioning working? |
