Today’s “Classic” is episode 125:
Show notes:
Join Valerie and guest Fiona Givens as together they discuss a true prophetess and mystic, Julian of Norwich.

Father Richard Rohr has often called Julian his "favorite mystic" and Fiona attributes this woman as one of the most personally influential to her in the development of her own whole and holy theology of the divine. If these two recommendations aren't enough for you...then I don't know what to say!

A few highlights of this episode:

**Julian's “showings” really shine a light on God’s inability to be angry with us for our humanness
**Our current struggles with the nature of God in some brings up pain, anxiety, religious scrupulosity, and defection from the church
**Our misunderstandings of the nature of God brings up generational trauma to the extent that we perpetuate a God concept that estranges us from Julian's God of infinite love
**According to Julian's visions, sin is “no thing” in God’s eyes. Our missteps are the education that endears us to God
**As a committed Catholic, Julian too struggles with heavenly visions that did not align with the teachings of her “holy church” and she [as do we] does the work of differentiating her church’s imperfections with her personal revelations, choosing to align with the truth that was revealed to her directly from it’s source
