Theology Kills Transistor (https://transistor.fm) https://feeds.transistor.fm/theology-kills Toxic theologies have been weaponized to wound, but the gospel was always meant to be medicine. January Jaxon and Andrew McRae blend Internal Family Systems theory with the mimetic anthropology of René Girard to uncover a Christ-centered theology of integrity that heals shame, fosters embodiment, and creates contagious peace in the midst of a world at war. Balancing scriptural insight with personal reflections and simple everyday practices, each episode explores the ways that violence warps our creativity, our relationships, and our sense of self — and how divine love sets us free. ⓒ January Jaxon, LLC dba Theology Kills 6952e9fc-15ff-5764-b151-716051c7f445 yes a2d7c330-4577-11f1-86ca-b958d2c3e761 Support this podcast on Patreon Andrew McRae January Jaxon Season 1 Trailer — Welcome to Theology Kills en Sat, 02 May 2026 03:35:12 -0700 Sat, 02 May 2026 03:40:00 -0700 https://www.theologykills.com https://img.transistorcdn.com/knhgnHXf1ebTOY0zOZD4wSeWBi5mo-6YK6GtaDJjP3k/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:1400/h:1400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS82ZDBm/NDMyMzFmY2I4OTRm/OTY2Y2M4NjYzNzI5/ZWQ2OS5wbmc.jpg Theology Kills https://www.theologykills.com serial January Jaxon and Andrew McRae Toxic theologies have been weaponized to wound, but the gospel was always meant to be medicine.

Good theology kills what’s crushing your soul.

Welcome to Theology Kills, a podcast about letting our shame & violence die so that life & love can thrive.

You were never meant to feel like a problem to be fixed. You were made for joy, freedom, peace, belonging, and creativity. But creativity can be hijacked — mis-used to create shame and blame that keep you anxious, angry, and perpetually unmoored.

What if you could quit that toxic cycle?

This season on Theology Kills, we’re looking at Christian scripture through the lens of Maureen Murdock’s Heroine’s Journey. This mythological framework sheds unexpected light on the stories of Eve and Mary, inviting us to consider that creativity, not correct behavior, is how God brings the Kingdom of Heaven to earth. As we follow these women from the fall of humanity to the foot of the Cross, we’ll reclaim discipleship as a creative adventure of trust, integrity, and vulnerability that transforms us into peacemakers, not just peacekeepers.

Each episode includes:
— A theological insight that reads Scripture from a posture of wholeness and divine nonviolence
— A conversation between the hosts where we wrestle with what that looks like in real life
— A simple creative or contemplative practice to help you live it, not just think about it

“This is for anyone tired of facile answers to deep questions about relating to ourselves and relating to God. You’ll appreciate how January and Andrew articulate complex ideas with humor and grace. You're going to want to listen more than once! (I did!)” —Rev. Kari Reiten
