Are We Keeping God In A Box? | Mandy Humberson & Katie Samuels + Ally Ley

The Verbal Process Podcast

If someone asked you if your faith lives in your head or in your heart, how would you respond? Have you ever thought about who God is to you? Is he a judge in the sky? A genie granting wishes? A pupeteer pulling the strings? Your dad!? We tend to personify what we cannot understand.

Katie and Mandy sit down with guest Ally Ley to get real about deconstruction in the church, the problems with a "house of cards" style faith, and the importance of exploring and understanding who God is to you. They also discuss the sacred feminine traits of God that we often look past. Could he be more than the box we keep him in?

Ally is a graduate of the Chistian Spiritual Formation and Soul Care Masters program at Denver Seminary. As a trained Spiritaul Director who owns her own practice, she is dedicated to creating space for individuals and groups to encounter God in transformative ways. She companions women on the journey of wholeness, specializing in female faith leaders and mothers. She delights in walking with women as they examine everything from perfectionism, to shame, to taking up their space as leaders, to integrating the various parts of themselves and their stories as they are unleashed more fully into the freedom of who God has created them to be.
