Remembering Rachel Held Evans. Ep. 102

Like so many, we were devastated by the news of Rachel Held Evans’s
death last weekend. Rachel’s willingness to write candidly and
prophetically about her faith inspired countless believers and
doubters. The importance of Rachel’s life and work is clear from
the outpouring of grief and love that’s emerged from her death. To
honor her life and legacy, we wanted to re-air our interview with
Rachel from last year. We spoke to Rachel about her book, Inspired:
Slaying Giants, Walking on Water, and Loving the Bible
Again. Rest in peace, Rachel. In Signs of the Times, we
discuss whether or not we like when priests improvise at Mass, the
legacy of L’Arche founder, Jean Vanier and the new editorial
director of the Vatican women’s magazine. Thoughts on this week’s
show? Join the discussions happening with other Jesuitical
listeners (and hosts and producers!) on our Facebook group. This
week’s episode was sponsored by Sunday to Sunday with Fr. Mike
Russo, a new online video series that explores the art, craft and
spirituality of preaching.   Links from the show: Rachel Held
