Natalie Wigg-Stevenson: From Transgressive Devotion to Snuggle Puppy

Homebrewed Christianity - A podcast by Dr. Tripp Fuller

Transgressive Devotion is one of the best theology books I have read in years. I was thrilled to connect with Natalie and get her on the podcast. My list of questions was ginormous… then we got on zoom and all sorts of nerdy joy broke loose. We got to about 1/3 of topics, but had so much fun! On top of some zesty theology, we discussed Justin Bieber’s doughnuts, the Chicken Big Mac, Gandalf witnessing techniques, parenting as theologians, Passion Week, and a little sing-a-long. Dr. Natalie Wigg-Stevenson is Associate Professor of Contextual Education and Theology at Emmanuel College, where she directs the MDiv and Contextual Education Programs. Her current research delves into how ethnographic methods could help create theological conversations across church, academy and everyday life. She is also interested in liturgical, feminist and queer theologies, cultural theories of practice, aesthetics, pop culture, and in decolonizing pedagogies. An ordained Baptist minister, Natalie is particularly passionate about preaching and worship, and about adult education in church settings.
