\u00a0<\/p>\n

$\"wearinggod\"$ There are hundreds of metaphors for God, but the church only uses a few familiar images: creator, judge, savior, father. In Wearing God<\/em>, Lauren Winner gathers a number of lesser-known tropes, reflecting on how they work biblically and culturally, and reveals how they can deepen our spiritual lives.<\/p>\n

Exploring the notion of God as clothing, Winner reflects on how we are \u201cclothed with Christ\u201d or how \u201cGod fits us like a garment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

In this \u201cShalom Book Club\u201d episode, Cara and I discuss \u201cWearing God\u201d by Lauren Winner.<\/p>\n

<\/iframe><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\nHave you ever picked up a book and wanted to love it so much but something keeps you from diving in?\u00a0 Yeah\u2026that\u2019s a little how Cara and I felt about \u201cWearing God\u201d we both love Winner and we both wanted to jump right into the book, but we both had a hard time.\u00a0 Cara read it last year so it was a re-read for her, I started is last summer and couldn\u2019t finish it.\u00a0 As we chatted on the podcast, we realized that maybe it wasn\u2019t the book, but the season.\u00a0 We both think Lauren F. Winner is the perfect author to read in the cooler months.\u00a0 So we chat a bit about what happens when you\u2019re struggling with a book and how to reconcile the voracious reader in you with that sense of obligation that you must<\/em> finish a book you start.<\/p>\nWe also share our favorite essays, and how we\u2019re both finding God in the every bit of our lives\u2014 adjusting to gluten-free eating and walking around downtown L.A.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s a really fun conversation and I hope you enjoy it.<\/p>\nDon\u2019t forget to join us later this month when we discuss, \u201cThe Knockoff\u201d<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1101872209\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1101872209&linkCode=as2&tag=shainthecit-20&linkId=f87881311040982a27fdb8d7bc404b82\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">The Knockoff: A Novel<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"https:\/\/\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=shainthecit-20&l=am2&o=1&a=1101872209\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\"><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\nShalom in your Earbuds, Y\u2019all!<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n~Osheta<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00a0 \u00a0 There are hundreds of metaphors for God, but the church only uses a few familiar images: creator, judge, savior, father.
