Sally Douglas - Jesus Sophia (N336)

Nomad Podcast

In this episode, we’re joined by theologian and minister, Sally Douglas. Sally helps us explore the idea of Jesus as Sophia, the embodiment of the female divine. Together, we unpack themes like righteous anger, justice, and the sacredness of all creation. Sally shares how reclaiming Sophia’s presence in the Gospels challenges patriarchal structures, inspires a deeper connection to the divine, and invites us to live with compassion and courage. From contemplative practices to radical hospitality, this conversation opens up new ways of thinking about faith, power, and community.

After the interview, Nomad hosts Tim Nash and Nick Thorley reflect on how being Jesus as the embodiment of the divine feminine might shape their evolving faith.

Interview starts at 17m 57s
