I am excited to announce the launch of my new Substack newsletter at erikasantiago.substack.com. This platform will serve as an intimate space where I share my research, reflections, and curated insights on cultural Christianity, recent episodes of the No More Silos podcast, and the thought-provoking books that continue to shape my understanding of faith and society.
A Thoughtful Examination of Cultural Christianity
In today’s rapidly evolving cultural landscape, the interplay between faith and everyday life invites us to critically examine the ways in which Christianity is practiced and understood. My Substack will continue my ongoing adventure into cultural Christianity—not merely as a static tradition, but as a living, breathing phenomenon that intersects with history, politics, art, and personal identity. Through detailed analysis and reflective essays, I aim to illuminate the nuances of how cultural norms influence religious practice and, in turn, how faith communities can engage with broader cultural shifts.
Insights from No More Silos
For those who follow the No More Silos podcast, you already know that each episode is designed to challenge conventional thought and invite deeper conversations about the intersections of faith, culture, and society. On my Substack, I will expand upon these discussions, offering behind-the-scenes insights, extended reflections, and additional resources to further explore the themes we encounter in the podcast. This extended dialogue aims to provide listeners and readers alike with a more comprehensive understanding of the ideas that inform our work.
Engaging with Literature: Books That Inspire and Inform
Books are a vital gateway to understanding the multifaceted dimensions of Christianity and its cultural manifestations. Each month, I will share my latest reading recommendations and reflections on the texts that have influenced my thinking. Whether these are seminal works on theology, historical analyses, or contemporary explorations of faith, my goal is to provide a well-rounded perspective that encourages both personal reflection and scholarly inquiry.
Celebrating Women’s History This Month
In keeping with the spirit of thoughtful reflection and celebration, this month I am honoring women’s history—a time to recognize the significant contributions of women throughout history and within the sphere of Christianity. From trailblazing theologians to modern-day voices advocating for inclusivity and reform, the stories of these women are not only inspiring but essential to understanding the evolution of our faith. Through curated content and historical analysis, I invite you to explore these narratives that have helped shape both the past and the present of cultural Christianity.
