Description

This week I’m joined by Dr. Maja Whitaker. Maja is a New Zealand-based theologian, academic, and ordained pastor. She’s currently the Academic Dean and a lecturer in Practical Theology at Laidlaw College in Christchurch, New Zealand. She pastors Equippers Church in Timaru alongside her husband, Dave, and is a mother to four daughters.

Maja’s research interests explore body theology, pastoral theology, spiritual formation, and disability theology. In this conversation we explore a lot of this, chatting through the resurrection and how to think through body ideals, how to think carefully about body difference, and how to let disability teach us.
