So I just learned that this episode was only possible to listen to on Substack. I’ve remedied that. You can now listen to it on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts! Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for listening!
“Your pain, your trauma is not your fault, but your healing is yours. It's your responsibility. It's yours to pursue. It's yours to receive.”
–The Rev. Lizzie McManus-Dail
It was an absolute delight to interview my friend and colleague, the Rev. Lizzie McManus-Dail, as this month’s Soulful Revolutionary. Lizzie's joy is absolutely contagious, and it emerges authentically from her profound spirituality and firm commitment to justice. I know you’ll relish this rich conversation with a remarkable church-planting priest and author.
Meet the Rev. Lizzie McManus-Dail
The Rev. Lizzie McManus-Dail (she/her) has lived all over the world, with her boots now rooted in Austin, Texas. She’s living her dream as the founding planter of Jubilee Episcopal Church! She is passionate about evangelism for a God who makes each of us for joy, which is why you might see her doing silly dances and talking about church history on Instagram & TikTok with her combined 80k followers, or on her podcast with fellow Episcopal priest Rev. Laura - And Also With You. She’s thrilled to share her debut book, a first-of-its-kind devotional for the disillusioned, the deconstructing, and the disenchanted called: God Didn’t Make Us to Hate Us: 40 Devotions to Liberate Your Faith from Fear and Reconnect with Joy with TarcherPerigree of Penguin Random House, due out in February 2025.
