Women's voices and stories have been left out of history, but the Easter story - if told correctly - lifts them up. Women, especially Mary Magdalene, play a central role in Jesus' walk from entering Jerusalem on Palm Sunday to the Cross on Friday morning, through the Saturday vigil and in the experience and telling of the resurrection. Writer, teacher, and theologian Chelsea Kim Long takes us into the heart of why and how Mary's story is left out, and why it's so important to bring her voice back to the center of the Easter experience.

About Chelsea
Chelsea Kim Long (she/her) is a writer, creator, meditation teacher, and lay theologian. Entering motherhood catalyzed her deconstruction journey out of the white evangelical faith, and she's currently querying her first book that explores the intersections of faith deconstruction, the political and theological implications of living in a female body, and the impossible demands of modern American motherhood.
Chelsea defines herself as a post-evangelical Christian mystic, drawing inspiration from the wisdom of the Bible and the life and words of Jesus as well as her 10+ years of yoga practice. She started teaching meditation in 2017 after completing a 200-hour yoga teacher training, has taken a year's worth of e-courses through the Center of Action and Contemplation, and has been co-leading her neighborhood faith community since 2019. She lives in San Diego with her husband and 3 kids. Find her most recent work at chelseakimlong.com.
