Reclaiming divine identity begins with a sentence many people were never allowed to say plainly: I exist before I perform, obey, please, or prove my worth. That sounds simple. It isn't. Patriarchal religion often trains people to treat their bodies, desires, anger, intelligence, and authority as suspicious. ]]></description><link>https://www.coronabarrow.com/post/reclaiming-divine-identity-beyond-patriarchy-through-owning-my-existence</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6ac07e2d1bab6ecf4e30e375</guid><pubDate>Tue, 13 Oct 2026 13:00:19 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/8604bb_826be3ede79d49b18c3039b96f5e6b3d~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Dr. Corona Barrow</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patriarchy and Christian Deconstruction in Owning My Existence]]></title><description><![CDATA[Patriarchy and Christian deconstruction meet at a painful question: what parts of my faith actually reflect God, and what parts mainly protect human power?
