Hi, I Am Kelly.
My Lakota name is
Mato Waste Winyan (Good Bear Woman)
I am a proud member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe
Currently based in 📍Minnesota, USA. I am a Native American Theologian who walks with people of all cultures. I dedicate my time exploring with people around the world with the intersections of identity, personal narratives, faith, and healing through an Indigenous lens.

Dr. Ryan Bonfiglio
Dr. Ryan Bonfiglio serves at Emory’s Candler School of Theology as an Assistant Professor in the Practice of Old Testament. He also is the Founding Director of The Candler Foundry, a new initiative that seeks to bridge the gap between the church and the academy by making seminary-level learning accessible and engaging for the broader public. His work through The Candler Foundry offers opportunities for theological exploration outside of Candler’s formal degree programs, including the TheoEd speaker series, in-depth courses led by Candler faculty for churches or communities, and an 8-month online certificate program offering micro credentials in various areas of ministry and leadership. His research and teaching interests include ancient biblical metaphors, the Bible and Poverty, and various topics in Old Testament theology. He is currently working on a book that explores the biblical theology of the Sabbath (Westminster John Knox). His wife, Jamie, is a Presbyterian minister in Atlanta and together they have an 8-year old son, Leo.
Previous speakers have included David Lose, Anthony Bateza, Craig Koester, Katheryn Schifferdecker, Barbara Rossing, Michael Chan, Karoline Lewis, Matt Skinner, Terry Fretheim, Timothy Wengert, Mark Tranvik, Rollie Martinson, Mary Shore, Eric Barreto, Richard Nysse, and Arland Hultgren. Topics have ranged from Tree of Life imagery to church growth, and "living with the embodied God" to apocalyptic literature.
