On this episode, TC Cook invites the remarkable Rosaria Butterfield for a candid and compelling conversation rooted in transformation, faith, and grace. Rosaria's story is as uncommon as it is powerful. She earned her Ph.D. in English Literature from Ohio State University and became a tenured professor of English and Women’s Studies at Syracuse University, where her academic focus centered on critical and queer theory. A feminist and lesbian activist in her late twenties and early thirties, Rosaria advocated for LGBTQ+ equality—even co-authoring her university’s same-sex partnership policy. Everything changed in 1999. What began as critical engagement with Christian thinkers and organizations, including Promise Keepers, led her into a redemptive friendship with a pastor and his wife. Two years later, after reading the Bible intensively, Rosaria experienced what she calls a “train‑wreck” conversion—leaving academia, her identity, and everything she knew behind. Today, she’s a homeowner in North Carolina, married to Reformed Presbyterian pastor Kent Butterfield, and mothering her children through homeschooling. She’s also a prolific author and speaker, known for her incisive theological insight and emphasis on Christian hospitality.
