  • Refreshing

    At a time when we have been more divided than ever podcasts like yours offer hope to the women of faith. Your message is that we can still embody our compassion, values and feminism, and that they don’t need to be fractioned. Thank you!

  • You’re Confused

    I am not a fan of Calvinism either, but you have confused him with Martin Luther who would wake his confessor BEFORE he discovered grace. The point you’re trying to make about the body being bad comes from the 2nd century Gnostics. And that’s just the beginning of your confusion.

  • Encouraging and inspiring

    I’ve enjoyed so many episodes of this podcast over the past few years. Some of the interviews have helped me process my own faith journey and find encouragement knowing others have had similar experiences in churches. Other episodes have taught me about experiences and views I’d never considered before. It’s a fantastic podcast.

  • Thank you!

    You are my sanity.

    Also, it’s never okay to beat a woman to the point where she requires hospital emergency room treatment just because she voted differently from her family. Only a perfectly Christ-like man could be safely entrusted with headship over the women in his family, and no man on Earth is perfectly Christ-like. This toxic and all-too-frequently used excuse that provides cover and sanction for abuse needs to go. It should have gone long ago.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The "Mommy Wine" Trap: Deconstructing Cultural Pressures, Alcohol, and Faith with Ericka Andersen
Q: What were the main factors that led you to choose sobriety, and how did that shape your work?
She explains discovering resources like This Naked Mind, the importance of personal history and family dynamics, and how sobriety offered lower anxiety, better sleep, and a clearer sense of purpose.
The "Mommy Wine" Trap: Deconstructing Cultural Pressures, Alcohol, and Faith with Ericka Andersen
Q: So Ericka, can you tell me more about who you are and the work that you do?
Ericka discusses her career as a freelance journalist, her books about women and faith, and her focus on writing that intersects spirituality with feminism.
The Price of the Zip Code: Dr. Angela Simms on the Suburban Tax on Black Excellence
Q: Can you explain how the idea of Black exceptionalism fits into policy and investment in Black communities?
Black exceptionalism often obscures the broader structural inequalities by focusing on the performance of individuals rather than how systemic investments and policies underwrite success for some while disadvantaging others.
Beyond the Burn: Why Deconstruction Isn't the End Goal
Q: How should someone discern whether a faith community is safe, especially when leaving a high-control environment?
Look for red flags in stories the church tells, assess inclusivity and accessibility, and evaluate whether conflict is handled constructively or if patterns of coercion and conformity prevail; prioritize communities that emphasize love and justice.
Beyond the Burn: Why Deconstruction Isn't the End Goal
Q: What practical exercises do you recommend to help people reclaim their faith through embodiment and imagination?
Use body mapping to locate emotions in the body, overlay it with mappings of church words, and reinterpret terms like salvation to highlight liberation and embodied faith as a path forward.
