Episode 59: Theology and Abuse
Is there a tie between some Christian Theology and abuse? I have started to theorize that this may be the case. That when the church teaches a doctrine that tells women to submit (at times to abuse,) that women’s bodies are dangerous, and tells them that they are not qualified to teach or lead—that this […]
Episode 58: Why we should engage in politics with guests Pantsuit Politics
Politics today is heated, and that seems like an understatement. I don’t know about you, but often the last thing I want to do is talk about politics with those who think differently than me. That could lead to me being misunderstood, disrespected, or simply not listening too, not to mention it’s exhausting. But […]
Episode 57: It’s 2019, why are women still not protected by the US Constitution?
As our theology series wraps up, we are diving headfirst into justice, and the first thing we are going to cover is why in God’s name the United States is one of only 18 countries that doesn’t protect women in the constitution. The Equal Rights Amendment is a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution […]
Episode 56: Theology of Justice

Episode 55: Does God want women to give up their power?
Tara Hannah’s church taught her that God created women emotionally weaker than men, which “rightfully” places them in subservient roles to men.

Episode 52: Does the Bible Entitle Husbands to Sex?
I grew up hearing the idea that, biblically, a husband is entitled to sex. One of the wife’s purposes, after all, is to cater to an insanely high sex-drive—or at least that’s the message I received. All while a woman’s sexual desire was never mentioned. I want to know where Christians got this idea about […]
Episode 50 and 51: What is Biblical Manhood? Parts 1 and 2
We’ve all heard about “Biblical manhood.” There are different iterations of it, but in our culture manhood seems to center around being a tough leader who protects and provides. But is that the kind of masculinity that Jesus demonstrated? And exactly what did God have in mind when he created men? On this episode of […]

Politicians, clergy, and even civil servants are claiming the rule and citing the Bible in order not to be alone with female colleagues, but does this even have a Biblical base?
