Faith and Feminism

Amanda Tyler leads Christians Against Christian Nationalism and talks us today about the origins, characteristics, and present problems presented by Christian Nationalism. This one is a must-listen for our present moment.

Khristi Lauren Adams talks to us about her new book "Unbossed" and how Black girls and women are overcoming injustice and leading the way for social change.

Amanda Waldron, faith deconstruction and reconstruction coach and licensed therapist, coaches us on how to deconstruct and reconstruct in a healthy way.

Raised in a conservative Christian family, Christina Dent never thought twice about criminalizing drugs until she met an addicted mother who made her question how our justice system handles addiction. Now she's leading people in conversation in how to best treat people with addiction-- and it's not incarceration.

Rev. Serene Jones, president of Union Theological Seminary, talks to us about some recent anti-gay bills that have been passed in states like Florida and Texas-- and what we can do to fight them.

Erin Watts was being continually sexually harrassed by a coworker at YoungLife and when she brought it to the attention of YoungLife they told her they would take it seriously-- and did the exact opposite. Now she and a group of other women are filing a lawsuit.

Catherine McNeil talks to us about her new book "Fearing Bravely" which is an essential read on why the fear-mongering in the Church many of us grew up with is not only not necessary, it is anti-gospel. This has been one of my favorite reads as of late and I know you will love it to.

In his new book, Christians Against Christianity, best-selling author and religious scholar Obery M. Hendricks Jr. challenges right-wing evangelicals on the terrain of their own religious claims, exposing the falsehoods, contradictions, and misuses of the Bible that are embedded in their rabid homophobia, their poorly veiled racism and demonizing of immigrants and Muslims, and their ungodly alliance with big business against the interests of American workers.

Allyson McKinney-Timm, human rights lawyer, talks to us about the Equal Rights Amendment: a basic amendment to the US Constitution that guarantees women protection. Though advocates have been fighting for it for over a century, it still isn't fully recognized--leaving women vulnerable.

I am always a bit nervous to talk about abortion on the podcast, but I think it's a conversation worth having. If you find talking about abortion triggering, feel free to skip this one. In this podcast, I interview Katey Zeh about her new book "A Complicated Choice: Making Space for Grief and Healing in the Pro-Choice Movement," in which she shares the complicated stories of women who chose to get an abortion.
