Abigail Harris and Kara Million (two listeners of the Faith and Feminism podcast) realized they were both being treated inappropriately by their pastor, but was it abuse? Was it something worth confronting? After hearing more and more stories like theirs, the two women sought to confront these inappropriate behaviors and found that in their Complementarian setting that women were denied a vote and voice, and that it ultimately primed the ground for abuse.

Bibles, historically and traditionally, have been almost always translated by men-- some men have gone so far to write women out of the Bible (IE Junia to Junias.) What would happen if a woman translated the Bible? How would that change things? On this week's podcast I interview Bonnie Lewis about her First-Ever Idiomatic Bible translation, Timshel.

My dear friend, Tara Teng, an Asian Christian Feminist who has worked for years with women who have been sex-trafficked, talks to us about the fetishization of Asian women, purity culture, unhealthy sexual ethics, and male entitlement that led to the murder of Asian-American women in Atlanta last night. If you, like me, was not knowing how to process the events of last night, this episode is for you. Content Warning: Racism, violence misogyny
