Faith and Feminism

Many of us have been in an abusive relationship at one point in our lives or another, but it's often hard to recognize. In today's episode, Wade Mullen, author of "Something's Not Right" talks to us about how abuse functions, how to recognize it, and how to break free of it.

This episode originally aired in November 2018 and states a case for the pro-life movement to be more than simply pro-birth. Destiny, founder of New Wave Feminists, takes us on a journey where she was finally fed up with being used by the Republican Party for her pro-life vote.

In 1923, Alice Paul tried to pass a constitutional amendment that gave women equal rights, she called it the "Equal Rights Amendment". Almost a century later, it still hasn't passed.

Persevere and listen anyway, I promise it is worth it.
