Faith and Feminism

Aundi Kolber, a dear friend of mine, shares why she wrote "Try Softer" and how we can learn to be soft with ourselves in our own process of healing.

Cheryl Somers and Ashley Easter from the For Such a Time as This as This Rally talk to us about abuse in the Southern Baptist Church and what they are doing to confront it.

We know that the patriarchy has not been kind towards women, but the truth is that it hasn't treated men well either. This week on the podcast, Brenden Kwiatkowski, founder of remasculate and researcher into the scripts adolescent boys have been given talks to us about the scripts boys have been given can lead to violence, and what we can do about it.

Women make up most of the Church, so why aren't we being represented in leadership? This week on the podcast I talk with Devyn Chambers Johnson about her movement called "Four More Women in the Pulpit" and how women can get the church back on track.

Kayla Carnes, a dear friend of mine, guides us in a wonderful Christmas Liturgy for Christmas Eve. You can look forward to more of these in the future :)

We're all aware of the crisis at the border, the question is... what do we do about it... and is this crisis one of our own making? This week on the podcast I talk to Else Droof with the Santa Fe Dreamers Project to gives us the low-down on immigration, and how we can do better.

Kaitlin Curtice, author of Glory Happening, talks to us about her experience growing up and living as a Native American woman, and what we can learn from Indigenous peoples.

I'm so grateful for all that the Woman's Suffrage Movement brought us, namely, the right to vote. But I grieve over the fact that sometimes our rights were gained at the expense of our black sisters. That's a mistake I don't want to make again. Today on the podcast, Ally Henny educates us on how we can be trustworthy white allies. I hope you listen.

In the United States, 1 in 3 women in sexual assaulted. 1 in 6 is raped. I would bet that every woman has been sexually harassed. So how are we responding to this? What systems do we have in place to help survivors? More than that, what are we doing to address this epidemic? On this episode, I interview Diana Ostreich, a former forensic sexual assault nurse on how we can do better as a country.

Nearly 70 million children around the world today cannot get a basic education. More than half are girls. But educating a girl can break cycles of poverty in just one generation. Girls who get an education marry later, have fewer children, earn higher wages and support healthier and more prosperous families. Today on the podcast I talk to Shiloh Karshima, a pastor at a church in Orlando about her experience fighting for girl's education.
