The Wise Jezebels

What do you when your church says abuse and mistreatment is okay? And that it’s not only ok, but it’s God’s design. And what if you’ve identified abuse in your relationship but now notice you’ve had the same experience in your church and maybe even what you’ve been taught about God?

Is any faith community safe for women?

Today’s episode explores church-sanctioned domestic abuse and intimate partner violence. We deconstruct that old saying, “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater and find the shades of gray. Popping into Pop Culture covers Naked Attraction and the news about Puff Daddy Combs, and we have lots to say about how to keep your own “fruit” fresh.

Stay fresh, betches!
