Ep. 46: Weight For It

Mar 06 2025 48 mins

We’re back from our brief hiatus, and this episode? It's a wild ride. We’re diving headfirst into the church’s weird, exhausting obsession with women’s bodies—because apparently, holiness comes with a goal weight. We’ll also be fangirling over our best friend (who has no clue we exist) Beth Allison Barr’s upcoming book, Becoming the Pastor’s Wife, and unpacking how

Ep. 45: A Girl Called Judgment

Feb 20 2025 54 mins

Dinah's story is one of those Old Testament wild rides—tragic, infuriating, and somehow still relevant. We’re unpacking Genesis 34, where Jacob does the absolute least, Dinah’s brothers take justice into their own hands, and a certain man thinks "kidnap and assault" equals "love at first sight." Oh, and we found possibly the weirdest fictional retelling of this story ever wri

Ep. 44: We Love You, Ridiculous Humans

Feb 13 2025 52 mins

This week’s episode is all about love in its many forms. From the messy journey of self-love to loving your neighbor (even when they’re the worst), to the joys and chaos of romance, we’re diving into what it really means to love and be loved. Expect heartfelt moments, plenty of laughs, and maybe a little tough love—because, let’s be real, some of y’all (and us) need to

Ep. 43: God Will Use You Troublemaker

Feb 06 2025 49 mins

This week, we’re exploring the unfortunate world of The One Year Book of Devotions for Boys—and by that, we mean skimming, laughing, and asking the real questions like, “Why does this devotional need a two-part walrus saga?” It’s a bit of a wild ride—spazzy, unfocused, and full of tangents (because clearly, we’re thriving). From thrift-book bargains to passive moms an

Ep. 42: The Sunday Scaries

Jan 30 2025 44 mins

This week we're taking a break from the usual programming to check in—on us, on you, and on what faith looks like when leaders let us down. The Sunday Scaries is more than burnout; it’s about reclaiming spiritual health when walking into a church feels more terrifying than comforting.

Ep. 41: The Priscilla Perspective

Jan 23 2025 59 mins

What if everything you’ve been told about “biblical womanhood” missed the mark? This week, we're looking at complementarian versus egalitarian viewpoints—are women too strong? Too weak? Too much? Too little? Priscilla, one of Paul’s co-workers and a fearless leader in the early church, didn’t seem to struggle with any of that nonsense. She taught, she led, and she might

Ep. 40: Let's Talk: God, Guys, and Boundaries

Jan 16 2025 61 mins

We're digging into Danae Dobson’s Let’s Talk... again, and wow—it’s a lot. From telling girls to tone down their personalities to teaching that courtship is just a prelude to being “married off,” this book is a time capsule of bad advice. And the “Let’s Talk About Boys” chapter? Let's just say that a chapter interviewing teenage boys about what they find attractiv

Ep. 39: Let's Talk... And Probably Offend Someone

Jan 09 2025 51 mins

Let’s be honest: devotionals for "Christian Girls" are painful. This week, we're talking about a book from our youth, which isn’t just outdated—it’s a masterclass in teaching girls to feel small, ashamed, and silent. We’re unpacking the purity culture, body shaming, and impossible standards it peddles. This is just the first in a series, and trust us, we’re not holding

Ep. 38: Our Stories (Remixed)

Jan 02 2025 56 mins

Ever prayed as a kid for a miraculous snowstorm—just to skip church? Been there. In this episode, we're talking about growing up in ultra-conservative churches, complete with boring devotionals and the same sermons over and over. Alyssa dishes on her “perfect Christian girl” phase—spoiler alert: it didn’t age well—and Bri shares how being single in the church sometimes

Ep. 37: Wine is a Miracle

Dec 26 2024 40 mins

Today, we’re talking about Mary at the wedding in Cana and the audacious faith it takes to ask Jesus for a miracle—even when he seems to brush her off. The wine’s running out, the party’s about to flop, and Mary’s like, “Hey Jesus, do your thing.” His response? Basically, “Not my problem.” But Mary doesn’t even flinch—she just tells the servants, “Do whateve
