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 This week, we're talking about a book from our youth, which isn’t just outdated—it’s a masterclass in teaching girls to feel small, ashamed, and silent.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

Ep. 36: Mary Did Know

Dec 19 2024 49 mins

When you picture Mary, the mother of Jesus, is she draped in blue, head bowed, the epitome of quiet submission? That’s the image art and tradition have sold us—but Mary was so much more. She was fierce. She was resilient. She was a leader—one whose husband submitted to her. This week, we’re taking a sledgehammer to the demure Mary trope and uncovering the incredible woman b

Ep. 35: Teen Mom - Featuring Mary

Dec 12 2024 56 mins

Alright, gather 'round, because we're talking Mary, the OG mother of Jesus (or MMOJ as the cool kids call her). Most Christmas services say, "Let's start at Luke 2, no need to go any further back." But not us, we're going all the way back to Luke 1 to see Mary make her big debut. And let us tell you, this teenager was way more than just some demure figure in a painting. Mary was th

Ep. 34: The Hills Are Alive... With Joy?

Dec 05 2024 60 mins

The holiday season: a time for joy… so we're told. Between gift lists, family gatherings, and endless to-dos, how do you hold onto that deep, lasting joy we’ve been told we're supposed to feel? In this episode, we’re talking about finding joy in the chaos and stress of the holidays. With a little help from Scripture (and maybe a laugh or two), we’re unpacking what it means

Ep. 33: Billy Bob Saves Thanksgiving

Nov 27 2024 51 mins

Picture this: the turkey’s still frozen, your aunts are already arguing about the mashed potatoes, and someone just brought up politics at the table. Sound familiar? We’re diving into all the chaos that comes with Thanksgiving – from setting boundaries that actually stick to finding real gratitude (even when it’s hard). Grab a slice of pumpkin pie and join us, because this
