We are Alyssa and Bri, two sisters who believe God wants more for women than we've been taught. Join us as we dive into the intersection of faith and feminism, learning together as we go.
Who told y’all Mary Magdalene was a hooker? Because it wasn’t the Bible. Mary Magdalene wasn’t a prostitute — but erasing powerful women by calling them whores is a church tradition older than commun…
Today is the day! We're finally talking about our best friend (she doesn’t know it yet), Beth Allison Barr's, newest book: Becoming the Pastor’s Wife. Hang out with us while we uncover the ways the r…
The western church's version of Jesus is too religious. Too focused on power, rules, and control—too busy legislating morality to look anything like, well, Jesus. If faith has been weaponized against…
Our best friend, Beth Allison Barr, came to town, and you know we had to be there. We sat front and center for her talk on biblical womanhood, patriarchy, and why history is way less patriarchal than…
The early church wasn’t obsessed with power. But modern American Christianity? I’s practically campaigning. If you think a billionaire is gonna save your soul—or your bank account—you might need to c…
Jesus flipping tables? Iconic. The modern American church flipping its morals for political power? Not so much. This week, we’re reviewing Your Jesus Is Too American and the absolute mess that is eva…
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 …
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 …
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…
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…
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 reclaim…
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…
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,” thi…
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, ash…
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 t…
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 fl…
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 fier…
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." B…
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 th…
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 t…
