Encouraging and inspiring

I came across this podcasts when I was having struggles of living at the intersection between Christianity and feminism. Still struggling, BUT, this podcast has been so helpful in my personal and spiritual journey. Especially, during this past year (2020)! I’ve learned so much and I’m better able to understand and articulate the issues with the church and the feminist movement I’ve discovered.
I appreciate your work so much! Still catching up on the episodes and looking forward to more :)

Love the Range of Voices!

I met the hosts, Jess and Tyler, on Twitter some months back, and their message resonates instantly! Their interviews are insightful, personal and full of heart. It was a blessing to be a guest a few weeks ago. TY both for all the amazing work you are doing within the body of Christ! ❤️💥- E

Blessed Are the Feminists

I love the way Jessica and Tyler interview their guest. It is done with so much humility and joy, almost like they are talking over a cup of coffee. The podcast also allows us to meet amazing people. I really loved Sierra's interview!
