We are a community of women reclaiming our place in theological discourse… Beyond the pink-covered devotionals and gendered expectations, rooted in Scripture, driven by curiosity, and unafraid to wrestle with hard truths. Our mission is to cultivate a space where women’s voices are central, where theology is rigorous and inclusive, and where faith is not domesticated but daring. We believe that deep, transformative engagement with God and one another is not reserved for a privileged few, but is the birthright of every woman made in the image of the Divine.

    Introducing Weird Women

    Weird Women is coming. Starting October 13th in the Theology Girls podcast feed, join Katy Goldstein and Wendy Schulz for a six-episode series exploring the gifts of the Holy Spirit through the women who've carried them — from Miriam leading Israel in song at the Red Sea, to Hildegard of Bingen correcting popes, to a gospel choir in Kentucky, to ordinary women praying, prophesying, and healing in ordinary rooms today. Told through interviews and monologue, in the tradition of the documentary podcasts you already love, this series makes the case that the Spirit never stopped moving through women — and that you don't need a title, a platform, or permission to be one of them. You just need to be available. New episodes drop weekly starting on 10/13, only on the Theology Girls feed. Visit www.weirdwomenpodcast.com for more information and to sign up for emails.
