Dinah's story is one of those Old Testament wild ridesâtragic, infuriating, and somehow still relevant. Weâre unpacking Genesis 34, where Jacob does the absolute least, Dinahâs 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 written. If you've never heard of Dinah, youâre not aloneâshe's new to us too. Buckle up, because this one is morally grey at best.
Trigger warning for this one: we'll be dealing with themes of assault and violence.

This week, weâre exploring the unfortunate world of The One Year Book of Devotions for Boysâand by that, we mean skimming, laughing, and asking the real questions like, âWhy does this devotional need a two-part walrus saga?â Itâs a bit of a wild rideâspazzy, unfocused, and full of tangents (because clearly, weâre thriving). From thrift-book bargains to passive moms and ambitious boys with career options like âpilotâ or âpastor,â weâre unpacking the subliminal messages that shaped a generation of church kids. Grab your coffee (or scary murder book), and letâs do this before the breakdowns hit.

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

What if everything youâve been told about âbiblical womanhoodâ missed the mark? This week, we're looking at complementarian versus egalitarian viewpointsâare women too strong? Too weak? Too much? Too little? Priscilla, one of Paulâs co-workers and a fearless leader in the early church, didnât seem to struggle with any of that nonsense. She taught, she led, and she might have even written the book of Hebrews. So, why are we still stuck in the middle?

We're digging into Danae Dobsonâs Letâs Talk... again, and wowâitâs a lot. From telling girls to tone down their personalities to teaching that courtship is just a prelude to being âmarried off,â this book is a time capsule of bad advice. And the âLetâs Talk About Boysâ chapter? Let's just say that a chapter interviewing teenage boys about what they find attractive in girls is as gross and shallow as youâd expect. Why were we all told to be less and look perfect just to be âworthyâ?
If you grew up reading this book or anything like it, youâll want to tune in. We have so so very many thoughts.

Letâs be honest: devotionals for "Christian Girls" are painful. This week, we're talking about a book from our youth, which isnât just outdatedâitâs a masterclass in teaching girls to feel small, ashamed, and silent. Weâre unpacking the purity culture, body shaming, and impossible standards it peddles. This is just the first in a series, and trust us, weâre not holding back. Women, if you're ready to see yourselves as worth more to God than you ever thought possible, hit playâthis oneâs for you.

Ever prayed as a kid for a miraculous snowstormâjust 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 âperfect Christian girlâ phaseâspoiler alert: it didnât age wellâand Bri shares how being single in the church sometimes feels like wearing a neon âunworthyâ sign. If youâve ever wondered how to unlearn the toxic churchy stuff while keeping the faith, this episode is for you. Press play and letâs dive into the mess together.

Today, weâre talking about Mary at the wedding in Cana and the audacious faith it takes to ask Jesus for a miracleâeven when he seems to brush her off. The wineâs running out, the partyâs about to flop, and Maryâs like, âHey Jesus, do your thing.â His response? Basically, âNot my problem.â But Mary doesnât even flinchâshe just tells the servants, âDo whatever he says,â and boom, miracle time. Join us as we dive into this how her belief sparked Jesusâs first miracle and what it teaches women about strength, leadership, and maybe even a little holy side-eye.

When you picture Mary, the mother of Jesus, is she draped in blue, head bowed, the epitome of quiet submission? Thatâs the image art and tradition have sold usâbut Mary was so much more. She was fierce. She was resilient. She was a leaderâone whose husband submitted to her. This week, weâre taking a sledgehammer to the demure Mary trope and uncovering the incredible woman behind the blue veil. Want to know what strength really looks like? Hit play.

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 the real deal - relatable and struggling with that whole "Hey, you're pregnant" news from the angel Gabriel. So let's ditch the caricatures and get to know the actual Mary. Grab your iced coffee or glass of wine, and let's dive into the story of one of the most iconic women in the Bible.

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 weâve been told we're supposed to feel? In this episode, weâre talking about finding joy in the chaos and stress of the holidays. With a little help from Scripture (and maybe a laugh or two), weâre unpacking what it means to protect your peace and find some joyâbecause if Jesus talked about it, itâs probably worth a shot.

Picture this: the turkeyâs still frozen, your aunts are already arguing about the mashed potatoes, and someone just brought up politics at the table. Sound familiar? Weâre diving into all the chaos that comes with Thanksgiving â from setting boundaries that actually stick to finding real gratitude (even when itâs hard). Grab a slice of pumpkin pie and join us, because this year, weâre all about thankfulness and maybe even a little peace... in theory.

Thanksgiving is here, and so is the family drama buffet. But what if setting boundaries wasnât just a self-care trend but something Jesus himself modeled? In this episode, we talk about why saying "no" to the guilt trip and the extra helping of stress might actually be Biblical. Whether itâs dodging awkward questions at the table or stepping away from toxic traditions, weâre here to remind you: even Jesus didnât cater to everyoneâs expectations. Letâs carve up some boundariesâjust like the turkey!

Frankly, this episode got deleted in a haze of computer programs, migraines, and more than a few angry shouts into the void. But it's back, and better than ever! Probably. Anyway, listen in as we talk about learning to be still and protect yourself, even when you've been told to turn the other cheek.

Dating: Why is it such a nightmare for so many women? Whether it's safety concerns, boys looking for a mom-replacement, or pictures no one wants to see, women have dating rough. In episode 30, Bri is going to share her real-life experiences with online dating, screenshots and all. Then we'll ask some hard questions about our "Christian Dating" upbringing, including courting, kissing dating goodbye, and purity retreats. Is there a "right" way for Christian women to date? Should we have to lower our standards? As we tackle these big questions, weâll also share a few laughs over the cringe-worthy messages Bri has saved. Single women, married women, happily never-want-to-be-married women, this one's for all of us!

Buckle up, witches! This Halloween, weâre diving broom-first into Salemâs dark historyâbut with a twist. We're here to mix some laughs and spooky singalongs with a fresh look at Salemâs so-called witches, who, honestly, deserve a lot more respect than the history books give. Think of them less as villains and more as martyrs caught in a real-life witch hunt. So light a candle, grab your cauldron, and prepare for a bit of history thatâs a far cry from your favorite witchy flicksâbecause this storyâs got more fire than even the Sanderson sisters could conjure.

In episode 28, weâre getting real about people-pleasing, passive partners, and why setting boundaries can feel like a full-time job. From dealing with someone elseâs baggage to being the go-to for everyoneâs responsibilities, women have been raised to keep the peaceâbut should we? We're diving into the story of Mary and Martha, and asking: Did Jesus really expect Christian women to handle all the day-to-day stuff? Plus, weâll spill on our own people-pleasing misadventures. Itâs an honest, relatable convo that just might hit close to home!

In this episode, we wrap up Bathshebaâs story and dive deeper into the broader narrative of women in the Bible. Bathsheba's story is one of resilience, strength, and the impact of her legacy. But she isnât the only woman in the Bible whose voice has been overlooked or misunderstood. From Queen Vashti's defiance to the tragedy of Tamar, there are countless women whose stories have shaped history, faith, and the role of women in the world today. Weâll explore why it's important to tell these stories and discuss the significance of hearing âsheâ and âherâ from the pulpit. Representation, even in scripture, matters. So today, we askâwhat does it mean for us now, and how do we carry these stories forward? Join us as we reflect on the lessons these women teach us and why their voices deserve to be heard just as loudly as the Davids and Josephs of the Bible.
