In this episode, we confront one of the most contentious topics in Christian discourse: the role of women in the church, particularly through the lens of 1 Timothy. Often weaponized to silence female voices, this scripture has sparked debates and division. We’ll unpack the context and cultural implications of this letter and ask whether it reflects a core Christian tenet or a misinterpretation of its time.
Join me as I share my personal experiences of being silenced in the church and reveal how scripture can be misused in conversations about faith. Let’s renew our minds and discern what truly embodies the will of God.

Yes, there will be some swearing. I start each episode with “b******t” as a heads-up, and I might swear in person or even during prayers. This podcast reflects the real me.
I’m still exploring my faith, and my questions stem from curiosity. I gather insights from various sources—books, articles, podcasts, conversations with priests, and tech tools. I don’t claim to have all the answers, and I encourage you to seek your own truth. I embrace technology to enhance this process because I’m a tech nerd at heart!
