We Are More: Sisters Talk Faith & Feminism

What do you get when a queen says no, a king throws a tantrum, and VeggieTales turns it into a sandwich joke? A tiny story with massive implications. Four verses. One refusal. And a narrative that’s been reshaped for generations. This week, we’re taking a closer look at Queen Vashti—what really happened, what got added, and why it still matters. Because this isn’t just her story… it’s ours too.

Genesis made us uncomfortable… like, “wait, that’s in the Bible?” uncomfortable. We’re breaking down Tamar’s story (yeah, that one) and the woman who touched Jesus’ robe and got her life back. These aren’t your typical church stories. They’re messier, deeper, and way more real.

This week, we’re talking about Hagar—yet another woman the church quietly keeps in the background. Used, discarded, and blamed in a story she never chose, her life is messy, painful, and anything but a footnote. But she’s also the one who meets God in the wilderness and dares to name Him. Maybe the stories we’ve been taught to overlook are the ones that expose everything.

100 episodes later and somehow we’re still here… and apparently still the problem. In this episode, we’re celebrating two years of We Are More with a little reflection, a little chaos, and a lot of sister banter. We talk about the pushback, the weird things the internet does, what surprised us most about podcasting, and why we still haven't been struck by lightning. Mostly, it’s a reminder that honest conversations about faith, feminism, and church still matter—and we’re not done yet.

The internet says men are lonely because feminism ruined women. We have… other theories. This week we talk about masculinity, church culture, emotional repression, and why women are increasingly deciding that if respect isn’t included, they’d rather stay single. Turns out, patriarchy hurts women… but it might be ruining men’s lives too.

Birthday dilly-dallying somehow leads us straight into the Winter Olympics. We’re talking women in sports, the sexism around athletes like Alysa Liu and Amber Glenn, and why “it was just a joke” is the weakest defense on earth. Get comfy—this one’s funny, but it’s not soft.

This week on We Are More: we’re talking First Ladies—Michelle Obama, Dr. Jill Biden, Laura Bush, and Melania—and what we actually expect from women in power. We’re comparing education, influence, and impact (not just outfits), and side-eyeing the double standard that somehow never goes away. Come for the commentary, stay for the very reasonable question: why are women still expected to do everything perfectly and quietly?

New cat. Same chaos. Same Jesus-loves-women energy (still somehow controversial).This week we’re doomscrolling so no one else has to: weaponized Bible verses, “not all men,” church niceness masquerading as goodness, and why “heaven has gates” is a garbage theology and a worse immigration policy.It’s sharp, it’s a little unhinged, and it’s very We Are More—come laugh with us before the world makes us scream.

We’re talking about the people you’re supposed to be able to trust—and why that keeps blowing up in everyone’s faces. Think Lady Whistledown energy, but with receipts: Michael Tait, James Dobson, RJ May, and a depressing lineup of pastors who preached “family values” while doing the exact opposite. This isn’t gossip—it’s about patterns, power, and why the church keeps protecting institutions instead of people. It’s blunt, a little feral, and very much a “name names and burn the excuses” kind of episode.

We start with musical theater nonsense (as one does)… and then we talk about something we can’t ignore.This episode is for anyone who’s watching what’s happening with immigration and feeling sick, angry, heartbroken—or numb. We’re talking about the human cost, the propaganda, the chaos, and why the Bible is not vague about how to treat immigrants and refugees.

Deconstruction is lonely. It’s grief. It’s rage. It’s realizing the “community” you were promised only worked if you stayed quiet. But on the other side? There’s more honesty, more freedom—and somehow, way more Jesus than you ever found inside the rules. This episode is for anyone who’s been told “leaving church means leaving God.” Spoiler: it doesn’t. Fragile systems break—God doesn’t.

Christian music + MAGA alignment isn’t “just politics” — it’s spiritual manipulation in a worship hoodie. This week, we’re talking Michael W. Smith, Matthew West, Brandon Lake, Natasha Owens, Gary Chapman, and what happens when faith chases power instead of Jesus. We also somehow open with books bound in human skin, because honestly… that tracks.

We're furious, heartbroken, and exhausted watching Christianity line up behind abuse, power, and cruelty. In this week's episode we talk about Mark Driscoll, MAGA theology, and how the church keeps calling harm “God’s will.” This one isn’t gentle—because what’s happening doesn’t deserve gentleness.

Paula White wants a “faith office” in the White House—what could possibly go wrong? We’re unpacking how Trump’s spiritual advisor helped rebrand political power as God’s plan, complete with wild claims, fear-based theology, and a very convenient donation pitch. If Christianity starts sounding like a campaign rally, it’s probably not Jesus. Consider this episode a table-flip.

We’re closing out 2025 exactly how we feel: exhausted, a little unhinged, and fully committed to pajama theology. In this episode, we reflect on our first full calendar year of the pod—our favorite moments, biggest laughs, top episodes, and the stats that made us go, “Wait… you all listened HOW much?” Come hang with us for a cozy year-end recap and a whole lot of sister energy.

Everyone loves Mrs. Claus—quiet, domestic, eternally supportive. In the first half of this episode, we break down how she became the perfect Victorian woman: stuck in the private sphere, doing all the work, and getting none of the credit. Then we get into Catherine Dickens, the real-life Mrs. Claus behind A Christmas Carol, and how Charles Dickens built a legacy while burning her reputation to the ground. Turns out the “ideal wife” only thrives in fiction—and even then, she’s exhausted.

She was a doctor.A lawmaker.A suffragist.Oh, and she ran for office against her own husband... and won.This week, Martha Hughes Cannon proves that women have always been the problem patriarchy couldn't solve. And she did it all 24 years before women could vote nationally. If that's not a Christmas miracle, what is?

We started this episode laughing about cars made of popsicle sticks and our collective inability to drive in snow… and somehow ended up deep in the catacombs with St. Lucy. Her story isn’t the sanitized candle-crown version we learned as kids—this woman defied an empire, ditched a fiancé who felt entitled to her life, and literally brought light into the darkest places. She fed the hungry, protected her people, and paid the ultimate price for choosing compassion over control. This week, we're reclaiming the woman who shaped Christmas while history tried to snuff her out.

Dear Men, every holiday season there’s that one moment—the joke, the shrug, the silence—where we’re reminded how quickly our voices get dismissed. If you want to be an ally, not just a “nice guy,” this is where you stop coasting. The women in your life are carrying more than you think, and we’re done pretending it doesn’t hurt. Listen to this episode, because if you’ve ever wondered how to truly have our backs… this is your roadmap.

Jesus didn’t miracle up bread and fish so modern Christians could fight SNAP benefits. If the Son of God looked at a hungry crowd and said ‘yeah, we’re feeding everybody,’ maybe the bare-minimum Christian response isn’t calling hunger ‘good stewardship.’ If your faith can justify giving millions to church building campaigns but panics at the thought of feeding people, this episode might burn a little — and it should.

Elphaba was never Wicked — she was just the woman Oz couldn’t control. In this takedown of the “green girl gone bad” narrative, we dive into Wicked, Elphaba, Glinda, and why powerful women get labeled villains the second they stop playing nice. We'll call out the politics of popularity, church-adjacent hypocrisy, and the way standing up for marginalized people somehow makes us the problem. Grab your broom — we’re not fixing our reputations, we’re setting them on fire. Listen now.

She filled stadiums, sold millions of books, and somehow still managed to tick off the Southern Baptist boys’ club. Beth Moore proved that using your brain and your voice is apparently revolutionary — and the backlash she faced shows exactly why. Here’s what went down — listen in.

When Amy Grant’s marriage ended, Christian America acted like she personally broke the Ten Commandments — never mind the fact that she didn’t cheat, and the rumor was completely manufactured. Meanwhile, pastors with actual scandals get standing ovations. So why do men get redemption arcs while women get dragged for things that never even happened? Let’s talk faith, hypocrisy, and why honesty shouldn’t ruin your career — but apparently, just being a woman can.

Welcome to Nightmare on Mansplaining Street, where the haunted house isn’t full of monsters—it’s full of purity culture, misquoted scripture, and the Patriarchy Megaphone yelling “smile more.” We wander through creepy rooms like the Library of Misquoted Scripture and the Junior Church Horror Circle, laughing so we don’t scream. It’s spooky, snarky, and uncomfortably real. Grab a candle and try not to trip over the rug of spiritual chaos on the way out.

At nineteen, Mary Shelley gave the world Frankenstein—and a warning about what happens when men play God. Two centuries later, we’re still surrounded by the same kind of creators: powerful, unaccountable, and shocked when their monsters bite back. This week, we’re talking feminism, faith, and what Mary Shelley knew long before anyone would listen—the real horror story is patriarchy.

It’s not all men—but it’s enough. Enough that women change how they walk, dress, and move through the world just to feel safe. This episode unpacks what “not all men” really misses, how fear shapes our daily lives, and what real accountability and allyship actually look like.

In a galaxy not so far away, Christians made the Bible their idol - and forgot the Force behind it. This week on Christian Idol: Revenge of the Bible, we're taking a closer look at how the "Word of God" got treated like God Himself, and what happens when verses take center stage. Because somewhere along the way, people stopped worshipping through the Bible... and started worshipping it instead.

Forget American Idol—this is Christian Idol, where the finalists are marriage, politics, and a whole lot of misplaced devotion. We're calling them out Randy-style, and spoiler: it’s a no from us. Because nothing says ‘worship’ like shoving Jesus off the stage for a shinier idol.

We're always up for talking about bad dates, and discovering the world of right-wing dating apps checks every box. There's all the regular stuff... no women to be found, CEOs who take advantage, and plenty of MAGA vibes. Then come the gems: "Never go on a date with a feminist again" and "Conservatives have better sex" (seriously questioning that one). Welcome to the echo chamber. We'd advise swiping left.

We’re sick, tired, and fresh off Disney, doomscrolling our way through cemeteries, church chaos, TikToks, and billionaires doing good while the rest of us cry into our algorithms. Laughing, ranting, and judging humanity together — this is Funny How We’re Doomed.
