We Are More: Sisters Talk Faith & Feminism

Welcome to a special edition episode of We Are More! Today, we're diving headfirst into the world of questionable commencement speeches, courtesy of Harrison Butker. He gave such a lovely speech that even the Nuns are mad at him! Spoiler alert: we've got thoughts. Get ready for a wild ride of laughs, rants, and reminders that women are capable of so much more.

Submission and male leadership are impossible to avoid in the Christian church. But so many of the arguments saying that women are are the ONLY ones asked to submit to their spouses just don't hold up. Today we're going to rip apart the main arguments for female-only submission and set up a 3-part series on what the Bible really wants for Christ-centered marriages and relationships.

As self-proclaimed feminists, we often hear the question: Why do you hate men? As self-proclaimed Christ-followers, we often hear the question: Why did you stay in church if it's as bad as you say? In this episode, we break these questions apart and discuss our faith community, its importance, and why we (don't) hate men.

We were raised to believe women were Biblically excluded from preaching God's word, and questioning that was sin. But what if that isn't true? What if the Bible... clearly... says something else? What does that mean for us? For women? For today's church? Join us for episode 5 as we talk about the women who led.Follow us on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/wearemore.podcast/

Ever been told by a male pastor that your bikini was inappropriate? That your bra strap might cause a man to lust after you? Christian women are told too often that their bodies cause others to sin. But what does the Bible actually say about modesty? Is it really our faults if men don't control their words, eyes, or hands? Let's dig in!

Have you ever had the word "helpmeet" thrown in your face? If you're a woman who's spent much time in Evangelical churches, we bet you have. In episode 3 we'll dive into the origins of this word and why it simply doesn't mean what we've been taught. It turns out, God made women to be warriors. Too bad no one told us that... until now.

We're so excited to bring you episode 2! Join us as we talk about some of the lesser-known women of the Bible and bring to light their importance in God's kingdom. We'll talk about Deborah (or Big Deb, as she is affectionately known), Jael (tent pegs are involved), and Puah and Shifrah (who may have saved the Israelite people). If you're tired of never hearing women mentioned from the pulpit, this is the podcast for you.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that women who grew up in patriarchal churches must be in want of something MORE. We are Alyssa and Bri, two sisters who believe we are meant to be more in God's kingdom than we've been told. We believe in the God-given strength of women to teach and preach God's word, be equal partners in their marriages, and find peace and purpose in their identity through Christ. Through this podcast, we will explore faith, feminism, and the women of the Bible. Join us today for episode 1 where we share our stories and why this topic has lit a fire in our souls.
