We Are More: Sisters Talk Faith & FeminismEp. 66: What in the Hallelujah?This week we're asking "What in the Hallelujah?"—because our guest Heather Frazier is here! Author of "Mom Got Jesus Wrong, Hallelujah!" and full-time slayer of religious BS, Heather walks us through her wild ride of unlearning everything from fear-based faith to misogynistic theology. She’s hilarious, unfiltered, and somehow still full of grace. Come for the deconstruction, stay for the snark, and maybe grab a drink—it’s that kind of episode.2025-07-2448 min
We Are More: Sisters Talk Faith & FeminismEp. 65: The Church and the RestlessThis week on The Church and the Restless, we’re decentering men—spiritually, socially, and scripturally. From Deborah the war-leading prophet, to St. Brigid who founded monasteries, to Margaret Towner—the first woman ordained in the Presbyterian Church, to Rachel Held Evans who made evangelical Twitter sweat—we’re reclaiming the pulpit. Women preaching isn’t some radical new doctrine; it’s been canon since Judges 4. And if patriarchy thinks it wrote the altar call, we’re here to remind them—women have been main characters in the pews, the pulpits, and the plot since day one.2025-07-1756 min
We Are More: Sisters Talk Faith & FeminismEp. 64: What If Church Felt Safe?We asked our TikTok audience one big question: what would make women feel safe in church again? The answers were honest, a little spicy, and surprisingly consistent. This week, we’re diving into our own experiences—navigating church spaces as women who’ve questioned where we belong—and sharing the responses that hit hardest. It's not about dragging people back to Sunday services... it’s about naming what’s broken and imagining something better.2025-07-1050 min
We Are More: Sisters Talk Faith & FeminismEp. 63: Like a GirlThis week we’re keeping it chill(ish) and chatting about everything from Mackenzie Scott’s “quiet billionaire” philanthropy flex to a women-only rideshare app that actually prioritizes safety—because apparently that's still a radical concept. We’re also reading some of our favorite TikTok comments (the unhinged ones live rent-free in our heads) and laughing our way through the chaos. Oh, and we do a quick dive into India’s Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman, who’s running the show and making moves you probably haven’t heard enough about. No heavy agenda—just some good stories, side-eye-worthy headlines, and a little feminis...2025-07-0352 min
We Are More: Sisters Talk Faith & FeminismEp. 61: When the Surface BreaksWe hated seeing our faces on Zoom, but loved talking to Cynthia Beach. She’s the brilliant mind behind The Surface of Water, and we’re diving into church trauma, fierce female characters, and the truth that cuts deep. From classroom memories to #ChurchToo realities, this conversation is raw, honest, and a little too familiar for anyone who's spent time behind the scenes at church. It’s one of those episodes that lingers long after it ends.2025-06-2648 min
We Are More: Sisters Talk Faith & FeminismEp. 61: The One With All the Red FlagsIs he brooding… or just emotionally unavailable? In this episode, we dive into the relationships we were told to root for—Elizabeth & Darcy and Ross & Rachel. We'll unpack these problematic romances we grew up idolizing—because “he’s a cinnamon roll to her” only works if he’s not a raging jerk to literally everyone else. From Darcy's insult proposal to Ross’s chronic jealousy and entitlement, we’re asking the hard questions—like, was Lizzie falling in love… or just touring real estate?2025-06-1954 min
We Are More: Sisters Talk Faith & FeminismEp. 60: More Plastic Bag Than FireworkEver feel more like a crumpled plastic bag than a soaring firework? Same. This week, we’re calling out the lies that tell us we’re not smart enough, strong enough, or worthy enough—and where those lies really come from. From church culture to capitalism, we’re naming names and pushing back. Because you were never meant to stay stuck in the trash.2025-06-1245 min
We Are More: Sisters Talk Faith & FeminismEp. 59: I Will ProvideWomen keep leaving the church—and the marriages it pushes. Maybe because “God will provide” somehow turned into “he pays the bills, you provide literally everything else.” In this episode, we’re redefining what it means to be a provider: emotionally, spiritually, relationally. It’s not just about money, and it’s definitely not just for men. Cue a Gloria Gaynor remix: I Will Provide.2025-06-0546 min
We Are More: Sisters Talk Faith & FeminismEp. 58: We Do Not Yield To Disrespectful Men (too)Seventy percent of divorces in the U.S. are initiated by women—and no, it’s not because we’ve all been corrupted by Taylor Swift and oat milk lattes. Maybe it’s because women are finally realizing they don’t have to stay married to men who think doing the dishes is “helping.” We’re digging into what this stat actually says about marriage, independence, and why AOC’s “I will not yield to disrespectful men” is basically our new national anthem. Come for the sass, stay for the stats, and bring plenty of wine—we'll all need it2025-05-2955 min
We Are More: Sisters Talk Faith & FeminismEp. 57: Poditians... Hear Me OutThis week, we're back in Women and the Gender of God by Amy Peeler, and the last chapters are taking us there. We’re talking about Mary’s yes—not a passive “sure, whatever,” but an informed, free, and powerful choice. We’re digging into consent, agency, and why the “perfect path” theology we grew up with is... not it. Plus, we wade into the masculine myth surrounding God and how patriarchy managed to call delusion “divine order.” Join us for another long-winded, fiery, funny chapter breakdown—because God gave us free will and three pages of notes.2025-05-2245 min
The SML PodcastThe SML Podcast - Episode 1043: The Souls of DanglepeenDownload Episode 1043 – Buckle up because we’ve got a massive episode packed with an interview, a guest for news, and a bunch of reviews!The show kicks off with Bri Galgano, Jacob Garner, and Aki on hand to welcome game development duo Pavel Lara and his brother Paulo Lara of Galla Games to the show to chat about their new release Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo, a gorgeous time based puzzle adventure out now on Xbox Game Pass!

We Are More: Sisters Talk Faith & FeminismEp. 56: What If Ariana Got It Right?What if God isn’t some bearded old guy in the sky? In this episode, we’re finally talking about Amy Peeler’s book, Women and the Gender of God, and yes — it’s as disruptive as it sounds. We're digging into who decided God had to be a “He,” why that stuck, and what cracks open when you question it. As always, it’s about gender, power, and the full-blown existential meltdown conservatives have when God doesn’t come wrapped in patriarchy. Spoiler: Ariana Grande might have been onto something.2025-05-1554 min
We Are More: Sisters Talk Faith & FeminismEp. 55: Let Women Have Nice ThingsEver notice how the headlines are all about men? We’re over it. This week, we’re flipping the script—starting with an art gallery that straight-up banned men (and yes, it’s as iconic as it sounds). We’re also diving into BookTok: why it's blowing up, who’s trying to tear it down, and how the backlash reeks of sexist nonsense. Women are reading, creating, curating—and we’re here for all of it. Let’s make women the headline for once.2025-05-0845 min
We Are More: Sisters Talk Faith & FeminismEp. 54: Where You Lead... I Will Also LeadThis is the episode where we ask: why are women leading in the Bible... but still not allowed to lead in half our churches? We’re talking prophets, preachers, and a “mighty throng” of gospel-proclaiming women — while the men were literally asleep. Plus, we’re side-eyeing Bible translations that erase women and calling out the church for being more patriarchal than the culture it claims to stand against. It’s about to get uncomfortable (in a holy way... ish).2025-05-0158 min
We Are More: Sisters Talk Faith & FeminismEp. 53: One Man ≠ Community, SisYou weren’t built to carry life alone—and you definitely weren’t meant to text your therapist, your mom, and your barista the same vent paragraph because you’ve got no one else. Girlhood is sacred. Female friendship is holy ground. Mary didn’t run to Joseph—she ran to Elizabeth. This week, we’re talking about why your village better include women who get it.2025-04-2447 min
We Are More: Sisters Talk Faith & FeminismEp. 52: Who Told Ya'll She Was a Hooker?Who told y’all Mary Magdalene was a hooker? Because it wasn’t the Bible. Mary Magdalene wasn’t a prostitute — but erasing powerful women by calling them whores is a church tradition older than communion wine. This week we’re calling it what it is and dragging the theology that made it possible. And here's a shock: some of those dusty old sermons didn’t age well.2025-04-1754 min
We Are More: Sisters Talk Faith & FeminismEp. 51: Another Banger by BethToday is the day! We're finally talking about our best friend (she doesn’t know it yet), Beth Allison Barr's, newest book: Becoming the Pastor’s Wife. Hang out with us while we uncover the ways the role of “pastor’s wife” has been shaped by patriarchy, not the Bible. Why have women been told that their calling to ministry means that they should marry a pastor? Why is it that when your husband gets a pulpit, you get a church organ and a casserole dish? Let’s unpack the expectations, the erasure, and what it means to reclaim your calling...2025-04-1056 min
We Are More: Sisters Talk Faith & FeminismEp. 50: Your Jesus Is Too ReligiousThe western church's version of Jesus is too religious. Too focused on power, rules, and control—too busy legislating morality to look anything like, well, Jesus. If faith has been weaponized against you, if ‘Christian values’ seem more about politics than love, you’re not imagining it. Let’s talk about the difference between the real Jesus and the one wrapped in red, white, and blue. This week, we're wrapping up Steve Bezner’s Your Jesus is Too American and talking more about what it really means to follow Jesus when even Christianity doesn't look much like Him.2025-04-0359 min
We Are More: Sisters Talk Faith & FeminismEp. 49: Fangirling With BethOur best friend, Beth Allison Barr, came to town, and you know we had to be there. We sat front and center for her talk on biblical womanhood, patriarchy, and why history is way less patriarchal than certain church leaders want it to be. She didn’t hold back, and honestly, we loved every second of it. In this episode, we’re recapping the highlights, sharing our favorite moments, and, of course, talking about "Becoming the Pastor's Wife." Oh, and did we totally fangirl? Maybe. No regrets.2025-03-2754 min
We Are More: Sisters Talk Faith & FeminismEp. 48: Jesus Saves, Billionaires Don'tThe early church wasn’t obsessed with power. But modern American Christianity? I’s practically campaigning. If you think a billionaire is gonna save your soul—or your bank account—you might need to check who’s really benefiting from all that “Christian generosity.” Spoiler alert: it’s not the poor. It’s not the marginalized. And it’s definitely not Jesus. Generosity with conditions isn’t generosity at all, and when churches start looking more like political action committees than communities of faith, we’ve got a problem. This week, we’re diving into week 2 of Steve Bezner’s Your Jesus Is Too American...2025-03-201h 00
We Are More: Sisters Talk Faith & FeminismEp. 47: Your Idol Is ShowingJesus flipping tables? Iconic. The modern American church flipping its morals for political power? Not so much. This week, we’re reviewing Your Jesus Is Too American and the absolute mess that is evangelical nationalism. Plus, let's talk about how Beth Moore got canceled for… checks notes… standing up for the oppressed, and somehow we’re still pretending this isn’t a massive red flag? If Christianity is supposed to be about love, why does it look more like a political power grab? And if we’re supposed to follow Jesus, maybe we should stop idolizing golden statues of failed polit...2025-03-1356 min
We Are More: Sisters Talk Faith & FeminismEp. 46: Weight For ItWe’re back from our brief hiatus, and this episode? It's a wild ride. We’re diving headfirst into the church’s weird, exhausting obsession with women’s bodies—because apparently, holiness comes with a goal weight. We’ll also be fangirling over our best friend (who has no clue we exist) Beth Allison Barr’s upcoming book, Becoming the Pastor’s Wife, and unpacking how the church has perfected the art of controlling women under the guise of “godly expectations.” And before you start stressing about whether your body is a “temple,” let’s get one thing straight—it’s not about weight, waist...2025-03-0648 min
We Are More: Sisters Talk Faith & FeminismEp. 45: A Girl Called JudgmentDinah's story is one of those Old Testament wild rides—tragic, infuriating, and somehow still relevant. We’re unpacking Genesis 34, where Jacob does the absolute least, Dinah’s 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, you’re not alone—she'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...2025-02-2054 min
We Are More: Sisters Talk Faith & FeminismEp. 44: We Love You, Ridiculous HumansThis week’s episode is all about love in its many forms. From the messy journey of self-love to loving your neighbor (even when they’re the worst), to the joys and chaos of romance, we’re diving into what it really means to love and be loved. Expect heartfelt moments, plenty of laughs, and maybe a little tough love—because, let’s be real, some of y’all (and us) need to hear it.Tune in, laugh with us, and remember: You are more than enough.2025-02-1352 min
We Are More: Sisters Talk Faith & FeminismEp. 43: God Will Use You TroublemakerThis week, we’re exploring the unfortunate world of The One Year Book of Devotions for Boys—and by that, we mean skimming, laughing, and asking the real questions like, “Why does this devotional need a two-part walrus saga?” It’s a bit of a wild ride—spazzy, unfocused, and full of tangents (because clearly, we’re thriving). From thrift-book bargains to passive moms and ambitious boys with career options like “pilot” or “pastor,” we’re unpacking the subliminal messages that shaped a generation of church kids. Grab your coffee (or scary murder book), and let’s do this before the breakdowns hit.2025-02-0649 min
We Are More: Sisters Talk Faith & FeminismEp. 42: The Sunday ScariesThis week we're taking a break from the usual programming to check in—on us, on you, and on what faith looks like when leaders let us down. The Sunday Scaries is more than burnout; it’s about reclaiming spiritual health when walking into a church feels more terrifying than comforting.2025-01-3044 min
