"We were told that if we pulled on one thread, the whole tapestry would unravel. So we pulled. And it did. Now we're standing in a pile of yarn, wondering if there's anything left worth saving.

Today, Dr. Tiffany Yecke Brooks joins the show to talk about her new book, To Rebehold the Stars. We're moving past the 'angry' phase of deconstruction and into the radical act of reimagining. We talk about the religious language that was used to keep us small, why 'traditional' formation feels like a trap, and how to find a spirituality that actually breathes. If you're tired of being told you're 'lost' just because you left the building, this episode is your roadmap to the stars."

This week on Faith and Feminism, we're digging into the fractures of the American Church with Dr. Jared Stacy, author of Reality in Ruins. We explore the "Gospel of Paranoia"—a theological and social pipeline that has turned pews into echo chambers and replaced the pursuit of truth with a obsession for "hidden" knowledge.

Jared breaks down why American Evangelicalism was the perfect breeding ground for modern conspiracy theories and how these "holy" suspicions are used to protect patriarchal power structures and nationalist identities.

What if the "fall of man" was actually woman's first act of courage? Join us as we talk with B.K. O'Connor, author of Eve, about her bold feminist reimagining of the world's first woman as a heroine of curiosity rather than a scapegoat for sin. We explore how reclaiming Eve's agency can transform our understanding of faith, knowledge, and the power of choosing the unknown.
