Podcast Overview

Auntie Sermons is a feminist, historical, and unapologetically honest podcast that revisits the Bible by centering the women it pushed to the margins. Hosted by CrystalJae, each episode moves methodically and chronologically through the text, focusing on every girl or woman—named or unnamed—and asking what their stories reveal when we stop reading through patriarchal assumptions. These are not sermons about obedience. They are conversations about power, silence, knowledge, and survival. Drawing from biblical texts, historical context, rabbinic and Christian interpretations, and occasionally

Episode 15 | Judith and Basemath: Ride or Die | Esau’s Wives, Loyalty, and the Women Blamed for Family Division in Genesis

Episode 15 | Judith and Basemath: Ride or Die | Esau’s Wives, Loyalty, and the Women Blamed for Family Division in Genesis Judith and Basemath are remembered as the wives who “made life bitter” for Isaac and Rebekah—but what if that isn’t the whole story? In this episode, we revisit Esau’s wives and ask whether these women were really the problem, or whether they were simply loyal to the man they loved in a family already fractured by favoritism, manipulation, and division. This is a story about loyalty, scapegoating, and the women history blamed for standing beside their husbands. What you’ll hear:- How Judith and Basemath are introduced in Genesis- Why later traditions turned them into moral warnings- How family systems create scapegoats- What it means to be “ride or die” in a hostile family structure Resources:- Genesis 26:34–35 (WEB)- Genesis 27:46 (WEB)- Genesis 28:6–9 (WEB)- Genesis Rabbah- Rashi on Genesis 26–28- Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews, Book 1 Follow & Support:https://linktr.ee/iamcrystaljae

Episode 14 | Keturah the Forgotten Wife | Abraham’s Final Wife, Marriage, and the Women Used to Build Nations

Episode 14 | Keturah the Forgotten Wife | Abraham’s Final Wife, Marriage, and the Women Used to Build Nations Keturah is one of the most overlooked women in Genesis—Abraham’s final wife, mother of six sons, and the woman whose descendants helped shape the map of the ancient world. In this episode, we examine how her story exposes the institution of marriage as a system of lineage, expansion, and power, while asking what it means to be remembered only as a function inside someone else’s legacy. What you’ll hear:- Why Keturah’s name means “incense” and why that matters- Rabbinic debates over whether Keturah was actually Hagar- How Christian tradition minimizes her role while preserving her sons- What her story reveals about marriage as structure, transaction, and control Resources:- Genesis 25:1–6 (WEB)- 1 Chronicles 1:32–33 (WEB)- Genesis Rabbah 61:4- Rashi on Genesis 25- Ibn Ezra on Genesis 25- Rashbam on Genesis 25- Matthew Henry Commentary on Genesis 25- John Gill Commentary on Genesis 25- Book of Jubilees- Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews, Book 1 Follow & Support:https://linktr.ee/iamcrystaljae

Episode 13 | The Bond of Rebekah & Her Mother | Rebekah’s Mother, Mothers and Daughters, and Women’s Bonds in Genesis 24

Episode 13 | The Bond of Rebekah & Her Mother | Rebekah’s Mother, Mothers and Daughters, and Women’s Bonds in Genesis 24 In this episode of Auntie Sermons, we examine one of the most overlooked women in Genesis: Rebekah’s unnamed mother. In a rare biblical moment, Rebekah runs to her mother’s house first, not her father’s, revealing a glimpse of female-centered space, maternal authority, and the bond between mothers and daughters. This sermon explores what the text says, what later interpreters did with it, and what is lost when women’s relationships are pushed to the margins. What you’ll hear:- Why “her mother’s house” in Genesis 24 is such an unusual phrase- Rabbinic attempts to explain Bethuel’s disappearance- How Christian and extra-biblical traditions largely ignored Rebekah’s mother- Why women’s relationships and shared wisdom are essential for survival under patriarchy Resources:- Genesis 24:28 (WEB)- Genesis 24:53 (WEB)- Genesis 24:55–60 (WEB)- Genesis 24:50 (WEB)- Genesis Rabbah 60:7- Genesis Rabbah 60:12- Rashi on Genesis 24- Cambridge Bible Commentary on Genesis 24- Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews, Book 1- Book of Jubilees- Book of Jasher Follow & Support:https://linktr.ee/iamcrystaljae
