A podcast from two women who who grew up in the evangelical church and slowly realized it (kind of) messed us up! Tune in to hear our stories from growing up in church and Christian culture as well as the recommendations we have for how the American Christian church can improve to become more loving, welcoming and helpful. New episodes are released early each Friday morning.
... But you have made it - a den of theives!~ (if you understand that reference let us know. Christina will be very happy.)
Hey everyone, and welcome to the season finale of Dear God, What the Hell?! Season 2 has been a bit of a bumpy one, but we thank you all for continued support and love!
Today your hosts are discussing a very important event in the bible - Jesus cleansing the temple -dun dun dun-. Jesus basically stormed through a temple because it had become corrupt and was taking advantage of the very people it was meant to serve. The hosts go through the usual topics - when did you hear about it first, what did you think about it? Christina felt a sense of hypocracy within her church when it came to the story, while both hosts look at the events through a modern day lens - comparing it to protests today.

Ep. 13 - A Whole Lot-a Laws
What's up, cool cats and kittens? This week we're diving into the totally bonkers books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy and reading some of our (least) favorite laws from within them. Prepare yourselves for a lot of misogyny, because that seems to be the running theme of the laws we picked to share.

Ep. 12 - Passover: Celebrating it vs Appropriating it
Hey there guys, gals, and non-binary pals! Welcome to the (delayed) Passover episode!

Amanda talks about the passovers she's been a part of, while Christina talks about how her mom swiped wine from Elijah's cup.
