We Are More: Sisters Talk Faith & Feminism

We think most of us can agree: it's tough to be a woman. Today, we're drawing inspiration from Disney’s “A Bug’s Life” because, let’s face it, sometimes being a woman feels like dodging giant grasshoppers and navigating a world designed for someone else. We'll tackle serious issues like the staggering $300,000 more it costs to simply be a woman in the United States. And maybe, if we're lucky, Bri...

Remember when we explored Toxic Masculinity? This week, we're diving into its counterpart: Toxic Femininity. We're unpacking the outdated expectations of what women are “supposed” to look like, from rigid beauty standards to unrealistic norms. We'll be asking the questions, "Why do we do this to ourselves?" and "Is this what God asked us to be?" Join us as we reflect on these gender norms and sear...

In this episode, we dig into the worlds of subliminal and benevolent sexism, exposing the subtle ways gender norms can even sneak into a Target run. And just for you, we did in-field research. We'll explore how our favorite stores and places sneak stereotypes into everyday thoughts, and how they can influence us all. So grab your coffee and join us for some serious chats, goofy stories, and a lot...

Today, we're diving into the deep end, tackling Christian Bros and Toxic Masculinity. We'll be dissecting means to be a 'manly man' in today's world and whether that fits in with God's plan. Plus, we've got our first-ever guest, Alyssa's husband Nathan, joining in. He's going to share his take on how toxic masculinity affects everyone. Get ready for laughs, deep thoughts, and maybe even a chicken...

Boys will be boys? With the use of AI, now boys may become bots. Hold onto your virtual hats, because we're diving into AI and how it can become a nightmare when used against women. Join us as we unpack how AI is reshaping the landscape with manipulated videos and pictures. Spoiler alert: it’s not all glitter and girl power. Tune in as we turn up the heat on the gendered use of AI, deepfakes, and...

Hoping to hear us mispronounce some more Biblical terms? You're in luck! In our latest episode, we're diving once again into submission in Christian marriages, but this time we'll be exploring the term "Kephalē," or male headship (yes, we know how that sounds). Through lots of research, goofy stories, and Biblical takes, we'll explore how the Bible actually champions equality and mutual respect, n...

Ever wondered how Bridgerton’s juicy gossip ties into feminism in the church? Wonder no more! Join us for a laugh-filled mini episode where we chat about the Queen, dinosaurs, and the church’s role in championing women’s rights. It’s all about mixing Regency romance with modern faith, and it’s a conversation we can't wait to share with you!

This week, we’re back with more laughs, less rage (maybe), and a deep dive into the wild world of submission in marriage. Will we finally figure it out? Probably not. But we will have fun trying! Expect Taylor Swift shoutouts, pigeon mail jokes, and our best attempts to stay on track (spoiler: we won't). It's part two of a never-ending debate, filled with snark, silliness, and our usual dose of in...

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...

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...
