This week's episode features Susan Hinckley and
Cynthia Winward, the hosts of the incredible
At Last She Said It podcast. In conversation with LDF host
Dan Wotherspoon, they share many things about
their experiences with it over the two years since its launch. How
is it being received? Who is listening? What are the primary themes
that come up again and again? In the course of the dialogue, they
discuss how women too often feel unseen and unheard within the
church. How they are restless. About their concerns for their
daughters coming into an environment that doesn't feel safe or
encouraging of their full expression as women. The guests and host
also have a conversation about how women who are so used to being
powerless at church often also feel powerless in their own
spiritual lives.
The conversation also turns to practical concerns, such as how they
would react should any church leaders ask them to stop recording
the podcast (and how quite a few listeners worry about that
situation possibly arising for them). They also talk of the harms
of patriarchy and how it will need commitment by both women and men
if it is going to be lessened or dismantled entirely.
Dan also turns the tables by asking them the question that they
ask their podcasts guests: What do you know? (At least
know today.)
Listen in! This is a rich discussion that we know you'll enjoy and
gain much from!
