Ep. 46: Weight For It
from We Are More: Sisters Talk Faith & Feminism · host Alyssa & Bri
We’re back from our brief hiatus, and this episode? It's a wild ride. We’re diving headfirst into the church’s weird, exhausting obsession with women’s bodies—because apparently, holiness comes with a goal weight. We’ll also be fangirling over our best friend (who has no clue we exist) Beth Allison Barr’s upcoming book, Becoming the Pastor’s Wife, and unpacking how the church has perfected the art of controlling women under the guise of “godly expectations.” And before you start stressing about whether your body is a “temple,” let’s get one thing straight—it’s not about weight, waistlines, or whether you dyed your hair green. It’s about being the kind of person people turn to when they need to find God, not the kind of person handing out diet plans in His name.
