  5. #80 The Lord Is With You

    I know God is with me because the bible tells me so, but I also know it because I’ve experienced it. You’re Not Listening https://razzouktattoo.com/

  6. #79 Mary, the nobody from nowhere

    Jesus, what is it you’re telling me about – YOU. What do you want me to experience with you through your birth story? Amy Peeler Women and the Gender of God Carnes, Motherhood: A Confession

  7. #78 ADVICE FOR THE HOLIDAYS FROM John’s friends

    The holiday season is upon us. So I thought, what if we got intentional about our time around the table this year? What if this year we showed up?

  8. #77 My Body, My Choice? Part Three

    Today we continue our discussion with Mako Nagasawa, who can help shed light on how the early church viewed abortion, what the science meant and how we ended up politicizing abortion. An issue that has and continues to impact us, women, considerably. Mako Nagasawa, Abortion Policy and Christian...

  9. #76 My Body, My Choice? Part Two

    "Who owns my body, my female body"? I've been quietly asking some of my colleagues if they knew of any scholarship about abortion. Mako Nagasawa's book was everything I was looking for and more. Mako Nagasawa, Abortion Policy and Christian Social Ethics in the United States...

  10. #75 My Body, My Choice Part One

    On June 24th, I was in the airport line in Israel, asking myself a question I’ve often asked, “Who owns my body, my female body”? I felt conflicted, I’m not for babies dying, who is, but I also get queasy when people in power limit women’s agency.

  11. #74 Goodbye Ideal Biblical Woman Rewind

    Today we’re talking about letting go of her, the ideal biblical woman, and embracing the one of a kind never to be seen again person that is you It turns out, what’s being promoted as the ideal biblical woman isn’t biblical at all.

  12. #73 That Ideal Biblical woman REWIND

    Today's episode is about her, that ideal biblical woman we've tried to be like or simply abdicated. As one woman said, "I only go to church on Sundays; I'm just not like those churchy women. I'm more like a man." What happens when there's an ideal, and we aren't it?

  13. #72 Hope For Women Revisited

    We're talking about hope, Biblical hope. I probably need to start by telling you what hope isn't and then what it is. Biblical hope isn't about our circumstance, nor is it about having some Pollyanna optimistic attitude. In the Scriptures, we see that hope is about expectantly waiting and, many...

  14. # 71 Gracie, Laura, and boogers revisited

    Gracie. She lived down the road, came from an impoverished family, always wore the same clothes, short, high waters. She was one of the stops on our bus. There was something I liked about her, but I didn't want her to sit next to me. I'm ashamed to say it, but I was in the cool kid crowd, and I...

  15. #70 In Memory of Cameron

    Four years ago today, Steve and I were on the road, somewhere near Nashville, Tenn, when I received a call from Hampton. I will never forget the sound of my son's voice. He wailed, "Mom, Cameron killed himself." I was in shock, and suddenly it felt like I couldn't breathe. I don't even remember...

  16. #69 are you my Mother?

    I never wanted to be a mom and mothering didn’t come naturally to me. I had to discipline myself to be a good mom. So what does that mean?

  17. #68 On Mothering

    I never wanted to be a mother, but there I was pregnant living in a van.

  18. #67 “Lamenting the Theology of Silence”

    How could the message carry so much weight? The font read, “The beginning of wisdom is silence.” https://leadbold.ticketspice.com/inspired-to-lead www.themarcellaproject.com FB Group page https://www.facebook.com/groups/506760903334015

    Recently I had the privilege of answering three questions for the attendees at the Inspired To Lead conference. Here is what I had to say. www.leadingbold.org/events www.themarcellaproject.com

  21. #63 Man Enough? w/Nate Pyle

    One of the things I learned studying masculinity in America is that there are moments when the question, what does it mean to be a man, rises. It usually coincides with seismic shifts like the Industrial Revolution. Our discussion with Nate Pyles about his Book Man Enough and knew we needed to…

  22. #62 The Men We Long To Be w/Author Stephen Boyd

    Stephen Boyd, Professor of Religion and Public Engagement at Wake Forest, specializes in the history of Christianity and Christian thought, gender studies, and religion and public life. He’s authored multiple books on masculinity and what it means to be a man, and today we’ll be digging into his...

  23. #61 What Does It Mean To Be A Real Man?

    I have spent years studying the issue of masculinity in America. I have concluded that much of what we are taught is cultural, not biblical. Today let's go back to Jesus and ask him what it means to be a man who follows after you. How does your life help us understand what it means to be a real...

  24. #60 When Everything Is On Fire A Discussion With Brian Zahnd

    I’ve been on a spiritual journey of unlearning and relearning my Christian faith. So much of what Brian Zahnd writes gives words and comfort to me. I appreciate how he normalizes what many of us are going through. For those raised in the conservative evangelical world, unlearning and relearning…

  25. #59 Sheila Gregorie and The Great Sex Rescue Discussion

    Sex is such a complicated topic because it's so personal and vulnerable. Most of our parents didn't talk about it; culture is hypersexualized, our parents were quiet, and porn's the go-to for learning how to. And sadly, our faith communities aren't doing much better. Many of the messages we...

  26. #58 God Is Love: A Christmas Gift For You.

    It's been three years since we've gone home for Christmas to be with my extended family, Covid. You know. And I anticipate warm wood-burning fires and fabulous food. Cause we are all foodies. My younger siblings have young kids --- you know it's the kiddos that make Christmas; their excitement…

  27. #56 Advice For The Holidays From My Friend John's Funeral

    The holiday season is upon us. And many of you have shared your angst about what could happen around the table; there’s potential for explosive conversations that could harm the relationships. Or maybe for some of you, the time around the table is just, well, boring. No one ever really says...

  28. #55 Submission & Abuse, Oh My!

    Abraham and Sarah and Hagar is a crazy story from the Bible that pastors often use as biblical support for telling women to go back and submit to their abusive husbands. Does this familiar passage ask women to submit to their abusive husband’s authority? Hmm, well, perhaps it doesn’t. Are we…

  29. #54 Look For The Women

    I’m learning a new skill when reading the bible; it’s a skill teaching me to look for women. For example, I’ll ask my students to turn to a familiar passage like Luke 10, the story of Mary and Martha. And I ask them what they learned about this passage. Usually, they tell me it has something to…

  30. #51 A Word From The Divine

    It has been a year. A loooong year. More like two years. We might need to step away from all the madness and get a word from God. Just a word. Something God might want to say to you personally. So on today's podcast, I've asked my daughter to read to you, and through that reading, I pray the…

  31. #50 My Wrinkled Faith Is Beautiful!

    I have to be honest with you my faith looks different for me now. Some of the things I used to believe I don’t any longer, and I’m trying to figure out the complexities of how to love a mentally ill family member or hold on to hope when sexism continues to rain, not only in the culture but in our...

  32. #49 Escalator Faith Redo

    I’m older, and I’m looking back in my rearview mirror, where I see a more wrinkled faith. What I thought in my younger years, you know this escalator theology that would always go onward and upward, well we’re throwing stinking thinking out the window. Let’s revisit this topic, it’s that important.

  33. Hey You’re Physically Beautiful: Desire & Ableism

    I've sat with many married women who have this ache to be desired by their husbands, not just sexually but in all kinds of ways. And I've heard it from my single friends and my aging friends, who worry that they will become invisible in my kid's lives and my own life and marriage. And we've all...

  34. What Exactly Does Your Body, Image?

    I’m not against thin, sexy, young, or having babies. But that story isn’t big enough, complex enough to capture what it means to walk around in our bodies. I by no means have all the answers. What I do have are more important questions. Questions that go beyond, “Are my legs long, thin, or tan...

  35. #46 A Mother's Heart: Some Things Can't Be Fixed, They Can Only Be Carried.

    Today is June 29th. Three years ago today, Steve and I were on the road, somewhere near Nashville, Tenn, when I received a call from Hampton. I will never forget the sound of my son's voice. He wailed, "Mom, Cameron killed himself." I was in shock, and suddenly it felt like I couldn't breathe. I...

  36. #45 Body Image Part Five: Your Body Tells Me All About God

    Think about it for a second your physical body identifies who you come from? Now hold onto that because it sets us up for what God said in our creation story, “Let us make humans in our image, to be like ourselves, male and female.” So basically, God is saying the triune God put a splash of God...

  37. #44 Body Image Part Four: Men Respond

    I reached out to a bunch of guys, white male Christians between the ages of 35- 65, men who have been raised and served in the conservative evangelical church, pastors, preachers, worship leaders, lay leaders in our churches. I hope that this conversation will lead you to have a conversation with...

  38. #42 Body Image Part Two: Modest Is The Hottest!

    In today's episode of Jackie Always Unplugged, we're diving into what the church teaches us about the female body. And As I said, we should expect a better story than we get from Instagram or Tik Toc, or Netflix. Well - let me ask you? Do we? Take a moment and ponder, think back to Sunday school,...

  39. Body Image - Part One: I Don’t Want My Daughter To Hate Her Body.

    I think it's time we discuss our bodies. Yeah, I know a very painful subject. The pandemic hasn't helped. There's been zoom calls and covid pounds and bathing suit weather is around the corner. And no, this isn't a push for you to join some beach body program. What I want us to do is talk about…

  41. #40 "The Ideal Biblical Woman" Part Two

    In the last podcast, I spoke with Beth Allison Barr about her book, The Making of Biblical Womanhood. The premise behind the book is simple; biblical womanhood isn’t biblical. Beth argues it’s merely a disguise for promoting patriarchy and subjugating. So I want to share how the idea of biblical...

  42. #39 "The Ideal Biblical Woman" Part One

    Today we are talking with Dr. Beth Barr, author of The Making of Biblical Womanhood, which implies she is not God-designed but rather a human-idea. One of the things we pick up in evangelicalism is that Biblical womanhood is God's design. "It's right there in the bible," plain and simple. But in...

  44. #38 God’s Voice. It’s Risky Business! w/Tania Harris

    When I went back into counseling, I shared with my counselor that I struggled with how I was taught to see the Scriptures. I learned to read the bible through a particular lens, but that lens was no longer working. It was a lens that had developed from patriarchal and racist roots. My counselor...

  48. #36 Are You Silencing, You?

    Today we are continuing our three-part series on women’s voices. And as I spoke of in my last podcast, the truth is, as girls grow up to be women, they learn to talk less, they discover they are less listened to than their male counterparts. And over the years of pastoring, I’ve noticed that…

    Recently I was with extended family. We were talking about something, and one of the family members said to me, "We know you'll speak your voice." I can't even remember what he was referencing, and I'm not sure he meant it as a compliment, but I took it as one. I enthusiastically responded, "Yup…
