Dinah's story is one of those Old Testament wild rides—tragic, infuriating, and somehow still relevant. We’re unpacking Genesis 34, where Jacob does the absolute least, Dinah’s brothers take justice into their own hands, and a certain man thinks "kidnap and assault" equals "love at first sight." Oh, and we found possibly the weirdest fictional retelling of this story ever written. If you've never heard of Dinah, you’re not alone—she's new to us too. Buckle up, because this one is morally grey at best.
Trigger warning for this one: we'll be dealing with themes of assault and violence.

This week’s episode is all about love in its many forms. From the messy journey of self-love to loving your neighbor (even when they’re the worst), to the joys and chaos of romance, we’re diving into what it really means to love and be loved. Expect heartfelt moments, plenty of laughs, and maybe a little tough love—because, let’s be real, some of y’all (and us) need to hear it.
Tune in, laugh with us, and remember: You are more than enough.

This week, we’re exploring the unfortunate world of The One Year Book of Devotions for Boys—and by that, we mean skimming, laughing, and asking the real questions like, “Why does this devotional need a two-part walrus saga?” It’s a bit of a wild ride—spazzy, unfocused, and full of tangents (because clearly, we’re thriving). From thrift-book bargains to passive moms and ambitious boys with career options like “pilot” or “pastor,” we’re unpacking the subliminal messages that shaped a generation of church kids. Grab your coffee (or scary murder book), and let’s do this before the breakdowns hit.

This week we're taking a break from the usual programming to check in—on us, on you, and on what faith looks like when leaders let us down. The Sunday Scaries is more than burnout; it’s about reclaiming spiritual health when walking into a church feels more terrifying than comforting.
-
What if everything you’ve been told about “biblical womanhood” missed the mark? This week, we're looking at complementarian versus egalitarian viewpoints—are women too strong? Too weak? Too much? Too little? Priscilla, one of Paul’s co-workers and a fearless leader in the early church, didn’t seem to struggle with any of that nonsense. She taught, she led, and she might have even written the book of Hebrews. So, why are we still stuck in the middle?
-
We're digging into Danae Dobson’s Let’s Talk... again, and wow—it’s a lot. From telling girls to tone down their personalities to teaching that courtship is just a prelude to being “married off,” this book is a time capsule of bad advice. And the “Let’s Talk About Boys” chapter? Let's just say that a chapter interviewing teenage boys about what they find attractive in girls is as gross and shallow as you’d expect. Why were we all told to be less and look perfect just to be “worthy”?
If you grew up reading this book or anything like it, you’ll want to tune in. We have so so very many thoughts.

Let’s be honest: devotionals for "Christian Girls" are painful. This week, we're talking about a book from our youth, which isn’t just outdated—it’s a masterclass in teaching girls to feel small, ashamed, and silent. We’re unpacking the purity culture, body shaming, and impossible standards it peddles. This is just the first in a series, and trust us, we’re not holding back. Women, if you're ready to see yourselves as worth more to God than you ever thought possible, hit play—this one’s for you.

Ever prayed as a kid for a miraculous snowstorm—just to skip church? Been there. In this episode, we're talking about growing up in ultra-conservative churches, complete with boring devotionals and the same sermons over and over. Alyssa dishes on her “perfect Christian girl” phase—spoiler alert: it didn’t age well—and Bri shares how being single in the church sometimes feels like wearing a neon “unworthy” sign. If you’ve ever wondered how to unlearn the toxic churchy stuff while keeping the faith, this episode is for you. Press play and let’s dive into the mess together.
-
Today, we’re talking about Mary at the wedding in Cana and the audacious faith it takes to ask Jesus for a miracle—even when he seems to brush her off. The wine’s running out, the party’s about to flop, and Mary’s like, “Hey Jesus, do your thing.” His response? Basically, “Not my problem.” But Mary doesn’t even flinch—she just tells the servants, “Do whatever he says,” and boom, miracle time. Join us as we dive into this how her belief sparked Jesus’s first miracle and what it teaches women about strength, leadership, and maybe even a little holy side-eye.

When you picture Mary, the mother of Jesus, is she draped in blue, head bowed, the epitome of quiet submission? That’s the image art and tradition have sold us—but Mary was so much more. She was fierce. She was resilient. She was a leader—one whose husband submitted to her. This week, we’re taking a sledgehammer to the demure Mary trope and uncovering the incredible woman behind the blue veil. Want to know what strength really looks like? Hit play.
-
Alright, gather 'round, because we're talking Mary, the OG mother of Jesus (or MMOJ as the cool kids call her). Most Christmas services say, "Let's start at Luke 2, no need to go any further back." But not us, we're going all the way back to Luke 1 to see Mary make her big debut. And let us tell you, this teenager was way more than just some demure figure in a painting. Mary was the real deal - relatable and struggling with that whole "Hey, you're pregnant" news from the angel Gabriel. So let's ditch the caricatures and get to know the actual Mary. Grab your iced coffee or glass of wine, and let's dive into the story of one of the most iconic women in the Bible.

The holiday season: a time for joy… so we're told. Between gift lists, family gatherings, and endless to-dos, how do you hold onto that deep, lasting joy we’ve been told we're supposed to feel? In this episode, we’re talking about finding joy in the chaos and stress of the holidays. With a little help from Scripture (and maybe a laugh or two), we’re unpacking what it means to protect your peace and find some joy—because if Jesus talked about it, it’s probably worth a shot.

Picture this: the turkey’s still frozen, your aunts are already arguing about the mashed potatoes, and someone just brought up politics at the table. Sound familiar? We’re diving into all the chaos that comes with Thanksgiving – from setting boundaries that actually stick to finding real gratitude (even when it’s hard). Grab a slice of pumpkin pie and join us, because this year, we’re all about thankfulness and maybe even a little peace... in theory.
-
Thanksgiving is here, and so is the family drama buffet. But what if setting boundaries wasn’t just a self-care trend but something Jesus himself modeled? In this episode, we talk about why saying "no" to the guilt trip and the extra helping of stress might actually be Biblical. Whether it’s dodging awkward questions at the table or stepping away from toxic traditions, we’re here to remind you: even Jesus didn’t cater to everyone’s expectations. Let’s carve up some boundaries—just like the turkey!

Frankly, this episode got deleted in a haze of computer programs, migraines, and more than a few angry shouts into the void. But it's back, and better than ever! Probably. Anyway, listen in as we talk about learning to be still and protect yourself, even when you've been told to turn the other cheek.

Dating: Why is it such a nightmare for so many women? Whether it's safety concerns, boys looking for a mom-replacement, or pictures no one wants to see, women have dating rough. In episode 30, Bri is going to share her real-life experiences with online dating, screenshots and all. Then we'll ask some hard questions about our "Christian Dating" upbringing, including courting, kissing dating goodbye, and purity retreats. Is there a "right" way for Christian women to date? Should we have to lower our standards? As we tackle these big questions, we’ll also share a few laughs over the cringe-worthy messages Bri has saved. Single women, married women, happily never-want-to-be-married women, this one's for all of us!

Buckle up, witches! This Halloween, we’re diving broom-first into Salem’s dark history—but with a twist. We're here to mix some laughs and spooky singalongs with a fresh look at Salem’s so-called witches, who, honestly, deserve a lot more respect than the history books give. Think of them less as villains and more as martyrs caught in a real-life witch hunt. So light a candle, grab your cauldron, and prepare for a bit of history that’s a far cry from your favorite witchy flicks—because this story’s got more fire than even the Sanderson sisters could conjure.
-
In episode 28, we’re getting real about people-pleasing, passive partners, and why setting boundaries can feel like a full-time job. From dealing with someone else’s baggage to being the go-to for everyone’s responsibilities, women have been raised to keep the peace—but should we? We're diving into the story of Mary and Martha, and asking: Did Jesus really expect Christian women to handle all the day-to-day stuff? Plus, we’ll spill on our own people-pleasing misadventures. It’s an honest, relatable convo that just might hit close to home!

Welcome to the latest episode of the We Are More Podcast, where we navigate faith and latest Feminist TikTok trends—all while Alyssa battles a 'plague!' Join us in our bubblegum pink room as we react to our favorite videos and quotes. We delve into societal expectations, Pride and Prejudice, and the boxes we put "masculinity" and "femininity" into. Get comfy, grab a glass of wine, laugh, and engage with some serious (ish) conversations about respecting women and reclaiming space. Tune in for thought-provoking quotes, hilarious commentary, and our unapologetic voices!

In this episode, we wrap up Bathsheba’s story and dive deeper into the broader narrative of women in the Bible. Bathsheba's story is one of resilience, strength, and the impact of her legacy. But she isn’t the only woman in the Bible whose voice has been overlooked or misunderstood. From Queen Vashti's defiance to the tragedy of Tamar, there are countless women whose stories have shaped history, faith, and the role of women in the world today. We’ll explore why it's important to tell these stories and discuss the significance of hearing “she” and “her” from the pulpit. Representation, even in scripture, matters. So today, we ask—what does it mean for us now, and how do we carry these stories forward? Join us as we reflect on the lessons these women teach us and why their voices deserve to be heard just as loudly as the Davids and Josephs of the Bible.
