Patriarchy is defined as a social structure characterized by male dominance and female oppression. The guys bow out for this episode so that Stephanie, Krystina, Sam and Lauren can freely discuss their experiences of patriarchy. Most of us unknowingly contribute to this social construct but there's a slow shift happening in how gender and sexuality are understood.

In part two of this series, Devin again sits down with his friend Paul Bergman who shares some of his thoughts on some Christian theology and how Jesus and love have led him to where he is today.

Devin sits down with his friend Paul Bergman who shares his incredible faith journey from playing professional sports to deconstructing faith while being a pastor at a local church.

Devin invited his friend Yen to join him and Stephanie for a conversation about defending marginalized people. Yen's own life experience on the margins has motivated his social justice advocacy efforts and he inspires us to do the same.

Ever been told "don't worry, just be happy?" All of our emotions are valuable, but many in faith communities are programmed to repress emotions like sadness and anger. Come listen as Devin explores the importance of expressing sadness with Krystina and Andy.

This week, Devin sits down with author and speaker Brit Barron to talk about her experience of growing up in the evangelical church and when, after becoming a pastor, she started to understand more about herself, her dreams and her sexuality.
