Bonus Conversation: Deconstructing the Limitations of Women in the Church

Flipped Table Theology

This week, our team could not stay silent over the breaking headlines of the Southern Baptist Church voted to expel two churches for having female pastors. We decided to gather impromptu to share stories, hearts, and to challenge perspectives.

To all the women who pastor who are listening to this podcast, thank you for compassion you share, the leader you are, the preaching, the passion, and the fight you put up daily.
To all who are deconstructing, questioning, or not sure what to believe theologically, we hope these resources shine some light.

We hope you are able to find a safe, supportive community in your deconstructing because "no one deserves to deconstruct alone" as we mentioned during week 17. Our Flipped Table Theology Facebook group may be a starting place for you and we encourage anyone who is deconstructing or processing religious trauma to join.
