What if one of the earliest gospels, written around 70 AD, held a story of radical faith and feminine power the Church tried to bury? In this episode of Spirit Outspoken, we sit down with Wall Street Journal bestselling author Meggan Watterson to explore her groundbreaking book The Girl Who Baptized Herself and the hidden Gospel of Paul and Thecla.

Together, we uncover why this gospel was banned from the Bible, how Thecla’s story challenges patriarchal structures, and what it reveals about women’s leadership and spiritual authority in early Christianity. Meggan brings her deep scholarship and heart-centered wisdom to show how reclaiming these suppressed stories can transform how we see Jesus, faith, and ourselves.

If you’ve ever wondered what other voices were silenced in the shaping of Christianity, or longed for a spirituality that feels more authentic and inclusive - this conversation is for you.
