A six-part series, including a newly recorded prologue and epilogue, exploring the life and ministry of theologian Molly T. Marshall, narrated by Erica Whitaker.

The podcast chronicles Molly's life, with its many twists and turns, and it features interviews and on-location recording with Molly and more than two dozen friends and colleagues. Born into a legacy of Baptist preachers on the frontier, Molly blazed her own trail across the 20th and 21st centuries. Molly forged a path for future generations of female ministers through her brilliance, wit, vulnerability, courage, and determination to follow God's call on her life.

"Brother Molly" begins with a prologue addressing Molly T. Marshall's resignation from Central Seminary ahead of her planned retirement.

In "Episode 1: Queen Regent," Molly grows up in the Southern Baptist church in Oklahoma, notices the power imbalance based on gender, senses a call to ministry, and heads off to college - with lots of questions.

Episode 1 (including all interviews contained therein) was produced prior to Marshall's resignation.

In "Episode 2: The Ohio River," Molly arrives at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, where she seeks answers to her burning questions about God and the church. She engages feminist theology, marries a doctor, becomes a pastor, and dreams of returning to teach at Southern.

Episode 2 (including all interviews contained therein) was produced prior to Marshall's resignation.

In "Episode 3: The Rocking Chair," Molly becomes a theology professor at her beloved school, but personal and professional upheaval force her to question the depths of her own Christian theology and belief.

Episode 3 (including all interviews contained therein) was produced prior to Marshall's resignation.

In "Episode 4: Troublesome Woman," Molly faces rejection from the school she loves - and finds friendship and spiritual solace in a Benedictine monastery.

Episode 4 (including all interviews contained therein) was produced prior to Marshall's resignation.
