The Recovering God Podcast has been in existence since the summer of 2019. The team has changed over those years but we're delighted to still be offering relevant discussions covering the broad topics of feminism and the Christian faith!

Join us for this thought provoking discussion with Dr Katie Cross.

In this episode we discuss the unique challenges of being a woman in academia, why women especially suffer from imposter syndrome and many other topics too!

We're delighted that Katie could join us for this conversation - Katie is a lecturer in Pratical Theology at Aberdeen university, she describes herself as a feminist who is intersectional, keen to un-learn the systematic bias and privilege she encounters.

Katie can be contacted here:
