In this episode, Honest Am opens up about walking away from corporate America to pursue creativity, faith, and a deeper spiritual calling.

From there, the conversation turns to one of the most misunderstood women in Christian history: Mary Magdalene.

Was she really the sinner tradition made her out to be? Or was her story reshaped over time?

Honest Am explores how patriarchal narratives reframed Mary’s legacy and examines insights from the Gospel of Mary — a text that presents her as a spiritual leader with profound theological insight.

This episode dives into:

* The origins of the “prostitute” narrative

* The nature of sin and spiritual authority

* Why questioning inherited beliefs is not rebellion — it’s discernment

* What Mary Magdalene’s story teaches us about trusting our own relationship with the divine

If you’ve ever felt called to question what you were taught, this conversation is for you.
