How did a former youth group minister - mine nonetheless - find her place in the Church and how did that change since she has kids? I am ecstatic to welcome Tara to the podcast to be as candid and she has always been about the eucharist, sex and being kind.

We are shifting our focus this week to talk to a Christian woman who is finding her faith and working on her relationship with God. She has never previously taken on a gendered perspective as the most important lens, so this episode is a refreshing change in perspective where we read the bible as a child of God first, rather than a feminist. 

Today we talk with Abby, a Catholic woman who strictly follows the doctrine of the Church. To her, Mary is an inspirational figure, who though she can never reach that perfection, is someone she can look to for comfort and guidance. We get her perspective on the redemption of Eve.

Welcome to the first episode! The first religion we are exploring in this podcast is Catholicism with a three part series. In this episode we talk to Kelly and Christina, long time friends of mine who were raised Catholic, went to a ~liberal~ all girls catholic school, but don't necessarily agree with the entire doctrine of the church - prop 8 anyone?

Season One asks the question, how does religion influence the way we see ourselves as women? Raised Catholic, our host wants to better understand how women have found their place in both the Catholic Church and other churches and faiths.
