Woman Being

Healing, miracles, and supernatural encounters with the divine - all "normal" realities for anyone steeped in Charismatic Christian culture. The Woman Beings open up about their own history in the charismatic church, their past affiliations with Bethel, and how they reckon with those experiences in their deconstruction journeys now.

Get out your favorite liquor-soda combination, because it's another episode of Not Your Mom's Book Club! This week, the Woman Beings sit down to review Ecowomanism by Melanie L. Harris.

'Consent' can be a loaded topic of conversation, with many different perspectives weighing in on what it means and its level of importance. On one side of the extreme, 'consent' can be seen as irrelevant and un-sexy - reserved only for one night stands and hookup culture. On the other, it's considered supremely important and high stakes, and a necessary topic of conversation in all areas of life. The Woman Beings sit down to discuss the topic of consent, what it means (and what it doesn't), how it applies to our every day life, and why it's super, super sexy.
