In this episode, Emily chats with the women behind the podcast Sh*tty Pastor’s Wives, Charli and Jenny about the unrealistic expectations placed on women in white evangelicalism as wives and mothers. They discuss how their own childhoods shaped their experiences as adult women in the church and the steps they took to eventually free themselves from the very small cage that is “biblical womanhood.” To hear more from Charli and Jenny, you can listen to their podcast Sh*tty Pastor’s Wives wherever you listen to podcasts.
