Christian music + MAGA alignment isn’t “just politics” — it’s spiritual manipulation in a worship hoodie. This week, we’re talking Michael W. Smith, Matthew West, Brandon Lake, Natasha Owens, Gary Chapman, and what happens when faith chases power instead of Jesus. We also somehow open with books bound in human skin, because honestly… that tracks.

We're furious, heartbroken, and exhausted watching Christianity line up behind abuse, power, and cruelty. In this week's episode we talk about Mark Driscoll, MAGA theology, and how the church keeps calling harm “God’s will.” This one isn’t gentle—because what’s happening doesn’t deserve gentleness.

Paula White wants a “faith office” in the White House—what could possibly go wrong? We’re unpacking how Trump’s spiritual advisor helped rebrand political power as God’s plan, complete with wild claims, fear-based theology, and a very convenient donation pitch. If Christianity starts sounding like a campaign rally, it’s probably not Jesus. Consider this episode a table-flip.

We’re closing out 2025 exactly how we feel: exhausted, a little unhinged, and fully committed to pajama theology. In this episode, we reflect on our first full calendar year of the pod—our favorite moments, biggest laughs, top episodes, and the stats that made us go, “Wait… you all listened HOW much?” Come hang with us for a cozy year-end recap and a whole lot of sister energy.

Everyone loves Mrs. Claus—quiet, domestic, eternally supportive. In the first half of this episode, we break down how she became the perfect Victorian woman: stuck in the private sphere, doing all the work, and getting none of the credit. Then we get into Catherine Dickens, the real-life Mrs. Claus behind A Christmas Carol, and how Charles Dickens built a legacy while burning her reputation to the ground. Turns out the “ideal wife” only thrives in fiction—and even then, she’s exhausted.

She was a doctor.
A lawmaker.
A suffragist.
Oh, and she ran for office against her own husband... and won.

This week, Martha Hughes Cannon proves that women have always been the problem patriarchy couldn't solve. And she did it all 24 years before women could vote nationally. If that's not a Christmas miracle, what is?

We started this episode laughing about cars made of popsicle sticks and our collective inability to drive in snow… and somehow ended up deep in the catacombs with St. Lucy. Her story isn’t the sanitized candle-crown version we learned as kids—this woman defied an empire, ditched a fiancé who felt entitled to her life, and literally brought light into the darkest places. She fed the hungry, protected her people, and paid the ultimate price for choosing compassion over control. This week, we're reclaiming the woman who shaped Christmas while history tried to snuff her out.

Dear Men, every holiday season there’s that one moment—the joke, the shrug, the silence—where we’re reminded how quickly our voices get dismissed. If you want to be an ally, not just a “nice guy,” this is where you stop coasting. The women in your life are carrying more than you think, and we’re done pretending it doesn’t hurt. Listen to this episode, because if you’ve ever wondered how to truly have our backs… this is your roadmap.
