This week, our team could not stay silent over the breaking headlines of the Southern Baptist Church voted to expel two churches for having female pastors. We decided to gather impromptu to share stories, hearts, and to challenge perspectives.

The NPR visit that is referenced in the podcast can be found here.

Below is a list of our recommended books and resources.
1. 10 Lies the Church Tells Women - J. Lee Grady
2. What Paul Really Said About Women - John T. Bristow
3. Not Counting Women and Children - Megan McKenna
4. The Making of Biblical Womanhood -Beth Allison Barr
5. The Truth sets Women Free - J. Lee Grady
6. Equal to Serve - Gretchen Gaebelein Hull
7. Beyond Sex Roles- Gilbert Bilezikian

To all the women who pastor who are listening to this podcast, thank you for compassion you share, the leader you are, the preaching, the passion, and the fight you put up daily. 

To all who are deconstructing, questioning, or not sure what to believe theologically, we hope these resources shine some light.  

We hope you are able to find a safe, supportive community in your deconstructing because "no one deserves to deconstruct alone" as we mentioned during week 17. Our Flipped Table Theology Facebook group may be a starting place for you and we encourage anyone who is deconstructing or processing religious trauma to join.

The Flipped Table Theology Podcast is a production of The Flipped Table Collective. You can explore all of the resources, classes, events, and trainings that the Flipped Table Collective has to offer at www.flippedtablecollective.com.
