Unbezahlte Arbeit, Mental load und der Druck nach Normierung von Frauen geht auf Social Media weiter

We may think that since the election of President Trump, we are living in a post-woke world. But this is a mistake. Wokeness remains the prevailing worldview in secular culture. So how can Christians thoughtfully engage with the ongoing challenges of wokeness⎯ in the church and everyday life? How do we accurately define wokeness, and why does it remain influential? And how can believers respond with clarity, courage, and compassion? It's vital for us to be equipped with practical steps for conversations, parenting, workplace pressures, and loving our neighbors well. We must stand firm in the truth. Our guest today is Dr. Neil Shenvi, co-author of the book Post-Woke: Asserting a Biblical View of Race, Gender & Sexuality, which we will be discussing in today's conversation. Neil has an A.B. in chemistry from Princeton and a PhD in theoretical chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley. He worked as a research scientist at Yale University and Duke University and has published over thirty peer-reviewed scientific papers. In addition, his writings on critical theory have been published by the Journal of Christian Legal Thought, the Gospel Coalition, Ratio Christi, & the Liberty University Law Review, among others. Let's dive in!

Episode Highlights With JessicaWhat the gender health gap is and how this negatively impacts women The reason women weren't included.. It wasn't necessarily malicious, just assumed that the physiology was the same and just adjust based on height and weightWomen and men's physiology is very different and this impacts a lot in medicine and fitnessHow hormones come into play in fitnessWhy functional training is especially important for women and how to strength train in functional ways The importance of the time between age 40-60 that impacts things later in lifeHormones are chemical messengers and how to understand female hormones to train differently Her personal and clinical 80/20 that she suggests for biggest impact for womenResources MentionedDr. Jessica's websitePvolve workouts - Use code wellnessmama for 15% off (limited time)HiyaHiya created a super powered chewable vitamin for kids that packs twelve organic fruits and vegetables plus fifteen essential vitamins and minerals into every dose.

The wound between women is not just interpersonal. It is neurobiological, historical, and deeply rooted in systems that were designed to divide us. In this episode, Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristof are joined by Dr. Lovey Bradley, Msc.D., NSI certified practitioner, BrainBased facilitator, and facilitator of the NSI BIPOC Affinity Group, whose work sits at the intersection of female hormone health, nervous system regulation, and somatic approaches to trauma. Together, they go deep on one of the most underexplored dimensions of collective healing: the feminine wound, and specifically the racial fracture at its root. Lovey shares her own experience of dissociation in a predominantly white healing space during her NCAI certification, and what that revealed about epigenetic nervous system patterns that have nothing to do with individual will and everything to do with what our bodies have inherited and learned to expect. Jennifer and Elisabeth reflect honestly on their own experiences, including what it takes for white bodied women to pause, stop fixing, and actually listen without collapsing into shame or urgency. The conversation also traces the science behind why relational stress hits the female nervous system so hard, why oxytocin can amplify threat as much as it buffers it when relationships are unsafe, and how chronic cortisol dysregulation suppresses progesterone and drives the health outcomes so many women are navigating. Topic Include: Why the feminine wound cannot be fully healed without naming its racial roots How the nervous system adapts to chronic relational threat in female coded spaces What social baseline theory tells us about why disconnection between women is a physiological load, not just an emotional one How early experiences of exclusion, relational aggression, and peer victimization become nervous system prediction patterns in adulthood Why oxytocin amplifies relational stress when social environments are unsafe How high cortisol suppresses progesterone and drives inflammation, infertility, and hormonal dysregulation What it looks like for white bodied women to stay present without defaulting to shame, urgency, or over-repair Why healing within cultures must precede healing across them What a real path forward looks like, starting at the individual level Chapters 0:00 - Why Racial Trauma Is the Root We Are Not Talking About 1:05 - Welcome: The Feminine Wound Through a Nervous System Lens 3:48 - Introducing Dr. Lovey Bradley and Why This Conversation Matters 7:00 - How the Sister Wound Shows Up in Friendships, Workplaces, and Healing Spaces 10:21 - Dr. Lovey's Personal Story: Dissociating in a Predominantly White Healing Space 17:11 - Social Baseline Theory and the Neurobiology of Relational Disconnection 24:54 - The Historical Root: White Women, Racial Hierarchy, and the Fractured Sisterhood 27:26 - What It Takes for White Bodied Women to Listen Without Collapsing 34:14 - Colorism, Division Within Cultures, and Where Trust Has to Begin 43:08 - Early Developmental Roots: How Relational Threat Shapes the Nervous System 46:52 - Oxytocin, Cortisol, Progesterone, and the Female Hormone Connection 49:56 - A Path Forward: Building Trust One Relationship at a Time Ways to Engage with Neurosomatics: Neurosomatic Intelligence is now enrolling : https://neurosomaticintelligence.com/nsi-certification Join us for a two week trial of neurosomatic practices at rewiretrial.com Free BrainBased neurosomatic workshop for entrepreneurs at rewirecapacity.com Sacred Synapse: an educational YouTube channel founded by Jennifer Wallace that explores nervous system regulation, applied neuroscience, consciousness, and psychedelic preparation and integration through Neurosomatic Intelligence.  Wayfinder Journal: Track nervous system patterns and support preparation and integration through Neurosomatic Intelligence.

In a culture that often avoids or oversimplifies conversations about identity, "The Bisexual Deception" explores the narratives and spiritual pressures shaping our understanding of sexuality. Rather than reducing people to labels, this talk invites listeners to move past cultural confusion toward a place of clarity, nuance, and compassion. By examining how society influences our view of desire and identity, this conversation equips you to look beneath the surface, challenge prevailing assumptions, and respond to the world with both wisdom and empathy.

In this episode, I sit down with Ryan Malphrus, a licensed clinical social worker and therapist in private practice who works with adolescents and adults — particularly boys and men. Ryan spent 15 years working in level-five special education schools before transitioning to private practice, and he brings a grounded, refreshingly honest perspective on the struggles facing young men today.We dive into how boys communicate through behavior and aggression, and why the instinct to shut those impulses down often backfires. Ryan shares his own experience of internalizing societal messages that told him his natural masculine traits — his drive, his assertiveness, his sexuality — were problems to be managed rather than understood. We explore the red pill pipeline and "looksmaxxing" culture, and why young men are turning to these communities when therapy and education fail to speak to their actual needs.We also discuss the crisis of purpose facing men in modern society, why schools are not boy-friendly, the vital role of physical play and risk-taking in healthy development, and how parents — especially single moms — can learn to step back and let their sons work through conflict. We close with a conversation about differentiation: that psychological maturity that allows us to have feelings without being controlled by them, and how adults modeling that capacity gives children the room to develop it themselves.Ryan Malphrus is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Maryland and Connecticut providing individual psychotherapy to adolescents and adults. With over 10 years of experience, Ryan specializes in working with men and boys, offering a space to explore identity without judgment. His primary orientation is psychodynamic, and he is a board-certified clinical supervisor.

In this conversation, Liv sits down with Dakota Camacho to explore the importance of returning to our cultural roots and why reclaiming ancestral wisdom matters more than ever. Through the lens of CHamoru culture, they reflect on the wisdom of our elders, the values that shape our identity, and how our generation can reconnect to culture and carry these traditions forward.EPISODE TAKEAWAYSEmbracing our heritage helps us understand ourselves and our community more deeplyTraditional practices and language carry the wisdom of our ancestors and keep culture aliveCultural knowledge guiding activism strengthens community and supports collective healingArt, poetry, and music give us ways to share our stories and find healingA culturally connected future grows through community care and sustainable livingReconnecting with our roots can be a powerful journey that honors ancestral wisdomCONNECT WITH DAKOTADakota Camacho is a Matao/CHamoru artist born and raised in Coast Salish Territory who creates indigenizing processes through altar-making, movement, film, music, and prayer.

Today is International Women's Day, a day dedicated to celebrating the achievements of women around the world. In this week's episode of “Registered,” we speak with one of Iola's most esteemed women leaders, Mary Kay Heard. Heard has served Iola in a variety of roles. A former business owner, she currently is chairwoman of Iola Industries and on the hospital's community board. In the past, she has also served on Allen Community College's board of trustees, the Iola Public Library board, and was a key member of the fundraising group for Allen County Regional Hospital. In a wide-ranking conversation, Tim Stauffer talks with Heard about her own experiences, the progress women have made and what work remains to be done, and how we all benefit from a variety of voices at the table. Here's our conversation.

Working women are being encouraged to bill the Prime Minister directly for the money they're not getting due to the gender pay gap. The campaign launched today by the group STILL Minding the Gap is calling on the government to introduce mandatory gender and ethnic pay gap reporting for businesses. At the moment it's voluntary. The group said making it mandatory would shrink the gap between 20 and 40 percent. STILL Minding the Gap campaign manager Jo Cribb spoke to Lisa Owen.

Today on AOTA Shorts: On March 2nd, the Supreme Court issued a ruling, ostensibly from the Court's 6 conservative justices, that overturns a California policy which prevented educators from outing trans students, or students exploring their gender identity to their families without the student's consent. The case is admittedly complex, pitting parents' rights to be informed about their child, their right to free exercise of religion, and their right to equal protection of the laws, against the welfare of children and educators' own rights to free exercise of religion. Figuring out the right decision on this one is gonna be tough. But, one thing is certain, this Supreme Court, and the white supremacist, christian nationalist interests it represents, have no interest in protecting the well being of trans or nonbinary youth.

Gender parity remains one of the most important and widely discussed challenges facing the electronic music industry. While there has been meaningful progress in recent years, disparities in representation, opportunity and visibility across many areas of the sector continue to shape the experiences of artists and professionals alike.

In this International Women's Day episode, I explore something we talk about far less than the gender pay gap — the gender SAY gap. The gap between who speaks, who is heard, and whose voice is taken seriously. After more than 20 years working with women's voices, I see the same patterns over and over again — interruptions, ideas being overlooked, and women holding themselves back from speaking with full authority. In this episode I share: • What the gender SAY gap is • Why even confident women still experience it • The mindset shift that must come before any voice technique • Three practical ways to make your voice heard in meetings and conversations I also talk honestly about self-doubt, showing up when you don't feel like it, and why belief in your voice is the first step to changing anything.

Respectability on the Line: Gender, Race, and Labor along British and Colonial Indian Railways (U California Press, 2026) by Dr. Mattie Armstrong-Price offers a social and cultural history of railway labor in Britain and colonial India from the 1840s through World War I. The book treats the railway industry as a microcosm through which to study the history of capitalism in the liberal imperial era. Using company records, Dr. Armstrong-Price shows how executives shaped the domestic and working lives of higher-grade employees with an eye to cultivating their respectability. Meanwhile workers' writings reveal how railway towns provided opportunities for some employees to maintain non-heteronormative living arrangements. The book tracks these histories of everyday life while also outlining stories of early trade unionism. In Britain, railway unionists established benefit funds that mimicked company-sponsored provident funds, while in colonial India workers fought to gain access to company benefits on equal terms. This comparative study shows how industrial labor was made through conflict, subversion, and accommodation across an uneven imperial field. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

If you've ever wondered where your wheat flour is coming from, who is milling it (and how), or how it came to be such an important staple, then this episode might be for you. Dr. Rebecca Sharpless speaks with host Scott Catey about People of the Wheat: Culture and Cultivation in North Texas (U Texas Press, 2026). This book examines the history of wheat in the six counties of the North Texas wheat belt, and how wheat growing, milling, and baking shaped the people and culture there. In the national imaginary, America's amber fields of grain lie in the country's center, but for more than a century, they also grew across one pocket of the South: North Texas. From the 1840s to the 1970s, the state's agriculture, dominated in lore by cotton in the east and livestock in the open range, was heavily invested in the cultivation, processing, sale, and consumption of wheat. Recalling a forgotten history, Rebecca Sharpless shows how the rhythms of the wheat harvest—and the evolution of the milling, distribution, and baking industries—governed daily life in what is now known as the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex. In the 1840s, Anglo settlers discovered that grain flourished in North Texas and quickly built an economy that included wheat in fields, mills, and kitchens. After the Civil War, hand labor gave way to mechanization, greatly increasing production. Commercial bakeries churned out novel confections, and big cities were built on the bounty of the countryside. In the second half of the twentieth century, as production moved northward, industrial milling and baking declined, but home baking boomed, flour advertising supported regional music, and wheat fortunes financed the region's cultural life. Sharpless covers 150 years of wheat's very human history and shows how the labor that cultivated it, the sustenance it provided, and the prosperity it generated left an indelible mark on the people and institutions of Texas. Dr. Rebecca Sharpless is a Professor of History at Texas Christian University. She specializes in Gender & Sexuality, Texas History, and American History. She is the author of three previous books: Grain and Fire: A History of Baking in the American South (2022); Cooking in Other Women's Kitchens: Domestic Workers in the South, 1865-1960 (2010); and Fertile Ground, Narrow Choices: Women on Texas Cotton Farms, 1900-1940 (1999).

Respectability on the Line: Gender, Race, and Labor along British and Colonial Indian Railways (U California Press, 2026) by Dr. Mattie Armstrong-Price offers a social and cultural history of railway labor in Britain and colonial India from the 1840s through World War I. The book treats the railway industry as a microcosm through which to study the history of capitalism in the liberal imperial era. Using company records, Dr. Armstrong-Price shows how executives shaped the domestic and working lives of higher-grade employees with an eye to cultivating their respectability. Meanwhile workers' writings reveal how railway towns provided opportunities for some employees to maintain non-heteronormative living arrangements. The book tracks these histories of everyday life while also outlining stories of early trade unionism. In Britain, railway unionists established benefit funds that mimicked company-sponsored provident funds, while in colonial India workers fought to gain access to company benefits on equal terms. This comparative study shows how industrial labor was made through conflict, subversion, and accommodation across an uneven imperial field. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

If you've ever wondered where your wheat flour is coming from, who is milling it (and how), or how it came to be such an important staple, then this episode might be for you. Dr. Rebecca Sharpless speaks with host Scott Catey about People of the Wheat: Culture and Cultivation in North Texas (U Texas Press, 2026). This book examines the history of wheat in the six counties of the North Texas wheat belt, and how wheat growing, milling, and baking shaped the people and culture there. In the national imaginary, America's amber fields of grain lie in the country's center, but for more than a century, they also grew across one pocket of the South: North Texas. From the 1840s to the 1970s, the state's agriculture, dominated in lore by cotton in the east and livestock in the open range, was heavily invested in the cultivation, processing, sale, and consumption of wheat. Recalling a forgotten history, Rebecca Sharpless shows how the rhythms of the wheat harvest—and the evolution of the milling, distribution, and baking industries—governed daily life in what is now known as the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex. In the 1840s, Anglo settlers discovered that grain flourished in North Texas and quickly built an economy that included wheat in fields, mills, and kitchens. After the Civil War, hand labor gave way to mechanization, greatly increasing production. Commercial bakeries churned out novel confections, and big cities were built on the bounty of the countryside. In the second half of the twentieth century, as production moved northward, industrial milling and baking declined, but home baking boomed, flour advertising supported regional music, and wheat fortunes financed the region's cultural life. Sharpless covers 150 years of wheat's very human history and shows how the labor that cultivated it, the sustenance it provided, and the prosperity it generated left an indelible mark on the people and institutions of Texas. Dr. Rebecca Sharpless is a Professor of History at Texas Christian University. She specializes in Gender & Sexuality, Texas History, and American History. She is the author of three previous books: Grain and Fire: A History of Baking in the American South (2022); Cooking in Other Women's Kitchens: Domestic Workers in the South, 1865-1960 (2010); and Fertile Ground, Narrow Choices: Women on Texas Cotton Farms, 1900-1940 (1999).

Before culture defined us, before politics divided us, and before confusion entered the conversation, God created humanity in His image. In episode eight of "God's Image in Man", Duane Sheriff explores the profound mystery of being created in God's image as male and female.Because God is Spirit, His image is not defined by physical anatomy but by spiritual attributes expressed through both masculine and feminine qualities. Scripture reveals a God who is strong and protective, yet also nurturing, compassionate, and wise. These attributes find their fullest earthly expression when male and female come together in covenant marriage, reflecting God's image through unity, diversity, and fruitfulness.Understanding this reveals why marriage, gender, and the family are under such relentless attack. The cultural obsession with gender confusion is not merely social—it is a spiritual assault on the image of God itself. Today's confusion calls us back to Scripture, common sense, and God's original design. To understand who we are, we must first understand who God is—and how His image is revealed in us.Click for FREE offer ➡️ https://pastorduane.com/landing/gods-image-in-man

Sarah Posner sits down with New York Magazine senior writer Sarah Jones to unpack the accelerating assault on transgender rights in Kansas and beyond. They trace how a new Kansas law retroactively invalidating updated gender markers on driver's licenses fits into a broader, decades-long Christian right strategy—one that cloaks theological convictions in the language of “common sense” and “biology.” From spiritual warfare rhetoric in statehouses to Supreme Court signals about religious motivation, Posner and Jones explore how anti-trans legislation operates as both a wedge issue and a cornerstone of a hierarchical gender ideology rooted in patriarchy, biblical literalism, and political calculation. They connect these state-level efforts to federal actions under Trump—from executive orders to agency guidance on bathroom bans—and examine how figures like Pete Hegseth and his mentor Doug Wilson frame masculinity, authority, and power. The conversation widens to consider how anti-trans politics intersects with abortion criminalization, punitive theology, and the rise of pronatalism across MAGA and NatCon spaces. They analyze the confirmation hearing of Surgeon General nominee Casey Means, whose blend of anti–birth control rhetoric, “sacred fertility” language, and pseudoscientific wellness ideology has sparked backlash—even from Christian right influencers like Erick Erickson, who denounced her as dabbling in witchcraft. Posner and Jones probe the uneasy coalition between evangelical patriarchy and MAHA-style new age conspiracism, asking whether this radicalized right-wing alignment can outlast Trump—or simply mutate into something more extreme. The episode closes with Posner's Anti-Doom segment, highlighting federal judges—some Trump-appointed—who are forcefully pushing back against unlawful immigration enforcement, reminding listeners that the constitutional order still has defenders. Sarah Jones is an award-winning senior writer for New York Magazine, where she covers religion and national politics. She serves on the editorial board of Dissent Magazine, and was previously a staff writer for The New Republic. Her first book, Disposable: America's Contempt for the Underclass, is available now from Avid Reader Press.

You're listening to Burnt Toast. I'm Virginia Sole-Smith. Today my conversation is with the brilliant Savala Nolan. Savala is a writer, public speaker and professor at UC Berkeley. Her brand new book, Good Woman: A Reckoning is out now. Her first book, Don't Let It Get You Down: Essays on Race, Gender and the Body, was shortlisted for the William Saroyan Prize and celebrated as a “standout collection” by the New York Times. Savala's writing has been featured in Vogue, Harper's Magazine, the New York Times, NPR, TIME and more.I have a lot of conversations about bodies. I have a lot of conversations about gender. There is a lot that I thought I knew about race and bodies and gender in America. Reading Good Woman and talking to Savala blew my mind apart in ways that I'm still putting back together. This conversation is a must listen.

Emotional labor at work is one of the biggest invisible barriers holding women leaders back, and most have never even named it.As women in leadership, we often take on the invisible work of managing team emotions professionally: smoothing over conflicts, holding the team together, noticing what no one else does, and absorbing the stress of everyone around us. This invisible work takes real skill and real energy, but it rarely shows up in performance reviews or promotion conversations.In this episode, we unpack why emotional labor falls so unevenly on women leaders, what it is really costing you in terms of energy, visibility, and career advancement, and exactly how to lead with warmth and still protect yourself from burnout.You will also hear about a leader who was passed over for a VP role despite being the emotional backbone of her entire department, and how she shifted from carrying the load to leading sustainably without losing any of her warmth.01:48 --- What emotional labor actually is and how it goes far beyond the original definition04:12 --- How one leader was running two jobs and why she got passed over for VP06:30 --- The three real costs of unmanaged emotional labor: energy depletion, visibility gaps, and burnout09:15 --- Why you should not stop caring and how to lead strategically instead11:24 --- Gender socialization and the double bind women face with emotional caretaking12:45 --- Four practical moves to stop emotional labor from holding you backMENTIONED IN THIS EPISODEArlie Hochschild, The Managed Heart (1983) on emotional laborGoogle's Project Aristotle on psychological safety—Register for the Free Executive Presence for Women Masterclass: The 3 keys to Increase Authority and Influence, happening live on Thursday, August 8 at 12 PST.A replay will be available for those that register! https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJAkdOsrDItGdHchQv1BXFozsGRUjL74xlK#/registration —

RU385 TOBIAS WIGGINS & JESS JOSEPH ON CISTERIA! A PSYCHOANALYSIS AGAINST ANTI-TRANS PANICS: https://renderingunconscious.substack.com/p/ru385-tobias-wiggins-and-jess-joseph Rendering Unconscious welcomes Drs. Jess Joseph and Tobias Wiggins to the podcast! https://www.jessicajosephphd.net https://www.tobywiggins.com Rendering Unconscious episode 385. In this episode, I sat down with Tobias and Jess to discuss their special issue of Studies in Gender & Sexuality: “Cisteria!: A Psychoanalysis Against Anti-Trans Panics.” This issue is the first of its kind, bringing together twelve trans and gender-expansive authors (artists, clinicians, scholars, and writers across multiple geographies) to theorize cisteria. This is our reworked concept that flips the long history of psychoanalytic hysteria and examines how cis anxieties are projected onto trans lives at psychical, interpersonal, and political levels. The pieces in the special issue range from analytic essays to poetry, artwork/music, speculative theory, crossword puzzles, collage, and various irreverent riffs taking aim at transphobia through trans world making. https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/hsgs20/26/4 Be sure to check out the Introduction to the special issue “Cisteria!: A Psychoanalysis Against Anti-Trans Panics.” https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15240657.2025.2599019#d1e292 Link to their upcoming free event: Spring Meeting Pre-Conference Workshop: Cisteria!

In this episode of The Health Disparities Podcast, host Dr. Mary O'Connor talks with Angela Strain, Executive Director of We Care Jax. For over 30 years, this organization has connected uninsured and under-resourced neighbors to lifesaving specialty care.   Angela shares powerful patient stories and draws on years of experience to show what it takes to remove barriers, build trust, and create a safety net that truly helps people. She explains real-world obstacles like transportation, language barriers, and the financial burden of illness, and highlights community-driven solutions that help people get the care they need.   Angela and Dr. O'Connor discuss We Care Jax's approach and share stories from the patients they serve, exploring topics such as: Community health workers use persistence, trust, and cultural insight to uncover the real reasons behind missed appointments or labels like “non‑compliant.” Common specialty needs include cardiology, pulmonology, oncology, and advanced imaging, supported by a network of volunteer physicians. Transportation support, hotel stays, translation services, and food access function as essential parts of healthcare, not optional add‑ons. Florida's expansion of the Volunteer Provider Program and the urgent need for increased dental funding are highlighted as key policy issues. Peer‑to‑peer physician recruitment, strong hospital partnerships, and donor investment help sustain a model rooted in community trust. Angela also talks about the heart of her work: making sure every patient leaves with no medical debt, their dignity intact, and a real chance to heal. Her stories, including patients moving from homelessness to stable housing and from fear to treatment, show why compassionate, community-centered care is so important.   This episode is full of stories and insights for anyone working in health equity, community health, philanthropy, public health, or systems change.   Subscribe to hear more conversations about community-driven solutions, health equity, and efforts to eliminate disparities.

“All my life I have tried to be a good woman,” writes Savala Nolan. Being “good” meant not rocking the boat. It meant following the rules and fitting herself into the mold of duty, excellence, sacrifice, and hard work. But as a Black woman and mother navigating a world built for men, Nolan learned that the lessons of being good no longer fit her life. In her new book of essays “Good Woman: A Reckoning,” Nolan, an attorney who heads UC Berkeley Law's Thelton E. Henderson Center for Social Justice, blends history and memoir as she examines the confining expectations of womanhood. We talk to Nolan. Guests: Savala Nolan, executive director, Thelton E. Henderson Center for Social Justice, Berkeley Law; author, "Good Woman: A Reckoning," "Don't Let It Get You Down: Essays on Race, Gender, and the Body" Learn more about your ad choices.

In our new series, Real Talk, we will discover God's Word on real issues. The Bible does not shy away from these topics, and neither will we. We'll explore what Scripture says about marriage, identity, intimacy, family, relationships with sons and daughters, navigating sexual temptation and sexual identity, and walking through tough seasons—whether in marriage, in family, or as a single person.

Cassandra Welchlin, executive director of the Mississippi Black Women's Roundtable, says Mississippi still ranks at or near the worst in pay inequality for women compared to white men. That gap is even worse for Black women in the workforce. Mississippi's male-dominated Legislature has been loathe to address the disparity in any meaningful way.
