All at Once
This is the All at Once podcast for women and those who love them. We are God’s image bearers exploring ways religion has been distorted to silence the marginalized and justify abuse. We are Christians, seeking to comfort, heal, and free people from the pain caused by our own religion. We carry much, like all of humanity, All at Once. To God be the glory.
Episodes
In this episode, Kelly shares her personal story as a survivor of childhood sexual assault. We hear about the messages she internalized as a girl growing up in the church and how they significantly impacted how she processed what happened to her. We hear the story of her experience reporting that assault as an adult, and about the judgment and shaming she received in the name of Christianity as a result of her decision to report.
...John 8 tells the story of the adulterous woman who Jesus defended. She stood shamed and condemned by her community. In this episode, we discuss how Jesus always moves toward the outcast to offer hope. He consistently moves away from those in power to be with the disempowered.
This episode explores the impact of puritan values, rigid thinking, and shame-based teaching in Christian culture. Our guest for this episode, Licensed Ma...
Submission is a loaded word; it carries a lot of weight. When we teach gender roles and marital hierarchy without clearly and directly addressing power abuse, emotional abuse, and manipulation, it is very dangerous. The rigid thinking we often see in Christian culture around the theology of submission creates a breeding ground for power abuse and the oppression of women. Unfortunately, there are many Christian communities that sy...

Laura Seifert joins us today! Christian culture has created a rigid way of thinking forcing us to choose one ideology and reject the other: Complementarianism or Egalitarianism. This is simply not true. It is okay to exist outside of either of the two camps, to take what we see as good and beneficial from each, and to form our own views.

When we silence a part of the Church, then the Church and the world will fail to see the fullness of who God is.
Laura Porterfield joins us today to discuss Proverbs 31 and how it has often been used to prescribe a gender role for women to faithfully morph themselves into. This kind of rigid thinking produces shame and the feeling of being deeply flawed when a woman doesn’t fit that mold.
As we look at the many examples of ...

Lifted out of context, this story is often told with implications about the woman’s sin and shame due to her presumed life choices. It is commonly used to demonstrate how Jesus will forgive anyone, even those with messy lives and deeply sinful pasts. Wendy draws our attention to contextual details that offer a dramatically different lens for interpretation. It be...

Pastor David Bridges grew up in the Quaker tradition where women have always been elevated to positions of leadership within the church. Quakers made the theological decision that women are equal to men long ago, and David says it always seemed natural to him that women should be in leadership in equality with men.
