Chapter 3, Episode 10
TW: suicide and depression
In this raw and eye-opening episode, Amanda shares her personal journey of being overwhelmed by the pressures of ministry, leading a mom's group, and trying to embody the ideal Proverbs 31 wife and mother. This relentless pursuit of perfection led her down a dark and dangerous path.
Together, the ladies dissect how the church's expectations and the pressure to be the "perfect" Christian woman can push women to their breaking point. They discuss the unrealistic standards that are often placed on women, the emotional toll of constant striving, and how these pressures are deeply rooted in the systemic oppression of women within the evangelical church.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone who has ever felt crushed by the weight of expectations or who wants to better understand the often-hidden struggles of women in the church. The conversation is both heart-wrenching and empowering as the ladies explore paths to healing and reclaiming one's identity beyond the walls of the church.
