The Importance of Being a Feminist

It's an evangelical origin story.

Who are the evangelicals? It's a contested question with a long history of answers — answers that depend largely on who is holding the mic at any given time.

In this episode of the podcast, Katelyn and Roxy examine our own roles within the traditional gatekeeping institutions of evangelicalism and reflect on how we feel about them now. We are joined by Isaac B. Sharp for a tour of evangelicalism's defining decades and how the movement was shaped in part by who was kicked out.
