Summary

Guest Info/Bio:This week’s guest is Sarah Stankorb! Sarah is the author of the book Disobedient Women, which is a culmination of years reporting on women who used the internet to call out abuse within their evangelical communities. It is a book for and about people of faith and those who have walked away. The deeply researched work gives long-overdue recognition to the women who upturned their lives to speak out boldly, even as they were expected to submit and remain silent. Sarah’s articles and essays have appeared in publications including The Washington Post Magazine, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Vogue, Marie Claire, Glamour, O Magazine, Longreads, Catapult, Slate, The Guardian, The Atlantic, The Atavist, CNNMoney, GOOD Magazine, Salon, KIWI, Babble, Geez, The Morning News, DAME Magazine, The Christian Science Monitor, Brain, Child Magazine, Proto, Skirt, Bethesda Magazine, and Cincinnati Magazine. Her beat spans politics, the environment, health, technology, religion and cultural commentary. Guest (select) publications: Disobedient Women: How a Small Group of Faithful Women Exposed Abuse, Brought Down Powerful Pastors, and Ignited an Evangelical Reckoning.

0:00.0	Welcome to the deconstructions. I'm your podcast host. I am John Williamson, and we are getting down to the end of this season. So this is part two of my interview with Sarah Stancorp.
0:24.1	She's the author of the book Disobedient Women.
0:27.1	It's a culmination of years of reporting on women who use the internet to call out abuse
0:31.5	within their evangelical communities for a lot of people who just didn't have a voice before.
0:38.6	And so extremely important book and extremely important research and project that went into this.
0:46.9	So really had a great conversation with her about it.
0:49.7	You can see Sarah's articles and essays that have appeared all over the place,
1:05.8	including the Washington Post Magazine, the New York Times, Washington Post, Vogue, Mary Claire, Glamour O Magazine, Slate, The Guardian, the Atlantic, just tons.

1:36.3	the transcripts up on the website. So if you want to follow along in written form, that you can
1:41.1	do so as well. And in general, we've been working on trying to get transcripts put together
1:46.1	as that's something that people have asked for for years.
1:49.0	And we just didn't have the technology then.
1:51.8	But we do now.
1:52.9	So we'll hopefully have that up there as well.
1:56.3	Beyond that, go to our website, www.
1:58.5	The Deconstructionist plural.com with an S on the end there.
