Summary

There are probably as many versions of a feminist awakening as there are feminists. Some have always felt aware of the disparity between men's and women's experiences and opportunities. For others, the awareness has come more recently. Either way, it's hard to shake the unsettling realizations once we begin to see through a feminist lens at church. For this episode, Cynthia and Susan asked listeners to talk about their personal feminist journeys. Do you think about things today the same way you did 5 or 10 years ago? If not, what has led you to see things differently? And what are the implications for your faith life going forward?

0:52.1	talking all week about this episode we keep saying to each
0:57.8	other did you go listen to that voicemail have you heard this one did you listen to
1:01.9	voicemail 150 yet and we did get a lot. We got a lot. But some of them brought up points I hadn't even thought of and that's actually what I love about this episode is how we are such
1:15.7	individuals.
1:16.7	Yes, that's what I was going to say.

1:34.5	You know, for some they've always been aware of a disparity between men and women's
