Hello friends, welcome back to another episode of Theology in the Rom.

My guest today is Tiffany Bloom, who's the author of the recent book, Pray Tell, Why We

Silence Women, Who Tell the Truth and How Everyone Can Speak Up.

She also co-hosts the popular podcast called Why Though.

She speaks and writes at the intersection of women's issues and faith and has over 15

years of ministry and nonprofit experience.

We engage in a lively conversation around the abuse of power in the church, which is

part of her research that went into her recent book, Pray Tell.

So please welcome to the show for the first time.

We want her only.

Tiffany Bloom.

All right, hey Tiffany, welcome to Theology in the Rods, really good to know you for the

next hour or so.

Thanks for having me, Preston.

So we got connected to a mutual friend who had mad respect for and he's like, dude, you

have to have Tiffany on and like, all right, because I have mad respect for you.

I'm sure I'm going to enjoy this.

So this is our first time seeing each other on a screen.

You are doing a lot of really interesting work in the space of the, I would say, can I

say, massive problem of abuse in the church?

Not the abuse is only happening in the church.

It's kind of everywhere.
