For centuries, women were told their bodies were sinful, their intuition was dangerous, and their questions were rebellious. But what if rebellion is the path back to truth?

In this episode, we sit down with Crystal Dawn — feminine empowerment leader and pastor’s kid turned spiritual sovereignty advocate — to unravel the layers of Christianity through both a personal and historical lens. Together, we start asking the questions so many of us have buried for years. Whether you were raised in the church or not, chances are you've still felt the ripple effects of a patriarchal system that has shaped society, often through mistranslated doctrine and weaponized scripture. This conversation is about reclaiming truth, one question at a time.

🔥 This episode explores:

• Historical context of fear-based theology and Hell
• How religious trauma, shame and guilt still show up in our worth, and our voice
• The truth about Mary Magdalene’s erasure from the cannon
• How certain bible translations were used to uphold harmful systems
• Why scripture is weaponized against women's bodies
