HAPPENINGS: Can Cancel Culture be Canceled?
Cancel culture (or call-out culture) is a modern form of ostracism in which someone is thrust out of social or professional circles—whether it be online, on social media, or in person. Those who are subject to this ostracism are said to have been "canceled.”
But is this constructive? Have we overcorrected? Should we be canceling voices or attempting to educate them?
That is the question. -
DECONSTRUCTION: What Purity Culture Gets Wrong
In another episode inspired by TikTok content, this week we’re talking about purity culture: What it is, our experiences with it, what it gets wrong…and does it get anything right? Why are Christians so obsessed with sex, anyway?

Romantic Relationships During a Pandemic
They say you only know who your partner is when you’ve gone through the worst of times with them. We can safely say an international pandemic is one of the absolute worst of times.
Some relationships are thriving. Some are crumbling. Some are taking it day by day and not placing judgment on how each member of a relationship are dealing with it. But one question’s for sure: How the hell are we making it at all (or not….)?
This week, Brittany is celebrating her 14th wedding anniversary and her own relationship is top of mind. We’re talking through what the news is saying and what we’re experiencing in episode 31, live now. -
Jesus, Santa, or You: Who the hell is Christmas about anyway?
Hi, hello, Holidays, weren’t you here just 3 months ago?
WHAT A WASH this year has been. Now that Christmas is upon us once again, this week we’re diving into our religious family traditions growing up and what our traditions look like now—if at all. We also weigh in on the objectively best Christmas song and if you disagree with us you just can’t because, like we said, it’s OBJECTIVE.
Take a trip down Christmas Candy Cane Memory Lane with us as these 2 Grinches reminisce and try to find our holiday spirit. Where the actual hell are you, Christmas? Faith Hill, Cindy Lou Who, and WE would like to know. -
What the hell we’ve been up to while on hiatus…and thoughts on the world
It’s been 6 weeks since we’ve talked at you, and boy has a lot happened. On our 29th episode, Brittany and Tiffany are filling you in on why we went mum for a bit, plus sharing our thoughts on the world’s most powerful women ( the VP elect and Bachelorette, of course).
It’s good to be back. Let’s keep making some hell.

Because We Aren’t Automatons
While I haven’t had a chance to listen to every episode, #24, #25, and #26 are pivotal. All applause to Brittany and Tiffany on having these brave conversations!! The podcast is worth every minute of your time to listen, especially if you were raised in a similar fashion or are better trying to understand someone who was.
Relatedly, as far back as I can remember, there was such a push to know Jesus that what I think I want to say is that I’m really the most sad about not knowing my parents. Or really anyone closely, in the AG, which to a great extent carried over into all of life. Now that I’m an adult, I can see that the culture failed us, which makes it a little easier to humanize my pastor parents, whom I still know nothing of substance about. For them to have had any friends would have been an invite into transparency, a welcome to be vulnerable before others. But they had to appear perfect... 100% without “sin” at all costs, and consequently lived isolated, without admitting it. How formidable... Bubbles living within bubbles, even hiding their true selves from their kids. Everything was and is a secret. There is only absolute truth and feelings don’t matter, especially feelings resulting from “confused childrens’ questions.” There are other things that never added up for me. Apart from the cultural legalism, it never made sense to me why the push to “tell somebody about Jesus” was never something I saw lived out practically. In high school, I remember once asking my mom about this and the reply was that pastors equip and outside the church, lay people spread the gospel. Seemed like a very comfortable way to keep away from the awkward. But then there was always an answer for everything in the spiritual realm, just no questions allowed about the real world. Granted, how could they have answered since they knew nothing about it?! If I had a dollar for every time I heard “that” or “he” or “she” is of the devil. As well intended as the trepidatious teachings and misguided concerns may have been, I’m afraid a lot of it was brainwashing.
God is love. Whatever that truly amounts to, I know it is not behaviorism steeped in fear of damnation.
YAZ to ALL THIS!!!!
Loving hearing these ladies chat about the real deal on a wide array of fun topics. Especially good was the episode on birth control-with reviews, side effects, laughter and more. It’s refreshing to feel like you’re part of the conversation!
