Flipped Table Theology
A weekly conversation centered around flipping tables of oppression, injustice, privilege, division, and religion as acts of faith and worship. Our team of hosts' varied lived experiences and perspectives will catalyze deep, challenging discussions that we hope will serve as the starting point for conversations in listeners' lives.

Bonus Conversation: Deconstructing the Limitations of Women in the Church
This week, our team could not stay silent over the breaking headlines of the Southern Baptist Church voted to expel two churches for having female pastors. We decided to gather impromptu to share stories, hearts, and to challenge perspectives.

To all the women who pastor who are listening to this podcast, thank you for compassion you share, the leader you are, the preaching, the passion, and the fight you put up daily.
To all who are deconstructing, questioning, or not sure what to believe theologically, we hope these resources shine some light.
We hope you are able to find a safe, supportive community in your deconstructing because "no one deserves to deconstruct alone" as we mentioned during week 17. We are moving our Flipped Table Theology Facebook group to a group on BAND to give people a way to connect outside of mainline social media platforms. Connect this discussion group for a place to create connections and conversations.
