The Only God-Ordained Podcast on the Internet™
Join biblical scholars Pete Enns and Jared Byas as they guide you through reading the Bible without losing your mind, your faith, or your sense of humor.
With scholarly guest interviews, guided tours through biblical books, and the occasional existential crisis, you'll walk away with the tools to engage scripture critically, ask better questions, and realize that maybe—just maybe—the Bible is a lot weirder (and more interesting) than you were told in Sunday school.

All the Buried Women
Uncovering stories of women buried by their own denomination—the Southern Baptist Convention.
Hosted by Beth Allison Barr and Savannah Locke, All the Buried Women uncovers stories of women that are hidden in the Southern Baptist Convention’s archives. Why is the largest Protestant denomination in America (the SBC) increasingly restrictive towards women? When did this trend begin– or has it always been that way? Is this connected to the apparent trend of young women leaving church at high rates? What about Southern Baptist women who feel called to preach, teach, and pastor? What about abuse victims in the SBC?
In this podcast, Beth and Savannah shed light on these questions by uncovering stories of women buried by their own denomination and tracing the history of the increasingly monolithic Southern Baptist Convention.
