Why Modern Churches Are Pushing Women Out!

Millions of women are leaving church and people wonder why—but what if we're asking the wrong question? After the Southern Baptist Convention voted once again to ban women from serving as pastors, I realized something: maybe women aren't abandoning religion. Maybe patriarchal religions are quietly pushing women out. As a former Mormon (LDS), trad wife, and lifelong believer, I spent decades trying to become the "perfect" woman my church wanted me to be. Eventually I realized I wasn't leaving my faith...my church had been quietly quitting me for years. In this video I explore: • Why Gen Z women are leaving church at record rates • LDS culture and the Mormon lifestyle • Trad wife culture and the Ballerina Farm phenomenon • Purity culture and patriarchal religion • The Southern Baptist Convention's ban on women pastors • DARVO and how institutions blame women for leaving • Why feminism and Christianity continue to collide Whether you grew up Mormon, Baptist, Catholic, Evangelical, Jehovah's Witness, or another conservative faith tradition, I hope this conversation helps you feel a little less alone.
