Something is happening among evangelical women — and it's reshaping the American religious landscape.
In this conversation, I sit down with Abigail Favale — Catholic convert, professor at Notre Dame, and author of The Genesis of Gender — to talk about why a growing number of evangelical women are finding their way to Catholicism.
We get into:
- Why the Catholic view of the female body feels more pro-woman than it looks from the outside
- How Protestant fragmentation over sexuality is pushing serious believers to seek something more stable
- The surprising connection between birth control skepticism and Catholic teaching
- What "incarnational" worship offers in a screen-saturated, disembodied age
- The difference between Catholic feminism and feminist Catholicism — and why it matters
Whether you're evangelical, Catholic, somewhere in between, or just curious about where women's faith is heading — this conversation will give you a lot to think about.
