  • [ATBW] Episode 1 - George Orwell Warned Us About 1984
    Mar 13 2025
    In the debut episode of All the Buried Women, co-hosts Beth Allison Barr and Savannah Locke aim to uncover women’s stories hidden in the Southern Baptist Convention’s archives. The story begins in an unexpected place for a podcast about Southern Baptists: 4th-century Rome with Saint Fabiola. Because Fabiola challenged religious and societal norms, her story has become a safe harbor for women with similar experiences… even women in the SBC. Fast forward to 1984, where a pivotal moment in Kansas City, Missouri, changed the trajectory of women’s roles in the Southern Baptist Convention. There’s a reason Orwell warned us about 1984. Listen to Episode 1 to find out more. We reached out to the SBC, Paige Patterson, Darryl Gilyard, Tommy Gilmore, and the Council for National Policy for comment, and did not hear back.

  • [ATBW] Introducing All the Buried Women
    Mar 6 2025
    Savannah Locke introduces All the Buried Women, a compelling new miniseries that uncovers the hidden stories of women within the archives of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). What started as a small passion project grew into a year-and-a-half journey into the history of America’s largest Protestant denomination. Together, historian Beth Allison Barr and Savannah Locke are bringing to light the experiences of women silenced by their own denomination and the systemic forces that enabled their marginalization.

All Christians need to listen!

First time I've heard reconstruction outside of my own journey - loved it so much!

Combining Care, Caution, Complexity, and Scholarship in Bible Study

The hosts really have a heart to share the complexities of the Bible in a way that is open minded, scholarly, and nonjudgmental.

The first episode that I heard opened with an advertisement about gummies for micro dosing. At that point, I know that this podcast was going to be a bit different.

For years, I’ve been contemplating the complexities, oddities, history, and seemingly contradictions within the Bible, but it’s not until recently that I’ve found a community of people that are like minded.

I’m not here to promote atheism or blindly harmonize texts that don’t align with each other. I’m not extremely left or right on this issue. I just want to be honest with the text, and I believe God is okay with that.

In short, I’m just trying to make the best out of my experience while getting a deeper understanding of how the Bible and its wisdom, stories, and weirdness can help. This podcast is one of those tools for me.

So Helpful, So Informative!

Lots of different great topics & issues for Questioning Christians, Seekers investigating Christ's teachings & Christian Religion, Scholars, Educators, if you are at all spiritual or religious with Christian leanings or traditions. I'd also recommend it for ALL Pastors & Faith Leaders in the Church tradition. I guarantee you that there are people in your congregation who are or will be going through a "Faith Transition". I think a lot of the things discussed in this podcast should be brought up in church Bible studies, discussion groups, sermons, etc. When I found out that there are all of these books and resources discussed on this podcast and that no one in ANY of my Faith Communities had recommended them, preached on them, etc. I was kind of angry. I thought I was questioning Alone! But I'm not. I'm Deconstructing and Reconstructing with great authors and teachers and philosophers!

What a breath of fresh air & a little bit of peace during a so-called Crisis of Faith!!!
