Season 10, Episode 7: "I gave up, God won" with Rev. Carol Rawlings
What does it mean to be called when the world says you can’t? In this episode of The Collective Table Podcast, Rev. Carol Rawlings shares her powerful story as one of the first women pastors at Oceanside Sanctuary. With honesty and wisdom, she reflects on answering God's call in the face of resistance from a church not ready for her leadership. Hosts Jason, Jenell, and Claire explore the broader struggle of women in ministry—from Apostle Junia to modern clergywomen—unpacking themes of spiritual resilience, erasure, and sacred resistance. A must-listen for anyone interested in Christian feminism, calling, and the fight to be seen in sacred spaces.
