Are you a woman who loves Jesus but feels done with church as usual? You’re not alone. Across the U.S., Gen Z women are leaving church in unprecedented numbers — often while their faith and spiritual hunger remain very real.
In this episode of Perspectives with Catherine Toon, we explore the “quiet exodus” of women who are walking away from church culture, not from the God of Love. We’ll unpack why so many women feel unseen, over‑used, or spiritually unsafe in religious spaces — and what Love is saying in the middle of all of it.
Together we’ll look at:
- The growing gender gap: why Gen Z women are disengaging while many men are returning to church.
- How patriarchy, purity culture, and church politics have wounded women’s sense of value and belonging.
- The difference between Jesus’ way of honoring women and the control, shame, and performance often found in church systems.
- Why walking away from harmful spaces can be an act of wisdom, not rebellion — and how Love meets you there.
- What a truly Christ‑like, grace‑saturated community could look like for this generation of daughters, sisters, leaders, and friends.
If you’re tired of being told to “just submit,” “serve more,” or “stop overthinking,” this conversation is for you. Love is not threatened by your questions, your story, or your boundaries. Love is on your side.
