You are Worthy | (S5 E7)
In this episode, Tilly and Abigail talk about self-worth and women. When people repeat the message "you are worthy" to women, citing this as the reason why Christ came and died for them, what are they trying to do? What is the proper kind of self-worth, self-esteem, self-regard? Is that even the right question? What is it about women that make us feel like we need to tell them about their worth?
Bonus: Abigail gives an honest review of the Bosch oven, which may lock itself and refuse to talk to you.
