At Last She Said It

Honest Conversations About Faith, Church, and Everything in Between

De: Susan Hinckley, Cynthia Winward

Narrado por: Susan Hinckley, Cynthia Winward

“Women of faith, discussing complicated things.” That’s how authors Susan Hinckley and Cynthia Winward describe At Last She Said It, and they don’t expect the knots to untangle themselves. Even with two very different personalities and a decade or so between them, as their friendship developed they kept stumbling onto what felt like an uncanny amount of common ground in their church experiences. Often their conversations ended with, “Why isn’t anyone talking about this? Someone should do a podcast!” So they did. They had a hunch they weren’t the only women wishing they had a place to discuss the things they were thinking about, a lot of which they’d never said—or heard—out loud. That hunch was right. Their 200-and-counting recorded conversations have been downloaded some two million times. Hinckley and Winward have learned, right along with their listeners, that there’s no power quite like finding out you’re not alone.

Their book now asks Latter-day Saints to think about old ideas in new ways. Stretching can be uncomfortable, but the willingness to consider diverse perspectives—even on the things we hold most dear—feels essential in an evolving world. So does being open to changing our minds, including how we think about ourselves. Faith is alive when it’s growing, and growing means change. Hopefully, these conversations will be the beginning of thousands more.

At last they say alllll the things out loud

Susan and Cynthia give voice to the voiceless, empower the powerless, and call out the unrighteous dominion we have mistakenly viewed as God ordained. Thank you for having the hard conversations, admitting the itchiness of so many traditions and norms, and helping so many to know we are not alone.

Excellent thinking on troubling theological issues.

Love the practical application of real lived examples found in the sometimes troubling theology of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints/the Mormons. No one has to feel alone in their struggle to define their relationship to a God that certainly has love and grace enough for all of us. Beautifully written, at times painful and funny, Susan and Cynthia show us with their writing why so many people feel safe in sharing their faith journeys with them. Highly recommend to anyone feeling like their faith has to look a certain way.
