Lord Beer Me Strength: Recent Episodes
Lisa Harman and Mallory Jenkins
Welcome to lord beer me strength. This is the podcast where we ask God to beer us some strength. And then we use that strength to pray without ceasing, talk about beer, and digest the issues. Also sometimes we quote The Office for your edification and our enjoyment. Because we have freedom in Christ.
Our talk on the documentary "Shiny Happy People" looking at the life behind the curtain of the Duggar family continues in this deeper dive into why we think christian fundamentalism is at the root of the IBLP, as well as veins into christian churches worldwide.
Also, we get distracted at some points. -10 for Ravenclaw :(
There's a documentary out called "Shiny Happy People" and we've got some thoughts and feelings on it.
Leaving christian fundamentalism can be quite a lot to deal with on your own. If you'll be our body guard, we can be your long-lost pal in this journey we call healing. Why don't ya join in the conversation, and press play now?

So crack open a sparkling water and join us for whatever the heck this is!
In this, the second episode of season 2 of Lord, Beer Me Strength, Marge and Lisa flirt with existential crises and consider the limits of human wisdom.

Stay tuned for a very special blooper featuring a surprise guest appearance and Lisa’s embarrassing baby voice.
Just like Punxsutawney Phil, Marge and Lisa poke their heads out of their dwellings and re-emerge into the sunshine.

Season One wraps up with a special episode of movie review! That's right, join us as we finally sit down and pick apart The Princess Bride.

So unwrap a fresh bar of your favorite brand of soap, keep it close, and allow the cleansing aroma to scrub your brain clean while you bask in the dulcet tones of two formerly sheltered kids flexing their vocabularies, establishing forever what is and is not language-based sin, and refusing to give the f-word power by saying it out loud. Also, stay tuned till the end for a special cameo appearance from Acorn, the Harmans’ new cockatiel!
It's not. No one goes around saying, "Man, what's wrong with this alcohol world?" or "Who the alcohol do you think you are?" I mean, if they do they've probably had too much to drink, am I right?
Sidenote- Marge and Lisa try out some schmancy new mics, so give us grace as we work out the kinks please and thank you.
We got Jordan again! We’re wrapping up our conversation of mental health discrimination in the church, the importance of educating oneself, unleashing the freedom of speaking to trained professionals, and also some talk of actresses dead or alive. Thanks again to Jordan for a great conversation!

Listen with Lisa and I as a familiar face shares her mental health journey. We're still digging in to the heavy stuff this week and have plans to keep doing so in this ____ is Not a Bad Word series. You can expect to hear about the perils of people trying to fix people, a disordered mind, family, relationship with the church and God, but more importantly; an education and hope for something better. All to be told by the one and only Jordan Jenkins. (its my sister guyz)
In this week’s scandalous episode, Marge and Lisa narrowly avoid an explicit rating as they discuss the various ways the topic of sex was handled in their lives and Lisa’s unredeemable appreciation of polo season. Hide your children and break out your copy of Love and Respect so you can burn it one page at a time as you follow along on this journey of discovery and deconstruction we like to call, “Sex is Not a Bad Word”.
Episode 2 in the ____ is Not a Bad Word series.
Have a listen if you've never experienced the harm of fundamental ideologies regarding feminism.
If you have experienced such harms, please let us know! We'd like to believe we aren't crazy anymore.
Trigger Warning: Mentions of women’s rights, patriarchy, women, kindness, and scripture. Sexists advised.
We had so much fun with David that his episode had to be split into two! So go ahead and stuff your pods in and give a listen as we cast our angelic voices your way.

On this week’s episode of Lord, Beer Me Strength, we take a break from the series we just started because it’s our podcast and we can do what we want. Besides, we couldn’t pass up the chance to host the venerable Morgan Freeman on our little show. Morgan brings with him his good friend and fan of the podcast David Chris Rethemeyer, Jr. So crack the seal on that growler you have stashed in your fridge and join us as David shares his enviable knowledge of beer and God’s sustaining grace in this, the most epic eighth episode of any podcast ever.

We had so much fun with him that we had to split our time with him into not one, but TWO episodes. Yes, that's right dear listener, tune in next week for the part in which the beer started to set in and things started to get... interesting.
The beginning of the "_____ is Not a Bad Word" series!
We talk about our past and current understandings of the word and all its implicit meanings. We're still very much growing in our understanding of God in general. Plus like, in other ways. I dunno. I'm not good at writing descriptions; Lisa normally does this...
In that, we also have found the need to dissect some of the words that religion has had us cringing at in the past.
Come along on the journey of seeing God bigger with us, won't you?
It’s the Science Time with Lisa Guy! Celebrate 6 whole episodes with us by listening to Lisa attempt to feign knowledge in response to your questions for an hour, and maybe learn a sliver of her copious supply of knowledge pertaining to science. What a nerd. So crack open your “H” volume of World Book encyclopedias and follow along as Lisa and Marge struggle to be coherent after a long week of serving at Vacation Bible School!
Thanks to all who submitted questions! We have such fine and admirable listeners here at Lord Beer Me Strength- and would like to reward you with an epic die-cut sticker (for your edification and our enjoyment) that you may display on your drinking containers (that you will provide).
Email us your address to receive said sticker and a beautifully hand-written heart-felt letter from Lisa!

In todays’s episode, Mallory and Lisa go on a journey into the darkest recesses of our souls and neatly label them into one of 16 categories. So crack open a fresh bag of pretzels to go with your beer, get comfy, and be sure to listen all the way to the end to find out new and exciting verbal ways to trigger your favorite podcast hosts!
We had our first guest in the recording studio this week! She stopped by to tell us all about her recent week at church camp and eat all of Mallory’s sour gummy worms. She also happens to be my daughter. Check out the new episode fearing Ruthie Harman wherever podcasts are sold!
Thanks to Ruthie for being our first guest! May your massive beach ball fly as high as your dreams.
Tune in while Mallory shares what all happened after she was born at a very young age. As always, many "um's", digressions, THE question of the week, and random laughs occur in this thrilling episode. We pray the Lord will beer you some strength as you listen, cause we don't hold back here. It may be the end of this epic testimony-duology, but the journey has just begun for Lord Beer Me Strength! Whatever your story, whatever your struggle, remember the words of Meredith Palmer, "You’re not alone, sister. Let’s get a beer sometime."
Lisa shares her testimony, we discuss the importance of art, words of wisdom, and only take about 3 digressions this time. So grab yourself a drink and chillax while you listen to our amazing insights on life, the universe, and everything.
WARNING: This episode contains several instances of Lisa saying "you know" and we highly recommend taking a sip every time she does to prevent further occurrences.
There will be tons of surprises in this first, introductory episode of Lord, Beer Me Strength. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll probably wonder aloud about our well-being. Yes, we are ok. And now we’re even better, because we have a podcast.
Do you have a podcast? No. I didn’t think so.
Let us know if you have suggestions for future episodes! We may or may not take your suggestion. We kind of have a lot of our own. But we want you, the audience, to feel like you’re involved. It keeps you coming back. And that works toward our ultimate goal: world domination.
So drop us an email, or a tweet, or a DM, whatever the kids are calling it these days. Let us know what you think and maybe we’ll read it.
