Meggan Watterson on Mary Magdalene, the Missing Gospel Pages & Finding Your People | Corey Kilgannon
Tuesday, 22 September, 2026

"It's not finding the one. It's finding the many." — Meggan WattersonFlorida folk singer-songwriter Corey Kilgannon returns to Podsongs (his first visit gave us "Lost Connections") to interview Harvard-trained feminist theologian Meggan Watterson, author of the Wall Street Journal bestseller Mary Magdalene Revealed and The Girl Who Baptized Herself. Corey arrives with an honest question about anger and what his role is in the feminist reckoning inside Christianity. Meggan answers with a different idea of power: one nobody can ever take from you. From the pages torn out of the Gospel of Mary, to the supper clubs that kept the early Christ movement alive under empire, to why the answer to our times isn't finding the one but finding the many. Singer-songwriter Jake Wesley Rogers drops in to sing. Meggan's call for "a new song, a new story" became Corey's new single, down to the Greek word she unpacks for him: nous, the spiritual eye of the heart.New single "Herstory" by Corey Kilgannon — out 2 October.
