About Bold Café

Café is an online magazine and podcast for and with young adult women who identify as Lutheran or not.

Café shares stories written by bold young women who write about faith, relationships, advocacy and more. Readers and writers of Café include pastors, seminary and college students, and other young adult women who use Café as a Bible study resource individually or with a group.

Although many women in their 20s and 30s contribute in every issue, Café can be used and shared by women of all ages.
