  • Thoughtful, informative, and interesting!

    I appreciate The Alabaster Jar because it is so different from other Christian podcasts for women. Smart, educated women chat and interview other smart, educated women about amazing, often overlooked women in the Bible and early church. I was lucky enough to take a course on NT women from Dr. Lynn Cohick, and I love that I can continue to learn from her on this podcast. I always end my time here feeling informed, encouraged, and seen.

  • Thank you Dr Cohick!

    I met Dr Cohick at Kerygma this year and my eyes have been opened to the woman’s role in church leadership. I had no idea and honestly, looked down on women in leadership roles in the church. But God has been teaching me & “expanding my territory” in unfathomable ways. Thank you for your faithfulness & honesty in your journey. I love the guests on this podcast & the topics discussed. Thank you!

  • Fantastic

    Where has this podcast been my whole life!? It is like a cool breeze on face. It is so exhausting to feel that wall of invisible distrust of the feminine…why is it the same in the church as in the rest of the population? Isn’t Jesus our example? There is so much to mourn…but wow do I thank God for you Dr. Cohick and Dr. Imes.

  • Excellent and informative

    I met Lynn at Kyrigma 2 yrs ago. I have followed the podcast since. I love it. I have been able to use the knowledge gained to teach my class at church. I also have been encouraged by the understanding of what women really add to the body of Christ.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S7 E9 | Dr. Holly Beers | The Cross of Christ in the Book of Luke
Q: What do we want to take away? What is Jesus emphasizing for us?
Beers highlights Jesus's suffering and resurrection, the proclamation of repentance and forgiveness, the disciples' witness, and the Spirit's power to equip them for their mission.
S7 E9 | Dr. Holly Beers | The Cross of Christ in the Book of Luke
Q: What are some of the things we want to key in on? How does Luke set this story up?
Beers says Luke gives greater emphasis to Jesus's resurrection and vindication, while connecting his suffering to Isaiah's servant and making space for the disciples to continue that servant's mission.
S7 E7 | Dr. Holly J. Carey | The Cross of Christ in the Book of Mark
Q: Can you talk a little bit about how Psalm 22 really seems to inform?
Carey explains that Mark draws on Psalm 22 through the soldiers casting lots, mockery of Jesus, and Jesus's cry from the cross. The psalm's shift from lament to thanksgiving supports reading Jesus as the righteous sufferer whose vindication comes through resurrection.
S7 E7 | Dr. Holly J. Carey | The Cross of Christ in the Book of Mark
Q: What does the resurrection do in relation to the Cross?
Carey says Jesus's resurrection distinguishes his death from that of martyrs and is the moment God vindicates him as faithful and righteous.
S7 E8 | Dr. Jeannine K. Brown | The Cross of Christ in the Book of Matthew
Q: What did Matthew hope to communicate when the crowds say Jesus's blood is on them and their children?
Brown says the passage should be read with care, noting Pilate's responsibility and Matthew's portrayal of multiple agents. The crowd's words do not justify blaming Jewish people collectively, and the passage has a history of being used to harm them.
