- Clubbing evangelicals to death with bad data
How to create a podcast like this:
1. Read a best-selling marriage book that has helped thousands of people but YOU think it’s harmful to women.
2. Get a publisher to pay for and survey a large sample of women who share your views (known as self-selection, snowball sampling).
3. Publish this “data” that (surprise!) supports your view and pretend it’s not your opinion because it’s “based on research.” Don’t forget to make LOTS of causal connections from (biased) data that can only be correlative.... more

United States2 months ago - So needed in this time
I am one of many who has been helped and healed by the work and research of Sheila, Rebecca and Joanna.

It is not wrong to question, in fact, its our calling as followers of Jesus. We should not blindly follow the crowd, even if it claims to be a Christian one. It’s time to have the hard conversations and truly jud... more

They have great intentions, I’m sure, but are as wrong as the ideologies/theologies they oppose. Find another source for biblical representation of marriage.

Her theology is terrible.
She complains a lot about evangelical Christians.
Apple Podcasts1mart10_kUnited States3 months ago - Critically important
This podcast is one of the most important podcasts by one of the most influential teams of our day. Anyone giving it low stars doesn’t get their hearts and likely needs to do some inner work to face the misogyny we’ve all been surrounded by. It’s not anti man in any way; it’s about healing unhealthy views in order to be empowered through Christ.
