  • Thank You

    Thank you for going deep into the lives of women in the Bible and presenting it from a woman’s perspective. I’m sorry, but men seem to cut it short when they cover this topic. They have left me feeling that God really doesn’t care much about women. I really needed this podcast.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

037 April Coffee Chat Bible Questions!
Q: What is your take on family parental estrangement in the Bible and today?
Estrangement is not God's ideal, but in abusive or dangerous situations it may be necessary; the discussion emphasizes careful, Spirit-led decisions about contact while aiming for reconciliation where possible.
037 April Coffee Chat Bible Questions!
Q: Do we know anything about Mary, Jesus' mother genealogy, and why Joseph's genealogy is included if he's not the biological father?
There are theories about Joseph as the father in the ancient mindset, and genealogies may reflect social perceptions of paternity; Mary's direct genealogy is less clearly documented, and scholars like Joan Taylor have proposed nuanced explanations about first-century views on virgin birth and lineage.
037 April Coffee Chat Bible Questions!
Q: The first question is how can we start to introduce the idea of women speaking or preaching, or even egalitarian interpretations of the Bible to hard complementarians?
Start by addressing hermeneutics and historical context, then show patterns of how God uses women in scripture, suggesting resources and authors who argue for egalitarian interpretations to open dialogue rather than forcing a conclusion on hard complements.
Mary Magdalene Was Not A Prostitute And The Bible Already Told Us So
Q: How do modern portrayals (like The Chosen) influence our understanding of Magdalene?
They can refresh interest and lead readers back to the text, but we should rely on scripture for the core roles and avoid conflating or sensationalizing her story.
Mary Magdalene Was Not A Prostitute And The Bible Already Told Us So
Q: What makes Mary Magdalene an apostle in the biblical sense?
She is sent by Jesus to proclaim the resurrection, she is present as a witness across the gospel accounts, and she is depicted with leadership and authority in announcing the good news, not just as a follower.
