In this episode Sandra Glahn helps us read Scripture the way we already know how to read a story. We talk about the women we've skipped as bunny trails, handed only to women, flattened into ideals, or made into sinners the text never called sinners — Tamar, the woman at the well, Abigail, Job's daughters, Rhoda at the door. We get into reading bigger sections instead of verse-sized fragments, what place and naming and silence are doing on purpose, translations that narrow the room, and why the hard texts still need preaching. There is more here than most of us have been trained to see.Dr Sandra Glahn is a professor at Dallas Theological Seminary and the cofounder of the Visual Museum of Women in Christianity.

Send us Fan MailAre you carrying your husband's emotions? Your children's disappointment? The tension in your home? Constantly reading the room, smoothing things over, rescuing, fixing, and keeping everyone okay will eventually crush you—and it can prevent the people you love from taking responsibility for their own growth.

Today on Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, I'm addressing the divorcee community and I'm going straight to the Bible.Why does God say He hates divorce? What does Scripture actually teach about marriage, covenant, divorce, and the responsibilities of husbands and wives? And why have divorce rates become so incredibly high, particularly as wives increasingly initiate divorce over reasons that, from a biblical perspective, are trivial, selfish, or completely unbiblical?This is not a message designed to just shame people who have experienced divorce. It is a challenge to the culture that has normalized abandoning marriage whenever things become difficult, inconvenient, or uncomfortable. We need to be willing to distinguish between legitimate biblical grounds for divorce and the endless list of modern excuses we've created to justify walking away from a sacred covenant.And that's not all we're discussing.I'm also talking about Donald Trump's continued failures, the gap between political promises and political reality, and why Americans should be questioning the decisions being made in our name.Plus, we're talking about the Iran War and why I believe this conflict is unnecessary and why Americans should be asking whether another foreign war actually serves the interests of the United States.Marriage. Divorce. Biblical truth. Trump. Iran. War. Political accountability.I'm saying what I believe needs to be said, even when it isn't popular (as usual).--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app

Send us Fan MailHave we become so familiar with the Gospel that we've stopped marveling at it? In this episode, Chelsey shares a moment from church that sparked a deeper question: Why are we often quicker to celebrate human achievement than the miracle of salvation? Together, we'll explore what Scripture reveals about encountering the holiness of God and why true worship isn't about personality or preference- it's about a heart that is still moved by His presence. If you've ever felt like your faith has become routine, this episode is an invitation to recover the wonder of the Gospel.

Send us Fan MailWhat does it really mean to be a tender wife?Our culture often equates tenderness with weakness, passivity, or being easily hurt. But the Bible paints a completely different picture. A tender heart is one that remains soft before God, compassionate toward others, and responsive to the Holy Spirit—even in a hard world.In this episode, we'll explore the biblical meaning of tenderness through Scripture, from King Josiah's tender heart to God's tender mercies and the tender branch that signals new life. You'll discover why tenderness isn't the absence of strength but strength fully surrendered to Christ, and how a soft heart becomes one of the enemy's greatest defeats.Because a High Level Wife isn't weak.She is tender before God, tenacious against the enemy, and committed to taking back the territory he stole.

Send us Fan Mail Why God's Design Was Always Bigger Than You What if God's ultimate purpose for your marriage isn't simply your happiness—but His glory?In this final episode of the series, we discover that marriage has always been about something greater than two people. Through Ephesians 5, you'll see how God's design for husbands and wives is a living picture of Christ's love for His Church. When we stop making marriage about ourselves and start making it about revealing Jesus, everything changes. Flourishing isn't the goal—it's the fruit of lives surrendered to God's authority and committed to displaying the Gospel to the world.

Send us Fan MailWhat does biblical submission actually look like on an ordinary Tuesday?In this practical episode, we're moving beyond misconceptions to discover how submission is lived out in everyday marriage. We'll talk about respect, honor, influence instead of control, making specific requests, handling disagreement, and why your obedience is an act of worship- not a strategy to change your husband. God's design isn't about making women smaller; it's about creating marriages that flourish for His glory.

Send us Fan MailSubmission has become one of the most misunderstood words in the Church.

What does it look like to follow Jesus in the everyday tension of motherhood, marriage, leadership, and personal healing? In episode four of our Summer Recap Series, Shelley Giglio is joined by author, Bible teacher, and podcaster Jackie Hill Perry for a raw and wisdom filled conversation about humility, trust, and the hidden work of sanctification. Jackie shares candidly about parenting four children while staying rooted in her calling, building a marriage grounded in friendship with her husband Preston, and learning to trust God in places of deep personal hurt and uncertainty. Together, they unpack what it means to live as disciples who choose obedience over ego, faith over fear, and gratitude over envy. This episode will encourage you to see God differently in your suffering, to embrace the narrow road of discipleship, and to trust that He is faithful in every step of your story.

When you hear the word gentleness, what comes to mind? If you're anything like me, you may think of someone who is quiet, passive, or soft-spoken. But what if we've misunderstood biblical gentleness all along? This week on The Love Offering Podcast, I had the joy of talking with Christie Thomas, author of Everyday Prayers for Gentleness. As fellow authors in the Everyday Prayers series through Million Praying Moms, we share a passion for helping women become more like Jesus through the power of prayer. Christie reminded me that gentleness isn't weakness at all—it's Spirit-empowered strength. In our conversation, we discussed: • Why gentleness is one of the most countercultural fruits of the Spirit.• How Jesus perfectly modeled both strength and tenderness.• Practical ways to respond with gentleness in marriage, parenting, friendships, church relationships, and even online.• How choosing gentleness can transform the atmosphere of your home and point others to the heart of Christ. One statement Christie shared has stayed with me: "Jesus is never just the Lion, and He's never just the Lamb. He's always both." What a beautiful picture of the kind of strength God wants to cultivate in us. If you've been feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, or quick to react lately, I think this conversation will encourage you. It reminded me that the strongest people aren't always the loudest—they're often the ones most surrendered to the Holy Spirit. I hope you'll take a few moments to listen. My prayer is that God will use this conversation to help all of us become women whose words, attitudes, and actions reflect the gentle heart of Jesus.

Send us Fan MailWhy do we ask God to restore what we're unwilling to surrender?In this episode, we're opening the book of Judges to uncover a sobering pattern: partial obedience always leads to compromise. The Israelites entered the Promised Land but refused to fully obey God's commands, and one generation later they had forgotten the Lord and were living according to their own ways. What does this have to do with marriage? More than you think. If we're praying for God's blessing while resisting His authority, we're building on the wrong foundation.

Let's talk about something called “the subjugation schema.” It's a clinical pattern that secular psychologists are actively trying to help women heal from, and the conservative Christian church has rebranded the exact same wound as godliness, biblical womanhood, and a high calling.If you've spent your life apologizing for taking up space, smiling when you wanted to scream, or feeling guilty about basic human needs like rest, preferences, and an opinion of your own, this episode is going to feel like someone finally turned the lights on.Key Takeaways:Meet Rachel and Megan: two composite women, two very different engines driving the exact same wound.

The Southern Baptist Convention just passed a constitutional amendment restricting women in ministry — and the implications reach far beyond the SBC. In this episode of Thinking Christian, Dr. James Spencer and co-host Ashish Varma sit down with Dr. Beth Allison Barr, historian, Baylor professor, and author of The Making of Biblical Womanhoodand Becoming the Pastor's Wife, to break down what happened, why it matters, and where evangelical Christianity may be heading. Beth traces the amendment's path from 2022 to its overwhelming passage in 2025, explains why Al Mohler's role was decisive, and unpacks the striking inconsistency at the heart of the SBC's position: the same ecclesiology used to avoid accountability for sexual abuse was set aside the moment women's roles came to a vote. We also go deeper into the historical forces behind this moment, from the fundamentalist-modernist controversy to decades of seminary curriculum that have shaped an entire generation of Christians who have never encountered a different reading of scripture. If you've wondered how complementarianism moves toward biblical patriarchy, Beth explains exactly how that progression works and why it isn't accidental. The conversation also takes up the coordination problem: the SBC has Desiring God, the Gospel Coalition, and institutional momentum built over decades. Those committed to keeping these conversations open and honest largely do not. That gap matters, and we name it directly. Topics covered: SBC constitutional amendment, women in ministry, complementarianism vs. egalitarianism, Al Mohler, biblical womanhood, evangelical polarization, church history, Beth Allison Barr Check out Beth's Substack at bethallisonbarr.substack.com, and her books: The Making of Biblical Womanhood and Becoming the Pastor's Wife.

Have you ever felt God nudging you toward something—but fear, doubt, or insecurity kept you from taking the next step? Maybe it's having a difficult conversation, starting a Bible study, pursuing a dream, reaching out to a neighbor, or simply trusting God in an uncertain season. Whatever it is, you're not alone. This week on The Love Offering Podcast, I had the joy of talking with author Laura L. Smith about her new book, Brave Women, Mighty God. Together, we explored the stories of women in Scripture who faced fear, uncertainty, and impossible circumstances—yet found the courage to move forward because of the God who was with them. One of my favorite reminders from our conversation was this: bravery isn't about being fearless. It's about trusting God enough to take the next step, even when we're afraid. Laura shared how the same God who empowered women like Esther, Ruth, Hannah, and Abigail is still empowering His daughters today. We talked about overcoming fear, resisting comparison, embracing obedience, and remembering that God's power is made perfect in our weakness. If you've been feeling stuck, uncertain, or hesitant to move forward in something God is calling you to do, I believe this conversation will encourage your heart. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why bravery isn't about your strength—it's about God's power working through you• How fear often keeps us from stepping into God's best• The importance of taking one small step of obedience at a time• How prayer reminds us who God is and who we are in Him• Why comparison can rob us of the unique calling God has given us• How the mighty God of Scripture is still equipping and empowering women today Friend, you don't have to have the entire plan figured out. You only need the courage to take the next faithful step. Because the same power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you. Be sure to share this episode with a friend who could use a little encouragement to be brave. With love, Rachael P.S. I'd love to hear: What's one brave step God may be asking you to take right now?

In this episode, Costi Hinn discusses motherhood, biblical womanhood, and the lies modern culture tells women about marriage, children, and fulfillment.

Elizabeth Berget joins the podcast to explore the maternal heart of God — tracing how the Hebrew word rakum, often translated simply as "compassionate," is linguistically rooted in the word for womb, and what it means that God reaches for that word first when describing himself to Israel. The conversation moves through pregnancy, labor, and the crucifixion, the theology of secure attachment, what scripture's birth language reveals about salvation, and why expanding our image of God isn't a departure from orthodox Christianity but a return to something ancient that's largely been lost in translation.ELIZABETH BERGET is a speaker and author of Love like a Mother: How the Sacred Work of Motherhood Reveals the Maternal Heart of God. Her work has appeared in Christianity Today, Coffee + Crumbs, Mothering Spirit, and other online spaces where mothers gather to find meaning in the mundane. She shares her thoughts in her Substack newsletter, Back of the Flock, where she explores the image of God in the everyday work of motherhood.

In this deeply honest and theologically rich episode, Heather Creekmore welcomes Jen Oshman—author, missionary, and mom of four daughters—to tackle a question many women silently struggle with: Is it good that I was born a woman? Together, they candidly explore how issues of body image, shame, and the cultural pressures of womanhood can lead to deep-seated doubts and frustration. Drawing from global and biblical perspectives, Jen Oshman shares insights gathered from years of cross-cultural ministry and studying God’s word. She addresses the vulnerabilities women face, both physically and socially, and how Western and global cultures shape our understanding of femininity. Jen Oshman unpacks what the Bible says about being female, highlighting the unique and powerful stories of women in Scripture that often get overlooked, and discusses why God’s design for women is not only intentional but also very good.
