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. Berget has lived in Africa and Asia but now resides in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with her husband, three kids, and one mischievous dog.

Happy Mother's Day to all of the incredible mothers out there. Today's episode is a deeper conversation about the urgent need for stronger, more biblical men and women in our culture, people willing to stand for truth, protect the vulnerable, and refuse to stay silent in the face of evil.We discuss the ongoing outrage surrounding the Epstein files, the lack of accountability for powerful people, and the broader cultural failure to protect victims from wicked and predatory individuals. But this conversation goes beyond headlines. It's about morality, courage, justice, faith, and what happens when societies stop valuing strong families, strong character, and biblical principles.This episode is ultimately about hope too, because evil does not win forever. Real justice matters, truth matters, and good people still have a responsibility to speak up.

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. Key Topics Covered Why the question, “Is it good that I was born a woman?” is more common than we realize The impact of shame, fear, and the lived realities of being female in our culture How body image struggles can be rooted in deeper frustrations about being a woman A biblical look at femininity—separating culture’s checklist from God’s truth The meaning of “helper” (Ezer) in Genesis and its empowering implications Why diversity among women in Scripture matters—and what we can learn from their stories Studying tough Old Testament laws (like menstruation) in context and seeing God’s heart of care for women Practical encouragement for women who wrestle with their purpose and God’s plan for their gender How to dig deeper into biblical womanhood with Jen’s new Lifeway Bible study, “Very Good” Connect with Jen here: https://www.jenoshman.com Grab a copy of Jen's new Bible study: "Very Good" on Amazon here.** Amazon affiliate link.

Welcome to the inaugural episode of the Eden Podcast! Recorded live at our highly anticipated women's faith event, this session takes a profound dive into humanity's origin story. Are you tired of hiding from God, weighed down by shame, or listening to the deceptive lies of the enemy? This empowering Christian podcast is your invitation to step back into the radiant light of God's original design for your spiritual identity.In this session, we meticulously unpack the foundational truths in Genesis 1 through 3. We explore the creative power of God's voice speaking the universe into existence. Discover the heart-melting meaning behind God declaring humanity "very good". It is a divine stamp of approval meaning you are delightfully pleasing to your Creator. We examine how God fashioned woman with intention, breathing life into us so we could live unashamed in His presence.However, the story doesn't end in paradise. We critically examine the entrance of the serpent, who uses crafty questions to distort God's boundaries and sow doubt. When the first humans ate from the tree, sin birthed an isolating shame, causing them to hide. How often do we do the exact same thing today? We disguise our true selves and shrink back from the abundant life God promised.Yet, God's response wasn't abandonment; it was a loving pursuit. He asked, "Where are you?"—a relational question aimed at restoring fellowship. Listen in as we explore the promise of cosmic redemption, God's gracious provision of garments to cover our shame, and the ultimate prophecy of Jesus Christ crushing the enemy's head. You are a spiritual billionaire with full access to God's promises; it is time to cash that check and claim your worth.Break free from the enemy's lies, overcome spiritual isolation, and hear your Heavenly Father declare over you once again, "You are very good".

In a world where the definition of "family" is constantly shifting, what does God actually have to say about the foundation of our lives? In this episode, Pastor Chris Rieber dives into Colossians 3:18–25 to unpack the divine blueprint for the Christian household. Far from a list of rigid rules, these verses reveal a high-stakes, beautiful design intended to reflect the heart of God.

Redefining Submission: We tackle the often-misunderstood concept of biblical submission, looking at it through the lens of trust, order, and mutual respect rather than control. The Husband’s Mandate: Pastor Chris explores the weighty calling of a husband to model Christ’s love—not through power, but through the radical sacrifice of laying down his life for his wife. The Training Ground: Why the home is the ultimate classroom. We discuss how the atmosphere of the home shapes children, teaching them what it truly looks like to navigate adult life with faith and integrity. Whether you are married, single, or raising a family, this message offers a grounded, biblical perspective on how our most intimate relationships can point the world back to the Gospel.

What happens when faith communities quietly replace women's leadership with unpaid, invisible labor? In this powerful Best of 2025 #1 top most downloaded episode of 2025 re-release, historian and bestselling author Dr. Beth Allison Barr joins Lori Adams-Brown to unpack how the role of the “pastor's wife” became a substitute for women's ordination—and the deep harm that followed. Drawing from her book Becoming the Pastor's Wife, Beth combines rigorous historical research with lived experience to show how a once-fluid vision of women's leadership in Christianity narrowed dramatically in the late 20th century. What emerges is a sobering picture: women expected to perform the equivalent of multiple full-time jobs for free, while being told their obedience—not their gifts—is God's highest calling. Together, Lori and Beth explore how this shift didn't happen gradually, but almost overnight, during the Southern Baptist Convention's fundamentalist takeover. They discuss the psychological toll on women, the myth of “biblical womanhood,” and how patriarchy often survives by recruiting women to enforce it. This conversation isn't just about church history—it's about power, unpaid labor, identity, and what happens when women are asked to disappear for the sake of “peace.” In this episode, we cover: How marriage replaced ordination as women's path to ministry The myth of the “ideal” pastor's wife and its emotional toll Why unpaid labor is framed as godliness—and why that's harmful How women are pitted against one another inside patriarchal systems What it could look like for women to work together instead Guest Bio:Beth Allison Barr is a medieval historian, professor, and bestselling author of The Making of Biblical Womanhood. Her work bridges history, faith, and gender, helping readers recover the erased stories of women in Christianity.

In this episode of The Christian Faith Podcast, we have an honest, biblical conversation about a question many Christians are asking today: should Christian women work outside the home, or should they be stay-at-home mothers?We examine what Scripture actually teaches about womanhood, marriage, motherhood, provision, and cultural influence—without submitting to modern pressure, feminism, or unbiblical tradition. Rather than reacting emotionally or politically, we seek to ground this discussion in the authority of God's Word and the wisdom of God's design.This episode is not about condemning women, but about clarity, discernment, and honoring Christ in family life, work, and calling. Whether you're married, single, a working mom, or considering staying home, this conversation aims to help Christians think biblically rather than culturally✝️ COACHING WITH DAVID! https://imdavidhammond.com✝️ COACHING WITH MALLORY! https://biblicallyfeminine.com

Marriage was never meant to be about selfish fulfillment or competing for power. In this episode, we break down God's design for marriage — what He actually expects from husbands and wives, why men and women are different by design, and how those differences are meant to complement, not compete.In a culture that increasingly rejects biblical roles and promotes self-centered relationships, we explain why Christian marriage is about self-denial, sacrifice, leadership, love, and unity, not ego or personal comfort.✝️ COACHING WITH DAVID! https://imdavidhammond.com✝️ COACHING WITH MALLORY! https://biblicallyfeminine.com

Beautiful soul, I am so excited to be back with you after a short but deeply transformative pause. In this powerful, I'm inviting you into an intimate conversation about something I once resisted… and now fully embrace: the divine dance between masculine and feminine energy within the Bible — and what it means for us as modern women walking in faith.     For years, I equated the Bible with pure masculine structure, discipline, and devotion. As someone who naturally leads with softness, intuition, and emotional depth, I struggled to see myself in it. But God… oh, He is so tender, patient, and intentional. Through His Word, He showed me the breathtaking strength of feminine faith — and the necessity of both energies working together in harmony.     In this episode, I share: ✨ My personal journey from new age practices into an unshakable relationship with God and Jesus ✨ How the Bible beautifully honors women — from Mary to Mary Magdalene, and beyond ✨ Why feminine spirituality is not only biblical, but essential ✨ How my resistance turned into revelation (and how yours can too) ✨ What balancing masculine and feminine looks like in real, everyday faith ✨ An open invitation to join me weekly as we study Scripture and grow deeper together in community     If you've ever felt torn between intuition and structure… softness and strength… divine feminine and biblical truth… this episode will feel like a homecoming.      This conversation is your reminder that you were created with intention, with purpose, and with a sacred balance only God could design. And as you root yourself in Him, your impact can't help but grow.     Press play to reignite your faith, reconnect with your divine identity, and step boldly into the woman God handcrafted you to be.     Screenshot this episode, share it on your stories, and tag me @petiakolibova.

Send us a textComplementarians use a lot of really nice-sounding words to describe their beliefs about gender roles, but when you actually break down what they mean, they're not talking about roles at all—they're talking about hierarchy. In this episode, Keith and I decode all the euphemisms like "different roles," "servant leadership," and "his headship is for your protection" to show what complementarians are really saying: that men should be in authority over women. The problem is, when you actually implement these beliefs in marriage, we see relationships struggle—and the statistics bear that out. And we work directly against the gospel, putting the husband in the place of Jesus. THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSOROrder Dorothy Greco's book For the Love of Women which just launched this week!TO SUPPORT US: Join our Patreon for as little as $5 a month to support our workAnd check out our Merch, or any of our courses!Give to the Good Fruit Faith Initiative of the Bosko FoundationJoin our email list!LINKS MENTIONED: "The Marriage You Want" book on Amazon, or get the curriculum and video series from Baker Books"The Bible vs. Biblical Womanhood" by Philip Payne"How God Sees Women" by Terran WilliamsRebecca Groothuis essay on "Equal in Being, Unequal in Function"Previous podcast episode on John Piper's "harsh husband" advice Support the showJoin Sheila at Bare Marriage.com!Check out her books: The Great Sex Rescue She Deserves Better The Marriage You Want and the Study Guide The Good Girl's Guide to Great Sex and The Good Guy's Guide to Great Sex And she has an Orgasm Course and a Libido course too!Check out all her courses, FREE resources, social media, books, and so much more at Sheila's LinkTree.

Today we're trashing feminism some more, because it obviously deserves it. Feminism is not only unbiblical, it's extremely destructive for all of society. We'll talk about why Christian podcasters like Allie Beth Stuckey shouldn't defend their feminism while claiming to follow Christ, and why Christianity itself is a patriarchy, by God's design. It's time for biblical men to stop waiting for permission from feminists and take back the authority God gave them. We'll also discuss more of the Trump administration's mistakes, including this ridiculous new 50-year mortgage idea that proves how far from wisdom our leaders have fallen.

Through the portrait painted in Proverbs 31 we see a glorious invitation for each woman to fulfill her God-given calling and pursue enduring character traits, with a key reminder of God's grace to fill in the gaps of our failures.

In today's latest Stuff We Didn't Get in Sunday School, we're unpacking Biblical Inerrancy! Join Erin, Evan, and Jamie as we discuss the history behind the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy, some alternatives to digging your heels in on this concept, and why people tend to use inerrancy as a litmus test for salvation. What is meant by Jesus being the Word of God, and what do foreskins have to do with any of this? You'll have to listen to find out!

Today we're discussing the debate between feminists and non-feminists, and why I side with the non-feminists for biblical reasons. Just because women can do some of what men do doesn't mean we should. We'll also continue discussing the Charlie Kirk case, Erika Kirk's strange behavior, why being a widow doesn't automatically make you innocent, and why it's deeply concerning that TPUSA refuses to distance itself from Israel, even as Charlie's final words publicly challenged Israel, Judaism, and the control of figures like Ben Shapiro over the conservative movement.

What does it mean to be a woman today? Our culture has turned this into a debate, but for many young women—especially in Christian homes and schools—the real struggle comes in sorting through competing voices, conflicting priorities, and a lack of clear role models.In this episode of BaseCamp Live, Davies sits down with his daughter, Hannah Owens, founder of The Swish Magazine. Drawing from her own classical Christian upbringing, Hannah shares how she came face-to-face with the confusion around womanhood in her Gen Z college years and why she's now committed to recovering a vision of classical femininity—the preservation and reflection of truth, goodness, and beauty in womanhood.Together they discuss:Why Gen Z women often prioritize career over marriage and family—and what that reveals about cultural messaging.The gap between “pioneer bonnets” and modern feminism—and why girls need something more rooted and hopeful in between.How role models, from Princess Catherine to contemporary Christian entrepreneurs, can embody duty, beauty, and service.Practical ways parents and schools can guide daughters toward confident, Christ-centered womanhood.From family photo walls to auditing media habits, Hannah offers tangible steps to help reframe femininity not as performance, but as calling. This is a conversation for parents, educators, and young women alike who long to celebrate the true, good, and beautiful in a culture that has lost its way.Special Thanks to our partners who make BaseCamp Live possible:The Herzog FoundationThe Champion GroupZipCastWilson Hill AcademyLife Architects Coaching Stay tuned for more enlightening discussions on classical Christian education, and join us next time on BaseCamp Live!

What if the role of “pastor's wife” wasn't biblical at all, but a cultural invention that sidelined women from ministry? Dr. Beth Allison Barr pulls back the curtain on how power, patriarchy, and politics shaped Evangelical churches—and why reclaiming women's voices could change everything. Episode Summary So glad to sit down with Dr. Beth Allison Barr—medievalist, church historian, and author of The Making of Biblical Womanhood and Becoming the Pastor's Wife—for a candid conversation about faith, history, evangelical subcultures, and women's leadership in the church. Beth traces how the modern “pastor's wife” role emerged alongside the decline of women's ordination, shows how women have always done pastoral work, and offers grounded, hope-filled ways to talk across differences in a volatile moment.

After their “Act Like a Man” episode, the Perrys thought it would be beneficial to also have a conversation on womanhood. When Jackie first became a believer, she felt as though many books she read on womanhood leaned heavily on cultural contexts or norms instead of Biblical frameworks. As she has become more comfortable in her femininity, she's learned more about what it looks like to show up as a woman in everything God has called her to, whether that be marriage, motherhood, or ministry. Jackie and Preston discuss women's unique interpretations of scripture because of experiences men can't relate to, why a wife's submission to her husband is an act of tremendous strength, and how women's voices can be prioritized and dignified in the church. This Episode is Sponsored By: https://liberty.edu/Perry — Get your application fee WAIVED when you start your future with Liberty University today! https://www.covenanteyes.com/perrys/ — Get Victory by Covenant Eyes FREE for 30 days with promo code PERRYS Scripture references:Genesis 16 (the story of Hagar)Ephesians 5:22-24 & 231 Peter 3:5-6 Subscribe to the Perrys' newsletter.To support the work of the Perrys, donate via PayPal.www.withtheperrys.comboldapparel.shopwww.jackiehillperry.comwww.preston-perry.com
