Patriarchy is a power that steals, kills, and destroys. But in the darkness, the Spirit of God hovers, waiting to give birth to new life. Danielle Strickland joins us today to shed light on this critical issue facing the church. Danielle unpacks how patriarchy has deeply distorted our view of God, the scriptures, and the flourishing of men and women together. She shares how this male-centered ordering of the world has undermined women's confidence and value, and how it stands in stark contrast to God's design for mutual flourishing. Yet Danielle also offers hope. She calls us to see the powerful witness of women throughout scripture - from Hagar to Mary Magdalene. And she challenges men to step up, to confront the systems of patriarchy, and to disproportionately invest in empowering women. This is a conversation that gets to the heart of the gospel - a message of life, not death; a vision of mutual empowerment, not domination. Danielle's words have the potential to shift the very culture of the church. So join us. Danielle lets Love lead her to inspire, challenge, provoke and disrupt the present, and to live the future now. Having lived in different cultures and contexts around the world she celebrates diversity and deeply longs for wrong things to be made right. Danielle practises following Jesus daily. This pursuit has led to exciting entrepreneurial exploits (like co-founding multiple charities and non-profits) and a whole host of failures (that we don't as often talk about). All of this has convinced her of the deep need we all have for hope, faith, and love. Her deepest longing is to demonstrate what living that boundless life looks like.Danielle has written six books (the latest is The Other Side of Hope), has a podcast called The Right Side Up (which recently celebrated half-a-million downloads), and speaks to people at events all over the world. Danielle leads Boundless Communications Inc. which launches creative exploits like Women Speakers Collective (liberating voices of women around the globe), IMBY (a tiny home movement IN MY BACKYARD), Brave Global (preventing human trafficking), Infinitum (a way of living deeply), and Hagar's Voice (support and advocacy for survivors of abuse). Danielle lives in Vancouver, Canada with her three sons and husband Steve. Danielle loves getting outside, doing new things, physical adventures, and she can't seem to turn down a free lunch.Danielle's Book:Need to KnowDanielle's Recommendations:The PowerJoin Our Patreon for Early Access and More: PatreonConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@allnations.usGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

Welcome to TheoDisc episode 46, where Kenny is joined by Danielle Strickland! She is the founder of Boundless Enterprise which has launched multiple creative exploits. She hosts 'The Right Side Up' Podcast, and is the author of multiple books including 'The Liberating Truth' and 'The Other Side of Hope'. You can find out more about Danielle at her website daniellestrickland.com In this episode we talk about her latest book, ‘Need To Know' which is a collection of writings that Danielle has curated from diverse voices to speak about the need to empower female leaders in the church. Often those in church leadership don't know what they don't know, even if they are supportive of women in leadership - the cultural waters of patriarchy still create assumptions that need to be challenged. That's the subject of our conversation and we hope you enjoy it.

Sometimes God's calling doesn't make sense or it isn't how we expected. Jesus called His disciples on a journey to an unknown and foreign area; but even when the storms rose, He was the peace and calm in their midst. Danielle Strickland explores the last passage in Mark 4 and how we can orient our ways to follow Jesus and trust in His plan.
Danielle was a juvenile delinquent in a holding cell when she had a powerful encounter with Jesus. From then on she's always been on the side of the outcast, the vulnerable and the misunderstood. Life with her is a ‘beautiful mess' (the title of one of her books), and listening to her is an inspiring breath of fresh air.

It's one thing to survive with hope barely. But it's an entirely different thing to overflow with it! And it's possible! Today, we get to hear from Danielle Strickland, founder of Boundless Communications Inc. Danielle offers a new perspective on hope and shares how our culture often defines it inaccurately. Hope isn't happiness. Hope isn't distance. It's honest, it's present, and it's active. Quotes You get your hope from the source of hope. Hope is found in the present tense. Hope is the presence of God right now. Hope is not something you see from a distance. Hope is an action that we're participating in. If you want to live hopefully, even about macro issues…do something small.

Having lived in different cultures and contexts around the world, she celebrates diversity and deeply longs for wrong things to be made right. Danielle practices following Jesus daily. This pursuit has led to exciting entrepreneurial exploits (like co-founding multiple charities and non-profits) and a whole host of failures (that we don't talk about as often).

Danielle has written six books (the latest is The Other Side of Hope), has a podcast called The Right Side Up (which recently celebrated half a million downloads), and speaks to people at events all over the world. Danielle leads Boundless Communications Inc. which launches creative exploits like Women Speakers Collective (liberating voices of women around the globe), IMBY (a tiny home movement IN MY BACKYARD), Brave Global (preventing human trafficking), Infinitum (a way of living deeply), and Hagar's Voice (support and advocacy for survivors of abuse). Her home is in Toronto, Canada with her three sons and husband Steve. Danielle loves getting outside, doing new things, physical adventures, and she can't seem to turn down a free lunch.

The base from which they approach this task is found in the belief that God is at work redeeming all things everywhere.
