Pastor Tim and Andrew Henry discuss Helen Andrews' article "The Great Feminization," in which she presents this thesis: "Wokeness is not a new ideology, an outgrowth of Marxism, or a result of post-Obama disillusionment. It is simply feminine patterns of behavior applied to institutions where women were few in number until recently."Is she right? Has God made men and women different? Does His Word clearly define the differences? Has the church been faithful to uphold His Word as our standard?The episode concludes with a discussion of the feminization and bowdlerization of English translations of Scripture.Also mentioned:Carol Gilligan's In a Different Voice (1982)Andrew Jackson, speaking of Marshall's opinion in Worcester v. Georgia: "He has made his decision; now let him enforce it."Hemingway: "'How did you go bankrupt?' 'Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.'"***Out of Our Minds Podcast: Pastors Who Say What They Think.

#201: Tired of feeling whiplash from dating that starts strong, then fades by month three? We're pulling the curtain back on the pattern so many women recognize: consistent texts, thoughtful questions, future talk, and then a sudden dip in energy that gets explained away as “not ready” or “let's go with the flow.” We explore why these early signals feel like intention, how they set expectations, and what to do when words and actions stop matching.We dig into the deeper wiring, too. If inconsistency felt normal in childhood, your body might confuse unease with chemistry and intensity with safety. That's why steady effort can feel boring while the rollercoaster feels alive. We also unpack a subtler trend: when emotional intimacy becomes a shortcut to closeness—asking all the right questions without the capacity to maintain real responsibility. Masks don't just fall; they expire. Around the three to six month mark, performance gives way to patterns, and that's your clearest data point.So where does that leave us? With practical choices. We're choosing actions that don't need interpretation, a steady pace over fireworks, patterns over promises, and emotional responsibility over convenience. We talk about age and accountability, why access without direction is a dealbreaker, and how to ask for structure without apologizing. Most of all, we reframe “pressure” as a request for alignment: if the reality is close connection, let the definition reflect it. Silence protects the pattern; clarity protects you.If this conversation resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a confidence boost, and leave a quick review to help more listeners find us. Your story matters—what pattern are you choosing to stop recycling next?You can now send us a text to ask a question or review the show. We would love to hear from you!

This week on The Narrative, Aaron and Mike break down two major stories making headlines: the latest developments in the case of the Toledo doctor who forced abortion pills on his girlfriend, and the new peer-reviewed HHS report that uncovers the truth about pediatric gender dysphoria. After the news, tune in for the powerful and uncompromising message from author and speaker Rosaria Butterfield, recorded live at CCV’s 2025 Essential Summit. Known for her sharp clarity and bold testimony, Rosaria shares her journey from a tenured queer-theory professor and LGBTQ activist to a follower of Christ, and how the Gospel reshaped everything she believed about womanhood, identity, and truth. With striking honesty, Rosaria opens up about the personal cost of her conversion, the pastors who discipled her with patience and Scripture, and why she believes today’s cultural pressures are discipling young women far more aggressively than the Church. She unpacks the roots of modern feminism and gender ideology, their impact on Gen Z, and why she says the Church must recover courage, conviction, and biblical clarity in this moment. If you want a message that challenges, sharpens, and calls believers to contend for the faith with strength and love, you won’t want to miss this episode. More About Rosaria Butterfield Dr. Rosaria Butterfield is a former tenured professor of English and women’s studies at Syracuse University, who came to Christ in what she describes as a “train wreck” conversion. Her journey is chronicled in her memoir, The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert. Once an outspoken advocate for feminist philosophy and LGBTQ+ politics, Rosaria was drawn to faith through the hospitality of a local pastor and his wife. After years of conversation and Scripture study, she gave her life to Christ in 1999. Today, Rosaria is married to a Reformed Presbyterian pastor. She is also a mother and grandmother, as well as a speaker and author. Want to See Rosaria Butterfield Live? Dr. Rosaria Butterfield will return to CCV's Essential Summit in 2026!

Feminism's Empire (Cornell UP, 2022) investigates the complex relationships between imperialisms and feminisms in the late nineteenth century and demonstrates the challenge of conceptualizing "pro-imperialist" and "anti-imperialist" as binary positions. By intellectually and spatially tracing the era's first French feminists' engagement with empire, Carolyn J. Eichner explores how feminists opposed—yet employed—approaches to empire in writing, speaking, and publishing. In differing ways, they ultimately tied forms of imperialism to gender liberation. Among the era's first anti-imperialists, French feminists were enmeshed in the hierarchies and epistemologies of empire. They likened their gender-based marginalization to imperialist oppressions. Imperialism and colonialism's gendered and sexualized racial hierarchies established categories of inclusion and exclusion that rested in both universalism and ideas of "nature" that presented colonized people with theoretical, yet impossible, paths to integration. Feminists faced similar barriers to full incorporation due to the gendered contradictions inherent in universalism. The system presumed citizenship to be male and thus positioned women as outsiders. Feminism's Empire connects this critical struggle to hierarchical power shifts in racial and national status that created uneasy linkages between French feminists and imperial authorities. Dr. Carolyn J. Eichner about is a Professor of History and Women's and Gender Studies at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. Feminism's Empire is her third book. Surmounting the Barricades: Women in the Paris Commune came out in 2004 and The Paris Commune: A Brief History came out in 2022. Surmounting the Barricades: Women in the Paris Commune was published in French as Franchir les barricades: les femmes dans la Commune de Paris (Éditions de la Sorbonne, 2020). Translated by Bastien Craipain, it was a finalist for the Prix Augustin Thierry in 2021, an award from the city of Paris for a historical study concerning the period between Antiquity and the late 19th century. In 2022-2023 she will be a Fulbright Research scholar in France and will be in residence at the Camargo Foundation in Cassis. Michael G. Vann is a professor of world history at California State University, Sacramento.

Feminism's Empire (Cornell UP, 2022) investigates the complex relationships between imperialisms and feminisms in the late nineteenth century and demonstrates the challenge of conceptualizing "pro-imperialist" and "anti-imperialist" as binary positions. By intellectually and spatially tracing the era's first French feminists' engagement with empire, Carolyn J. Eichner explores how feminists opposed—yet employed—approaches to empire in writing, speaking, and publishing. In differing ways, they ultimately tied forms of imperialism to gender liberation. Among the era's first anti-imperialists, French feminists were enmeshed in the hierarchies and epistemologies of empire. They likened their gender-based marginalization to imperialist oppressions. Imperialism and colonialism's gendered and sexualized racial hierarchies established categories of inclusion and exclusion that rested in both universalism and ideas of "nature" that presented colonized people with theoretical, yet impossible, paths to integration. Feminists faced similar barriers to full incorporation due to the gendered contradictions inherent in universalism. The system presumed citizenship to be male and thus positioned women as outsiders. Feminism's Empire connects this critical struggle to hierarchical power shifts in racial and national status that created uneasy linkages between French feminists and imperial authorities.

Disclaimer: We are not professionals. This podcast is opinioned based and from life experience. This is for entertainment purposes only. Opinions helped by our guests may not reflect our own. But we love a good conversation.In this unfiltered 2 Be Better Podcast episode, Chris and Peaches break down the “princess treatment” trend, the bare minimum vs princess treatment challenge, and a viral Rolling Stone article attacking trad wives and traditional gender roles. They react to the Princess and the Pe fairy tale, the TikTok hose challenge, and the idea that opening doors, pumping gas, ordering for your wife, and protecting her in public is “over the top” or “misogynistic.” You will hear a blunt, masculine perspective on chivalry, equality, and partnership, why “I don't need a man” is propaganda, and the difference between being fully capable on your own and actually wanting to be loved, protected, and prioritized in a traditional marriage.From there they zoom out and tackle the bigger culture war around trad wife content, feminism, and the dating crisis, including why so many men are afraid to approach women, why women who want to be stay at home wives are shamed online, and how real men see the value of a feminine, nurturing wife raising the next generation. They also go deep on blended families and step-parent hate, defending stepdads and stepmoms who choose to love and raise children that are not biologically theirs, and showing how that role can completely change a kid's future. If you care about traditional marriage, princess treatment vs bare minimum, trad wife life, chivalry in relationships, step-parent dynamics, and building a strong, functional family instead of living for internet approval, this video is going to hit hard and give you language for the standards you actually want to live by.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/2-be-better--5828421/support.

Stacy sits down with licensed depth therapist and author of the new book, The Motherhood Myth, Vanessa Bennett, to unpack why so many women feel overwhelmed, overextended, and exhausted by unseen emotional labor. Through the lens of depth psychology, they explore the “have it all” trap, the inner patriarchy, self-abandonment, inherited power systems, and the cultural scripts still shaping modern motherhood and partnership. From modeling conflict for our kids to untangling the sister wound and reclaiming our needs, this conversation offers clarity, validation, and a grounded path toward finally stepping off the hamster wheel. 0:00 | Vanessa Bennett & depth psychology 2:00 | Feminism, equality & the “have it all” trap 6:30 | Emotional labor, burnout & the hamster wheel 10:00 | Modeling conflict & repair for our kids 12:45 | Inner patriarchy & self-abandonment 16:00 | Power systems we inherit without realizing 18:30 | Marriage roles & old scripts that linger 22:00 | Sex, needs & emotional outsourcing 27:00 | Sister wound, witch wound & lost community 32:00 | Emotional intelligence as “both/and” 35:00 | Practical steps to stop self-abandoning 39:00 | Where to find Vanessa's work See complete show notes and more at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠realeverything.com⁠⁠!
