In this weeks episode of inverted Orthodoxy, Pastors Kyle, Blake, and Doug answer the following long form question: Negative Impact of Modern Western Culture on Biblical MarriageModern Western cultures often prioritize individualism, personal fulfillment, and egalitarian values, which can conflict with traditional Biblical views of marriage. The emphasis on equality sometimes leads to the reinterpretation or rejection of roles traditionally seen as complementary in a Christian marriage. This cultural shift can create tension and misunderstandings regarding the Biblical model of marriage, where roles are often defined in terms of leadership and submission.2 Influence on Gender Roles in MarriageThe feminist movement has played a significant role in reshaping gender roles within marriage. The Biblical perspective of husbands as "heads" of the household and wives as submissive partners is often challenged, leading to:A) Redefinition of Leadership: Some contemporary Christians interpret leadership as a shared responsibility rather than a unilateral role. This has diluted the traditional concept of the husband's authority and leadership.B) Shift in Responsibilities: With both spouses often working, responsibilities can become more fluid and less traditionally defined, leading to a negotiation of duties that may not align with Biblical teachings.3 Misunderstanding of Scriptural TermsKey terms such as "obey," "submit," "honor," and "lead" carry profound meanings within the Biblical context. However, modern interpretations often lead to misconceptions:Obey and Submit: These terms can be perceived as oppressive. Biblical submission, however, is described as a mutual act of love and respect, where both partners submit to one another (Ephesians 5:21).Honor and Lead: The call to honor and lead may be misconstrued as dictatorial authority rather than a servant leadership style that reflects Christ's love for the church (Ephesians 5:25).4 Power Dynamics in the HomeThe push for gender equality has led to a re-evaluation of power dynamics in marriage:Men Failing to Lead: Some men may struggle with the concept of leadership. This can lead to a sense of inadequacy or confusion regarding their role.Wives Struggling to Submit: Women may find it challenging to allow their husbands to lead, especially if they have developed a strong independent identity or have experienced previous relationships where leadership was abused.5 Challenges in Letting Go and TrustingBoth partners face distinct challenges in navigating these dynamics:Trust Issues: For many women, trusting a husband to lead can be daunting. The fear of relational vulnerability complicates this trust.Fear of Ineffectiveness: Men may fear that stepping into a leadership role could lead to criticism or rejection of their decisions, which can perpetuate a cycle of indecision or avoidance of leadership.Cultural Pressures: Societal narratives often emphasize independence and self-sufficiency, which can create barriers to embracing a Biblical model of marriage that values interdependence and cooperation.6 Education and Church InfluenceThe diminished presence of the church in public schools and its influence on educational curriculums can have far-reaching implications:Curriculum Changes: As church teachings have receded from public education, secular narratives often dominate discussions on gender and sexuality. Curricula that emphasize gender fluidity, personal choice, and diverse family structures can contrast sharply with traditional Biblical teachings.Altered Narratives: This change can distort views of Biblical truths, especially among younger generations who may be less exposed to church teachings. As a result, children may grow up with values that prioritize individualism and personal autonomy over the communal and sacrificial aspects of Christian marriage.The Questions1 What advice would you give to couples currently struggling to establish a more Biblical Marriage? For those who recognize the negative impacts of modern influences on marriage and family dynamics, redirecting leadership roles can be a significant struggle. While the concept of gender equality holds value, it often fails to embrace or support the distinct and complementary roles that individuals play within marriage. 2 I can't help but wonder whether the rising divorce statistics are influenced by our collective rejection of these traditional roles and the subconscious effects of contemporary culture on our marital expectations. What are your thoughts? I believe as children of God, we are equals; however, it is essential to recognize that the genders are not designed to be identical. The differences in our design carry a profound significance that highlights how we complement one another, allowing us to unite as one and support each other in our respective roles. Embracing these unique attributes can enhance our relationships, leading to a more fulfilling and harmonious partnership.Resources for this episode: - The Making of Biblical Womanhood by Beth Allison Barr - The Marriage You Always Wanted by Sheila Wray Gregorie and Dr. Keith Gregorie -Nobody's Mother by Sandra Glahn Do you have a question you've been wanting answered?

Send us a textDr. Sandra Glahn shatters misconceptions about the goddess Artemis of Ephesus and reveals how cultural context transforms our understanding of biblical passages about women's roles in the church and family.• Artemis was not a fertility goddess but actually "nobody's mother" – a virgin huntress who was known for killing women and children.• Artemis worship dominated Ephesus during Paul's ministry there, influencing the spiritual climate he addressed in letters like 1 Timothy.• Paul's instructions in 1 Timothy address false teachings circulating in house churches, potentially connected to Artemis worship.• Paul never directly attacked Artemis by name but presented Jesus as better – a wise approach for engaging culture.• Women were created to multiply, mother, and rule – but multiplication isn't limited to biological reproduction.• The Genesis command to "be fruitful and multiply" is never repeated in the New Testament; instead, we're commanded to multiply disciples.• Women like Lydia, Priscilla, and Phoebe were key church leaders without mentioning children.• Deborah "arose a mother to Israel," showing mothering as a broader concept of spiritual nurture and leadership.Order Sandra's new book: Nobody's MotherVisit Sandra's website: Dr. Sandra GlahnSupport the showBegin Your Heartlifter's Journey: Visit and subscribe to Heartlift Central on Substack.

Send us a textThrough personal stories and theological insights, New Testament Scholar and author Sandra Glahn challenges traditional views of motherhood and explores how maternal presence can be expressed beyond biological childbearing. Her journey through multiple pregnancy losses led to profound questions about women's purpose that ultimately expanded her understanding of female calling in both family and faith communities. In this three-part series, Sandra and I talk about:• Sandra's story of growing up expecting motherhood to be her highest calling.• The identity crisis caused by experiencing eight failed pregnancies.• How the cultural ideal of stay-at-home mothering shaped women's understanding of purpose.• The theological journey that led Sandra to seminary against conventional expectations.• Jesus' words about Mary "choosing what is better" as validation for women's theological pursuits.• Examination of 1 Timothy 2:15 about women being "saved through childbearing."• The connection between the Artemis cult in Ephesus and Paul's teaching about women.• Recognition that both men and women are given spiritual gifts to benefit the entire body of Christ.• Expanding our understanding of "mothering" beyond biological definitions.Join us to explore how reframing maternal influence can unleash women's power in homes, churches, and the world.Order Sandra's new book: Nobody's MotherVisit Sandra's website: Dr. Sandra GlahnSupport the showBegin Your Heartlifter's Journey: Visit and subscribe to Heartlift Central on Substack.

In this recording Dr. Glahn talks with Kay Daigle about the way we interpret the stories of women in Scripture and how that affects our perspective of them. Additionally she suggests that we learn to understand them from the context and provides many examples of how to be true to the text--and there are so many!

We're so happy to have you on video or our podcast. Our guest today is Dr. Sandra Glahn, who has been with us many times. Welcome, Sandi. Thank you for being here. Dr. Glahn >> Such a pleasure. Always a pleasure. Love what you're doing. Kay >> Thank you so much. I always contact Sandi once or twice a year and just say, what do you have going on? What can we talk about? Because I know what a blessing it will be to all of you out there. And today we are talking about “Women in the Story of Scripture.” And I'm particularly excited about this one. Why are you working on this right now? Do you want to give us a little background? Dr. Glahn >> Yeah. So I'm working on a book right now called A Woman's Place in the Story. And my pitch was basically this: First we had men's history, and we study David and we study the children of Israel, and we study Moses, which is important to study as Scripture is important. But we tended to initially just skip the women and then as a corrective have gone back and done studies on the women of the Bible, which we are not done doing, by the way. So it's still completely appropriate to have a women's study Bible and studies of women because so often they were left out. Example, you might have heard a sermon series on Genesis that skipped the story of Tamar, that's essential to the plot of Joseph's life and to his brother Judah. So my argument is we need to go beyond cameoing women. The ideal would be to just tell the story but include the women as they're in the story because they're serving an important function in the story. And so what I want to talk about now is some of the tools we need to see them so that we interpret what's happening appropriately. Kay >> Well, that's great. I'm really excited about this as a Bible teacher myself. So I know I'm going to learn from you today, and I suspect that everyone out there will as well. So first, let's talk just a little bit about the elements of story. Dr. Glahn >> You think about if you read a novel, you've got a character, you've got a plot, you've got a setting. One of the things to know when we're reading the Hebrew Bible is that often the land acts as much like a character as a person, and God's using the land and things like this—we'll get to the daughters of Zelophehad later. But just as an example: these women who come and they're concerned that their father's name will be forgotten,...

To BE the image of God---what does that mean and what difference does it make to you and me today? Nika Spaulding unpacks it for those of us who are unsure or perhaps our understanding is incorrect.

Welcome to this podcast/video episode. Our special guest today is Nika Spaulding. Welcome, Nika. Nika >> Thanks, Kay. I'm excited to be here with you. Kay >> Well, it's always great to have you. We always love it when you are our guest. Nika is the Resident Theologian at St Jude Oak Cliff in the Dallas area. She has a Master of Theology from DTS and our topic today is about the image of God. We're talking about what it means to be God's image. Explain that a little bit for us, because I think we usually we would say what it means to be in the image of God, but what does it mean to be God's image? Nika >> Yeah, that's really good. I like that you clarify that because I think that's an important part of this conversation. We use the phrase image of God, or imago dei if you've heard the Latin one, this idea of humanity at the end of creation, God makes the heavens and the earth. He makes all these days; he fills the days. It's incredible. And then creation crescendos at the top and kind of breaks from the pattern. You sort of have a creation, day and night, creation, day and night, day, night. And then all of a sudden, the camera zooms in and God gets to the top of creation, which is in Genesis 1:26-27. Let's make mankind in our image male and female and you have this image language that gets picked up there. And what's really interesting about that is people forever have been talking about the image of God. It's a big idea in theology, but sometimes people will talk about it as if it's something you can do, or it's something that you receive, or maybe like you can bear it or you cannot bear it. And really I think an important distinction is, no, no, you just are the image of God. You don't do something to become the image of God. We just exist as the image of God because that's what it means to be human. It's all humans are the image of God rather than we can act like the image of God. And one of the distinctions that I like to make is sometimes people think that we are the image of God because we're rational. We were talking about pets before we hit record, and I love my dog more than I probably should. But I have to accept at some point that humans are more important than my dog. I may not emotionally accept that, but I can intellectually accept that on some level. And people will say, well, yeah, because you can reason, you can marry, you can logic, sort of all these things. And it's like, well, that then means people who with intellectual disabilities then don't image...

In this conversation, Dr. Sandra Glahn, Dr. Matthew Milliner, and Christine Calareso Bleecker discuss the absence of depicting the body of the first person of the Trinity in Christian art and how it has shaped perceptions of women. Dr. Milliner explains that early Christian art depicted the Trinity through sarcophagi and male embodiments of Christ, but the depiction of the Father went underground due to the influence of pagan depictions of Zeus. The resurgence of depicting the Trinity in art in later centuries led to the physical depiction of God and the caricature of the bearded male figure. This had ramifications for women, as it emphasized one gender's resemblance to God and undermined the understanding that both men and women fully image God. The conversation also explores the visual literacy needed to identify Virgin stories in art, such as the depictions of Agnes, Dorothy, Catherine, and Agatha. The significance of depicting the Virgin Mary is discussed, highlighting her representation of the ecclesial nature of the formation of the body of Christ and the reflection on end-of-life issues. The conversation also emphasizes the beauty and redemptive power of these art depictions. It also explores the power of images in healing and restoration, the importance of lament and hope, and the role of Mary as a symbol of healing and response to violence. Plus, the conversation also touches on the Virgin of the Passion and Our Lady of Perpetual Help as icons of love in the face of violence while addressing the power of images in overcoming pornography and the historical tradition of Mary as a leader in the church.Key Takeaways: The absence of depicting the body of the first person of the Trinity in Christian art has shaped perceptions of women.The resurgence of depicting the Trinity in art led to the physical depiction of God and the caricature of the bearded male figure.Depicting the Father physically undermined the understanding that both men and women fully image God.Visual literacy is important for identifying Virgin stories in art and understanding their significance.

In this episode, Matt chats with Sandra Glahn (PhD, University of Texas at Dallas) about her latest book, Nobody's Mother: Artemis of the Ephesians in Antiquity and the New Testament. Sandra's book is a must-read for anyone interested in the Greco-Roman world and, specifically, the New Testament. Of particular interest in this conversation is how to make sense of the phrase "she will be saved through childbearing" (1 Tim 2:15). Sandra makes a strong case that Paul is addressing the Artemis cult in this passage, which, arguably, has ramifications for how one interprets this and other parts of the pericope.

Some Christians think Paul's reference to "saved through childbearing" in 1 Timothy 2:15 means that women are slated primarily for delivering and raising children. Sandra Glahn thinks that we have misunderstood Paul by misunderstanding the context to which he wrote. A key to reading and applying 1 Timothy, Glahn argues, lies in getting to know a mysterious figure who haunts the letter: the goddess Artemis.Nobody's Mother Book
