009 I Bob Edwards, MSW Explains Socialization and Its Impact on Faith
from The Beautiful Kingdom Builders Podcast · host Rev. Ruth Perry
In this conversation, Bob Edwards explains the processes of socialization, discussing how societal norms are internalized and how they shape our perception of the world. This impacts our faith as we bring cultural biases to our Bible reading, especially in regards to gender. As GI Joe famously said, "Knowing is half the battle." Once we understand how powerful conditioning is, we can begin to explore ways we have been formed ourselves through cultural modeling, instruction, and reinforcement. Bob Edwards has a longer teaching on this subject on YouTube in a video titled, The Origins of Male Authority in the Church.
