But what happens when its ideas are examined through the lens of Scripture and history?In this episode, we take a careful, biblical look at feminism across its waves and explore how it has reshaped the household, diminished fatherhood, and replaced covenant with systems. Using the concept of the “longhouse,” we trace how responsibility has been displaced, authority flattened, and formation outsourced—often with devastating consequences for men, women, and especially children.We walk through each wave of feminism, examine key figures and assumptions, and contrast them with the biblical vision of manhood, womanhood, marriage, and family. Along the way, we address common questions: Did Jesus elevate women? Didn’t feminism correct real injustices? What about women working outside the home? And what does Scripture actually say about flourishing?This episode is not about nostalgia or resentment. It is about truth, responsibility, and recovery. It is a call for Christian men to understand the times, reclaim the goodness of God’s design, and faithfully hold the line—for the sake of their homes, their children, and the generations to come.If you care about biblical masculinity, fatherhood, marriage, and what truly leads to life under God’s design, this episode is for you.Support the show
