Bible: Sexism & the Church

TRIGGER WARNING!  This episode discusses sexual assault and rape.   This week, Derek and Lisa target the various ways that conservative churches use to manipulate women into fulfilling specific gender roles.  It also tackles the touchy topics of patriarchy, greed, and power that punish women for wanting to be a full person assisting with ministry as called by God.  Lisa discusses her personal experiences from childhood through adulthood and draws a line in the sand between choice and expectation that is enforced via punishment.  Please be aware that a significant portion of this week's episode also explores women's sexuality and the sexual abuses that are exploited to blame and shame women into compliance.  We hope you'll thoughtfully listen and perhaps interact with us on this very important topic.
