Ep. 12: How We Talk about Women in the Story with Dr. Kelly Dippolito

What happens when we teach the Bible’s big story and still push key women to the margins—through omission, shorthand, or added shame the text never assigns? In this episode of “The Chick Report,” Dr. Sandra Glahn talks with Dr. Kelly Dippolito about her research on curriculum, the metanarrative of Scripture, and how our storytelling habits shape what people notice (and miss) in the biblical text. Discover:- Why “big story” curriculum often leaves out key figures (like Deborah and the Romans 16 women) and what we lose when we treat them like after-credits. - How we can stop shaming women where Scripture doesn’t—especially in stories like the Samaritan woman at the well and the woman Jesus forgave. - How teachers can move people from biblical familiarity to biblical literacy by telling the whole story with women fully included—and by using open-access art through the Visual Museum to help teach it. Join us as we explore the theme “A Woman’s Place is in the Story”—because when we skip, minimize, or mislabel women in Scripture, we flatten the storyline and miss models of faithful discipleship for the whole church.
