How Should Women Biblically Respond to Prejudice?

Should women vote? A viral video makes bold claims about women, leadership, and politics—but what does the Bible actually say? In this episode, Dr. E responds to a controversial perspective that blurs the lines between cultural opinion and biblical truth. He unpacks commonly misused passages, addresses the role of women in Scripture, and explains why Christians must be careful not to fuse political ideologies with their faith. From Eve and Proverbs 31 to Ephesians 5 and 1 Peter 3, this conversation brings clarity to what the Bible really teaches about men, women, and leadership—while pointing us back to what matters most: Christ’s unchanging authority over a chaotic world. No matter how loud the culture gets, believers are called to think critically, live faithfully, and rest in the sovereignty of Jesus.
