What this episode covers
🎙 Podcast Summary:This week on Evangelicalish, Paul and Ashley dive deep into one of the most harmful assumptions passed down through modern Christianity: the belief that God is a being — and a male one, at that. We unpack how this patriarchal image of God blocks relationship, shapes church leadership, and influences cultural values. Together, we explore why reclaiming a more expansive, mysterious view of the Divine is both healing and necessary. Plus, we share the books, films, music, and spiritual practices that inspire us to live with more wonder, love, and liberation — from theology to Taylor Swift, nothing’s off-limits. Including which characters Paul and Ashley most resemble in the movie The Breakfast Club. Join us for this honest, thoughtful, and sometimes irreverent conversation as we remind ourselves and each other: God is not a man.
