Untwisting the Bible on Authority and Patriarchy [110]

In some Christian circles, the Bible is misused in order to control and neutralize half of the human race through a human construct called Patriarchy. In this interview with Rebecca Davis, we talk about what Patriarchy is, how it destroys women and families, and why it is not something the Bible promotes — but rather exposes. This episode is for women who:Feel like the Bible has only ever been used as a weapon to harm them.Wonder what Patriarchy is and how it has influenced their thinking and faith communities.Can’t understand why they, often willingly and joyfully, bought into a system based on lies and abuse.Wish they could strip away all the religious B.S. and discover peace, safety, and the real Jesus. Access the transcript, read the show notes, and/or ask Natalie a question here Related Resources:Untwisting Scriptures: Patriarchy and Authority Book 2Untwisting Scriptures That Were Used to Tie You Up, Gag You, and Tangle Your MindRebecca’s blogIf you are a Christian woman who thinks you may be in an emotionally destructive marriage, learn more at https://flyingfreenow.comI'll send you (free!) the first chapter of my book, Is It Me?
