Rev. Jocelyn takes a deep dive into the often-overlooked issue of how the church has inadvertently wounded women through its historical practices. Her guests, Tara and Todd Korpi, shed light on the pervasive problem of diminishing women's roles in ministry and discouraging them from embracing leadership positions. Through insightful discussions, the episode delves into the complex process of healing from these church-inflicted wounds while also spotlighting the patriarchal power dynamics that have contributed to this issue. The trio explores strategies for dismantling the existing culture within churches and nurturing an environment where women can truly flourish and embrace their God-given callings.
