33: A Woman's Place — Is in the Story
What if misreading women's stories in Scripture means we've been missing something essential about the heart and character of God?
Dr. Sandra Glahn — theologian, professor at Dallas Theological Seminary, and author of the forthcoming A Woman's Place Is in the Story — joins Christine for a conversation that is equal parts scholarship and soul care. Dr. Glahn has spent decades asking the questions most people are afraid to ask: Where are the women in Scripture not coming through in translation? Where have they been vilified, minimized, or missed entirely? And what does it cost us — men and women alike — when we get the story wrong?
Christine and Dr. Glahn dig into the real cost of male-dominant readings of Scripture, revisit specific biblical women's stories with fresh eyes, and explore how reclaiming women's stories doesn't just dignify women — it restores our picture of the Storyteller himself.
In this episode:
- Why distorted readings of Scripture affect the spiritual formation of both men and women
- Specific biblical women's stories reframed (think: survivor instead of sinner and evangelist instead of assistant)
- Nicodemus at night vs. the Samaritan woman at noon — what John's light/dark motif is really doing
- What "helper" actually means in Hebrew (hint: it's not hamburger helper)
- Why women are leaving the church — and how a more faithful reading of scripture can remedy that
- Practical next steps for anyone ready to dig deeper
This one is for the woman who's wondered why God seems to have more to say to everyone else and for the man who wants to better dignify women and champion their gifts. Because as Christine promises, “The deeper we dig, the gooder God gets.”
