Asking for a Friend

Women are expected to be quiet and meek…but what happens when we aren’t? What does that look like in our marriages, especially if our husband has a quieter personality than you? Join us as we discuss marriage and battle those feelings that we are “too strong” when we are anything but quiet and meek!

Join us next week for Episode 13 as we recap the big things that happened in 2019 that impacted women, culture and the Church!

Today we are jumping in with a bonus episode to recap the "Women in the Church" series. Kara-Kae and Elizabeth chat through the high points of the three-episode series and talk about their big takeaways. Join us for this special bonus episode to go a little deeper into the topic from their perspectives!

Kara-Kae and Elizabeth continue their three-part discussion on women in the Church by asking the question, “Should women lead in the Church?” Today they interview Mary Alice Birdwhistell, senior pastor at Calvary Baptist Church in Waco, Texas. Mary Alice presents the egalitarian point of view and offers great insight into her own calling as a pastor and advice for other women who feel led to lead in a church.

If you missed Episode 9 (where we introduced the topic of women leading in the Church) and/or Episode 10 (where we interviewed complementarian pastor John Durham), we highly recommend you go back and listen to those episodes, then join us for this episode, Episode 11.

Join us next week for Episode 12 as we discuss the crazy holiday season and answer the question “How can the holidays be more meaningful?”

Kara-Kae and Elizabeth continue their discussion on women in the Church by asking the question, “Should women lead in the Church?” Today they interviewed Pastor John Durham from Highland Baptist Church in Waco, Texas. John describes himself as a “kind complementarian” and leads listeners through what it means to affirm and support women in ministry while still holding to a complementarian view of women in the church.

If you missed Episode 9—the first part of our three-part series—we highly recommend you go back and listen to that episode first, then dive into this episode.
