Conversations for Life

Join the conversation today as we discuss what Genesis 1 tells us about masculinity and femininity in God's original design and how this guides us as we seek to live out our faith in the modern world. Along the way, we'll talk about the temptation to view a woman's choice of how to participate in society through categories of "right" and "wrong," rather than biblical wisdom. We'll also answer the question, "Can a man read a book on the Bible or theology written by a woman?" And much more.

This week we continue our discussion about God as our Heavenly Father. We bring the discussion into our emotional, relational, and everyday life, and discuss what sanctification looks like when it involves the whole person.

Why does God reveal Himself in masculine ways, and direct us to call Him Father? Are people who say we should abandon this kind of language right? How should we relate to God as Father when we've experienced pain, trauma, and hurt from the hands of our earthly father? Join us today as we discuss Scripture's teaching on God as our heavenly Father.

There are passages in God's law that might cause a woman to wonder her worth. But in fact, the law was written to protect women and communicate their worth as image bearers of God. Join us as we discuss some of the more difficult passages related to women in the Old Testament law, as well as cultural values that are different from our own. 

What does God think about women? Does the Bible support misogyny? What should we do with stories in Scripture that seem silent, or even supportive of the mistreatment of women? In this conversation Kathleen and I talk about a topic that is highly sensitive, yet vital for believers today, especially for women.
