And while these views are continuously growing in popularity, they are increasingly at odds with Biblical values and God's original design.

But what is God's design for women? What does restoring Biblical and healthy relationship dynamics between men and women look like? How can we navigate the differences between the world's idea of womanhood and the Bible's?

In this episode, Jordan talks with author Lisa Bevere about how society has negatively impacted our view of femininity and what it means to be a woman of God in today’s society.  

Tune in to learn:

• The surprising historical roots and implications of feminism
• How today's culture is changing our view of womanhood and femininity
• The meaning behind "the future is female"
• How modern-day feminism hurts male and female relationships, family dynamics, and marriage
