This week we want to get real with you about the Patriarchy. It's out there, and you can fight it, but are you even sure what you're fighting for? If the Bible says women must obey their husbands, and their husband is abusive, where does that leave women? Are we willing to admit that the first wave of feminists were responding to large-scale abuses by men? The answer is yes, and we are about to explain why!

We do not believe that women can be pastors because Scripture tells us as much. But let's be honest, a lot of us hold to this view "because Scripture says so." Scripture saying so is the number reason to do or not to do something. While we believe that wholeheartedly, in the very gender-confused and feminist-saturated culture we live in, it is not enough to know what you believe—you must also know why you believe it. So that is why this week, we are taking a very short amount of time to explain the why's, and answer some common objections.

Coming to the table of the Lord in peace with one another is a huge deal, and our bodies are supposed to be spent in service to the Lord. How do we balance all of these things? Pastor Doug Wilson shares some edifying Biblical wisdom on how not to be stuck in bondage to your next meal.

The Conservative Millennial, Allie Stuckey, is a force to be reckoned with. We did not know what we were going to get when we asked her to come on the show, but we were just blown away. Normally we get to hear her on FOX, NBC, or MSNBC in short bits and pieces giving her [extremely accurate, punchy, and beneficial] ten cents on what's going on in the political world. Today we get to hear why she believes it is important that Christians are able to articulate their faith, understand politics and culture, and be engaged in the current political climate. We also get to find out how many cats is too many cats and why Summer's dad has a cat waterfall.

The IF: Gathering is one of the most popular women's conferences today, and we get asked for our thoughts on it all the time. So after some prayer, and several hours of listening to past livestreams, here you go. We hope that you are not such encouraged and edified, but equipped to be able to answer these kinds of questions for yourself!

This week we take a mental break to tell you some of the coolest, craziest, weird, true stories we could find. One of the world's most prolific artists was a fraud and the most impressive bounty hunters on the planet is 4'11. Grab a blanket. It's story time.

The natural end of a desire to esteem yourself is suicide. That's a hefty statement, but we spend a lot of time this week trying to think through a natural desire that is in all of us--self-obsession. The world tells us that we need to see the beauty in ourselves, we just need to "think positive", and that we need to think better of ourselves. The Bible says our value is not self-actuating, but that God is the source. So how do we Biblically avoid the pitfalls of self-esteem, self-loathing, and self-obsession?

The consequences of ideas can hardly be overstated. Artists that draw graphic images of the female anatomy on sidewalks are hailed in the media has "empowering women" everywhere. Meanwhile, women in many countries are sold as child brides and sex slaves. Postmodernism has truly caused us to lose all meaningful definitions of empowerment and oppression. It's not just on a global scale that we can see the damaging effects of the postmodern power narrative—it's in our daily lives, too. So what's the biblical answer? How should we be thinking of power, oppression, and victimhood in a God-honoring way?

This week we are blessed to have Rosaria Butterfield back on the show. And we say blessed because issues related to identity and sexuality (and the idea of sexuality being an identity) are at the forefront of our cultural conversations and Rosaria once again took us to school. What is identity? What is a Christian identity?

The girls go off script this week as promised to discuss two of their favorite conspiracy theories. It's not that we are conspiracy theorists, we just want to convince you that the Titanic didn't actually sink and that Bigfoot is real. Let us know if it worked or not, k?
