When I became a Christian I was told, women are emotional (a bad thing) and that anything like anxiety or fear was a sin. Of course Paul’s Philippians quote was used to back that thinking. Was that good teaching?

In a previous episode, I laid out a theological argument for brother sister narrative instead of the “danger romance” narrative.

Today I'm talking with my friends, those I've intentionally built deep relationships with, people I've done life with for decades. Our family group has served together inside and outside the church. We've prepared and eaten many meals and vacationed together in Vancouver, New Hampshire, and Costa Rica. We celebrated birthdays and holidays. We watched each other's kids grow up and know each other's, extended families.

Why can't men and women be friends? At least in the conservative Christian community, we have answered it with an anemic, wanting, and unbiblical answer.
