Feminism has been accepted as an undisputed force for good in our society and, in many places, also in the church. But what have been some of the damaging effects of Feminism and how should we, the church, go about heralding the better story of God's good design for men and women given to us in the Bible?

In this podcast episode, our Senior Minister, Willie Philip, interviews Sharon James to discuss these issues. Sharon is an experienced academic, author, and public speaker on these issues. She draws on her expert command of the subject as well as on years of experience of Pastoral ministry and personal family life to shed light on this difficult issue.

This podcast was recorded during Sharon's visit to The Tron Church in March 2025 and you can find other resources and recordings from her time with us at https://tron.church/critical theory.
