- Struggling with Submission
Thoroughly Equipped Season 2 Episode 39
Submission is often a controversial topic, and in Evangelical Women’s ministry is often ignored. But Scripture has a lot to say about submission.
Do you struggle with submitting to your husband? You are not alone! Today I have a guest on T.E. where we want to share with you our struggles with submitting and how theology plays a role in understanding submission.
May this episode bless you and bring glory to God!

52 min - Using D.E.I. to Fundamentally Change the Church
Thoroughly Equipped Season 2 Episode 38
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion has been a hot topic in the economic sphere, but it’s actually not limited there. This anti-racist infiltration has made a huge mark in the education realm and now has for the last couple of years gained access to Christian institutions and organizations.
Under the last step given to white bridge builders in the Be the Bridge 101 guide, Be the Bridge exposes their desire to fundamentally change the church by defeating the white supremacy within it. How do they believe this work is done? Through Diversity, Equity and Inclusion training But not merely diversifying the leadership, but working toward equity and inclusion of, not only race, but theological views.
How might diversity, equity, and inclusion come into your church? Let’s dive in…
Topics include:
- How Be the Bridge uses a false historical narrative to urge it’s readers to become “Accomplices” within the American Church.
- How Anti-Racist presuppositions can influence how one sees the Church’s role in the Abolitionist Movement
- The difference between diversity, equity, and inclusion and how they are being used to challenge Headship and Authority in the Church
- How D.E.I. is ultimately a rebellion against God and Christ’s institution of Authority in the Church.

1 hr - Training Christians to Divide: White Fragility
Thoroughly Equipped Season 2 Episode 37
Be the Bridge Ministry has it’s white bridge builders start with teaching them about their whiteness; hoping to help them learn humility and grow in racial righteousness. The Be The Bridge 101 Guide: Foundational Principals Every White Bridge Builder Needs to Know helps gives white people 4 steps to addressing their whiteness; White Identity, White Privilege, White Fragility, and White Supremacy.
We have addressed the first 2 in the last episode and are going to talk about the 3 foundational principle in this one: White Fragility. We will ask questions about white fragility to help us see what’s behind the idea.
Topics Include:
- What is white fragility?
- What spurs it on?
- What cultural ideas ignite white fragility in white people? Are they ideas worth being challenged and cast aside?
- What are the presuppositions behind white fragility?
- Is teaching white people to over come white fragility a good or bad thing? Does overcoming it, as we are instructed in Be The Bridge 101, actually bring unity to God’s people?
- White fragility and real racism
- How do we as Christians REALLY become humble and fight ethnic hatred and false bias?
May this episode bless you and bring glory to God!

1 hr 4 min - Be The Bridge 101- Training Christians to Decenter Whiteness
Thoroughly Equipped Season 2 Episode 36
Latasha Morrison made the New York Times Best Seller list for her book Be The Bridge. While the book informs Christians of the importance of racial reconciliation, it’s also the gateway into her training program/ministry of the same name. To become a Bridge Builder, we are told to follow the Be the Bridge Face Book group. In signing up for the group ALL members are required to silently observe the conversation in the group and do the REQUIRED reading of the guides before commenting and entering into the conversation.
Today I will present to you their first required reading for white people titled Be the Bridge 101: Foundational Principals Every White Bridge Builder Needs to Know and the first 2 tenants of Whiteness, white people must learn about so they can start leveraging their whiteness; identify their white heritage, divest themselves of their pride, privilege, & fragility, and fight against white supremacy as ani-racists.
Topics include:
- What is the Be the Bridge Ministry?
- Should white Christians identify with their white heritage to reconcile and unify with POC?
- Is privilege a sin?
- What is oppression and how do we fight it according to Scripture?
- We look at some of the privileges Be the Bridge says white people have. Are they actual privileges based on race?
May this episode bless you and bring glory to God!

- Be the Bridge, Critical Race Theory, & White SupremacyThoroughly Equipped Season 2 Episode 33Exposing how the American Christian Church is accepting the tenants of Critical Race Theory through Be the Bridge's ministry on racial reconciliation. This "ministry" trains people to believe that racism is systemic and white people are complicit and/or are racist by perpetuating the system because they do not act against it through leveraging their privilege and working toward equity.Resources used for this episode:Be the Bridge by Latasha MorrisonGeneral Commission on Religion and Race of the UMC YT Channel video titled "Deconstructing White Privilege w/Rodin DiAngelo" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwIx3KQer54&t=2sVoddie Baucham discusses systemic racism in America https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-78uxfwwsy4RightNow Media Be the Bridge Session 1 video https://app.rightnowmedia.org/en/content/details/770972Be the Bridge Podcast- Ep.103 White Awake: An Honest Look at What it Means to be White w/Daniel Hill https://open.spotify.com/episode/7l54bWoy6lLOkLHybM1wyzGrace to You John MacArthur -Social Justice and the Gospel 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOLdwfvJVEsRelated Resources:https://podcasts.strivingforeternity.org/programs/prescribed-truth/what-is-critical-race-theory/48 min
- Critical Race Theory as an Analytical Tool?Thoroughly Equipped S.2 Ep.32What is Critical Race Theory? What does it teach? Should Critical Race Theory be used as an analytical tool? And is this theory something you should worry about?In this episode I interview Andrew Rappaport from the Rapp Report to tackle these questions.Before we dive into the Be the Bridge ministry and other racial reconciliation ministries promoted at the IF:Gathering, we need to lay the ground work and look at the presuppositions that come with Critical Race Theory. This way when we look at these ministries and what they claim and teach, we will see how they incorporate CRT as an analytical tool and assume certain things in regards to racism and white superiority.If we get the problem wrong, the solution will be wrong. If we misdiagnose the problem there will be no reconciliation. So will incorporating Critical Race Theory as an analytical tool help the church with racial reconciliation? Does it accurately diagnose the problem?May this episode bless you and bring glory to God!If you wish to know more about Thoroughly Equipped feel free to check out my website at ttew.orgResources from Andrew Rappaport:https://podcasts.strivingforeternity.org/show/apologetics-live/https://podcasts.strivingforeternity.org/show/the-rapp-report/Striving For Eternity website:https://strivingforeternity.org/Other Resources on this topic:https://podcasts.strivingforeternity.org/programs/rapp-report/what-are-the-dangers-critical-race-theory-poses-to-the-church/https://podcasts.strivingforeternity.org/programs/prescribed-truth/what-is-critical-race-theory/https://podcasts.strivingforeternity.org/programs/echo-zoe/justin-peters-discernment/1 hr 29 min
About Thoroughly Equipped
From the publisher's feed
Have you ever thought about the Popular Evangelical Women’s Ministry in America today? Do you read books by female ministers, attend their "bible" studies, and sold-out conferences? Do you ever wonder if these produce the maturity they claim to encourage? Perhaps you have spent hours reading books and attending conferences and feel no more mature in your Christian walk than you did 5, 10, or even 20 years ago? Or maybe you're a discerning woman who understands that there is something wrong but can’t put your finger on it or articulate why there seems to be a problem.
Thoroughly Equipped is a podcast for women-centered on Sola Scriptura. This is the doctrine that the Scriptures are all we need for salvation and spiritual living. They are God-breathed and useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness so the man or woman of God may be... not a little, not even a lot, but THOROUGHLY/COMPLETELY equipped for EVERY good work.
This podcast takes the popular Evangelical Women’s ministry teachings, books, podcasts, conferences, "bible" studies, etc., and compares them to Scripture. The purpose of which is to show just how sufficient Scripture is to equip us to be Godly women.
