Ep 68: The "Is There a Place for Female Professors at Seminary?" Edition — 01.30.18

This week the WTD Crew - Ashley, Elijah, and Ryan - look at a blog post by Pastor John Piper asking the question, is it biblical for a woman to teach at a seminary. The Crew breaks down the concepts of egalitarian and complimentarian while discussing Piper’s views. Can patriarchy be divorced from complimentarian systems of interpretation? Does egalitarianism free itself of patriarchal confines? Ashley, Elijah, and Ryan attempt to unravel some of these concepts as well as discuss their own personal positions.

The team digs in a bit further to look at white meritocracy, black ownership, and the latest Jay-Z album. Plus, the word for this week is still "hot"! :-)

*A WTD Classic Episode from the Vault. This conversation was originally recorded in May 2017, and released as a 2-part podcast. Given the popularity of and demand for this episode we wanted to release it as one whole podcast for more people to easily share and use as a resource.

Have we got a treat for you this week! Ashley, Elijah, and Ryan talk with Dr. Robin DiAngelo, author of What Does It Mean to Be White and Is Everyone Really Equal, about prejudice, racism, discrimination, white fragility, and white privilege. Dr. DiAngelo received her PhD in Whiteness Studies from the University of Washington in 2004, and she's been wrestling with her own whiteness for even longer as a diversity trainer.
