In spite of how inflammatory the title might sound, this week's episode encourages us to use the language of the Bible whenever possible. Lisa lists five reasons that she no longer uses the word "headship" and is instead careful to use the phrasing of the Scripture.  Lisa also introduces a new show segment where she will recommend a book that has helped disciple her. She starts out with A Long Obedience in the Same Direction by Eugene Peterson.  You can find Lisa on her blog or on Instagram!  If you click links in show notes and purchase anything, Lisa will receive a small commission from that purchase at no extra cost to you.
