This podcast episode features a deep discussion on the impact of feminism within the church and society, highlighting how the traditional roles of men and women have been challenged over the decades.

Zach Garris, author of "Honor Thy Fathers" and "Masculine Christianity" emphasizes the importance of adhering to the teachings of the Reformation, specifically regarding male headship and the roles assigned to women in the home, church, and commonwealth.

Through an exploration of historical figures like John Knox and William Gouge, the conversation underscores the dangers of deviating from these foundational principles, which can lead to a feminization of the church and society.

The episode also critiques contemporary leaders, including Tim Keller and his wife, for their narrow complementarian stance and the implications of their teachings on church practices today. Listeners are encouraged to consider the historical context of these discussions and the potential for reforming modern practices to align more closely with traditional Christian teachings.

Takeaways:

• Garris argues that the church has been slow to address feminist ideologies effectively.
• Evidence from history shows that traditional gender roles have been upheld by Reformers.
• Tim Keller's approach to gender roles has been criticized for being too lenient on feminism.
• The conversation highlights the importance of understanding historical Christian perspectives on gender.
