E55: Women's Roles in Public Worship; the Complementarian View - Wes McAdams

In this conversation Kevin and Lee engage in a great conversation with Wes McAdams about women's roles in worship from a complementarian purview. Traditionally, church government, public (pulpit) preaching, and participation in worship in a leadership sense is a role reserved for men in many Orthodox and Protestant denominations, and is the majority position across Christendom, albeit within a range of application accross those denominational lines.
Is this approach the best, most scriptural application? Whether you may agree or disagree with Kevin and Lee's position or with Wes' position, we know you'll be blessed by this conversation.

E54: What Complementarianism REALLY Is - Wes McAdams

Wes McAdams returns to the podcast for a wonderful conversation in which Kevin, Lee, and Wes discuss what Complementarianism is, and more importantly what it is NOT.
Often times, the complementarian view is stated to be one that subjugates women beneath men, that the complementarian view is misogynistic and is a product of a bygone era. But is that REALLY a fair representation of the Complementarian position? You won't want to miss this episode!!

E53: Recognizing and Overcoming our Biases - Dr. Alan Baggett

Dr. Alan Baggett joins Kevin and Lee for a conversation about biases. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE has a bias (or two, or three...) to overcome when engaging with the scriptures, with other people, or even with their own worldview. Recognizing and overcoming those biases is crucial to continued growth in Christ and in love for neighbor.
