213. Every Woman a Theologian (with Phylicia Masonheimer)

Today’s podcast guest has deeply impacted my life this year as I've been reading her work and following her on Instagram and I really looked forward to recording this episode with her. It didn't disappoint!

Phylicia Masonheimer is the author of Every Woman a Theologian and founder of the organization with the same name, a ministry that teaches both Christian women and men how to identify what they believe and communicate it in a loving way. In this podcast episode, she shares why theology matters, how what we believe impacts our every day lives, why she believes the Bible is true, how to reconcile some of the hard parts of the Old Testament with the belief that God is good and that women are valued, how to communicate what we believe in a gracious manner, and what it looks like to lean into and rely upon the Holy Spirit.

No matter what you believe, I hope that what Phylicia shares in this episode will challenge you and make you think.
