Episodes
Biblical Womanhood: Princess or Pioneer?
April 09, 2018 16:24 - 1 hour - 34.5 MBI don't know about you, but when I hear the phrase "biblical womanhood", I think of women on Twitter who are upset that there are other groups of women who throw Jane Austen parties to celebrate a time when Biblical womanhood was thing. In fact, we don't actually think of Bible verses or strong definitions, or something to strive for—we think of how offended the phrase often makes us. It's truly no wonder, given how confused our generation is about how many genders there are, that the church...
Incrementalism is Like Lipstick on a Pig
April 02, 2018 21:19 - 1 hour - 41.4 MBThe girls are joined for this episode by Zachary Conover, the Communication Director for End Abortion Now. He has been to pro-life conferences, interviewed the major players in the pro-life movement, and travelled (alongside Joy!) to Ireland to help churches fight to keep abortion illegal there. He helps us think through why the Pro-Life Movement has largely been a failure, why incremental legislation is like putting lipstick on a pig (our words, not his), and why Christians should have a ra...
The Curious Case of Benjaman Kyle
March 26, 2018 15:58 - 55 minutes - 38.2 MBThis week Joy dissects the curious case of Benjaman Kyle—a man who woke up behind a dumpster in 2004 and couldn't remember his name, or where he had been for the previous 21 years of his life. Good samaritans embark on a mission to help him find his identity. He ends up all over the news, on Dr. Phil, and with groups all over the country wanting to help. But did Benjaman want help? The post The Curious Case of Benjaman Kyle appeared first on Sheologians.
Justice, Science, & The Death Penalty
March 19, 2018 21:28 - 57 minutes - 39.6 MBThis week Summer talks the Cameron Todd Willingham case. Willingham was put to death for setting his house on fire, resulting in the death of his three children. But his case wasn't cut and dry. His Led Zeppelin posters turned the public's opinion against him. Once a world-renowned fire scientist got involved, the evidence that put Willingham away became heavily circumspect. So what do we do in a world where justice is desired, vengeance is common, the courts are corrupt, and "science" can't...

March 12, 2018 17:18 - 58 minutes - 47.1 MBSomeone presented an interesting question to Joy: Can God be in the presence of sin?

Smash the Patriarchy: How Men Helped Create Feminism & What To Do About it
March 05, 2018 19:44 - 43 minutes - 30 MBThis week we want to get real with you about the Patriarchy. It's out there, and you can fight it, but are you even sure what you're fighting for? If the Bible says women must obey their husbands, and their husband is abusive, where does that leave women? Are we willing to admit that the first wave of feminists were responding to large-scale abuses by men? The answer is yes, and we are about to explain why! The post Smash the Patriarchy: How Men Helped Create Feminism & What To Do About it ...
Women Behind the Pulpit: What Does the Bible Say?
February 26, 2018 19:35 - 48 minutes - 27.9 MBWe do not believe that women can be pastors because Scripture tells us as much. But let's be honest, a lot of us hold to this view "because Scripture says so." Scripture saying so is the number reason to do or not to do something. While we believe that wholeheartedly, in the very gender-confused and feminist-saturated culture we live in, it is not enough to know what you believe—you must also know why you believe it. So that is why this week, we are taking a very short amount of time to expl...

February 20, 2018 18:09 - 56 minutes - 32.4 MBComing to the table of the Lord in peace with one another is a huge deal, and our bodies are supposed to be spent in service to the Lord.

Jesus and Politics with Allie Stuckey
February 13, 2018 02:33 - 56 minutes - 52 MBThe Conservative Millennial, Allie Stuckey, is a force to be reckoned with. We did not know what we were going to get when we asked her to come on the show, but we were just blown away. Normally we get to hear her on FOX, NBC, or MSNBC in short bits and pieces giving her [extremely accurate, punchy, and beneficial] ten cents on what's going on in the political world. Today we get to hear why she believes it is important that Christians are able to articulate their faith, understand politics ...

You Already Love Yourself Too Much (Self-Esteem is A Lie)
January 22, 2018 21:15 - 38 minutes - 31 MBThe natural end of a desire to esteem yourself is suicide. That's a hefty statement, but we spend a lot of time this week trying to think through a natural desire that is in all of us--self-obsession. The world tells us that we need to see the beauty in ourselves, we just need to "think positive", and that we need to think better of ourselves. The Bible says our value is not self-actuating, but that God is the source. So how do we Biblically avoid the pitfalls of self-esteem, self-loathing, ...
Postmodern Power Tripping
January 15, 2018 17:24 - 47 minutes - 38.1 MBThe consequences of ideas can hardly be overstated. Artists that draw graphic images of the female anatomy on sidewalks are hailed in the media has "empowering women" everywhere. Meanwhile, women in many countries are sold as child brides and sex slaves. Postmodernism has truly caused us to lose all meaningful definitions of empowerment and oppression. It's not just on a global scale that we can see the damaging effects of the postmodern power narrative—it's in our daily lives, too. So what'...
Identity, Idolatry, and House Keys
January 08, 2018 21:38 - 1 hour - 56 MBThis week we are blessed to have Rosaria Butterfield back on the show.

Feminism Can’t Save You (But the Gospel Can)
December 18, 2017 20:16 - 44 minutes - 25.3 MBIt has been true since Adam and Eve that men and women contribute to society in different ways, and because of our distinct biologies, we will naturally take on different roles.
