Jeannette explores women's unique roles in Advent in this episode with special guest Jill Lin. Jill is a stay-at-home mom with an education and background in history, theology, and languages. An immigrant from England now living in the United States, Jill has been part of churches from several diverse denominations, each giving her a rich experience of the Christian faith.

She discusses how Elizabeth supports and affirms Mary's unique calling and sheds new light on Anna, the first female evangelist. The conversation challenges prevailing complementarian views, underscoring that women's roles should neither be pigeonholed nor disregarded because God elevates women irrespective of societal norms and customs.

Have you ever been mistaken as the assistant when actually you were the leader in charge? If you're a female leader, chances are good this has happened to you a time or two.  This subtle form of gender bias is called role incredulity. It’s usually unintentional and seems harmless, but it creates obstacles for women and contributes to systemic gender inequity in organizations. Role incredulity even affects women in the Bible resulting in inaccuracies in translations. It's a real problem that we need to talk about.
