Dive into episode 8 of the Make Peace With War podcast's Church-ish series where we put the spotlight on women in ministry. We break down the outdated notion that women can't hold top-level leadership roles in the church, discussing both complementarian and egalitarian perspectives and explaining where the former might miss the mark.

The episode stresses the vital importance of women's voices in the church. We go beyond merely questioning traditional viewpoints and champion the idea that female leadership brings essential balance and enrichment to our faith communities. Don't miss this engaging and enlightening episode that's sure to spark important conversations about gender equality within the church.

Join us in this very timely episode of the Make Peace With War podcast's Church-ish series, where we candidly tackle the touchy subjects of money, access, and power in today's churches. We dissect the 'pay-to-play' approach - its beginnings, its effects, and why it's so widespread. We also spotlight the need for financial openness in promoting a healthier spiritual community.

This isn't just about challenging norms - it's a rally cry for everyone - leaders and members - to reevaluate and reshape a more welcoming, balanced, and Christ-focused church. Join us as we challenge both the status quo and ourselves.

This is Part 6 of the MPW series called "Church-ish", where I and my co-hosts, Jennifer Foster and Natalie Biggs, dive into some of the idiosyncrasies and challenges of the modern-day church and discuss some of the things that need to be changed to better love people and make disciples.

In this episode, we dive into some deep conversations with my friend and Natalie's husband, Jason Biggs, about the “bubble” culture that is experienced in some churches. We get pretty personal and explore the idea of “quiet firing”, the unhealthy “all in or all out” mindset and what it is like when deep relationships are torn apart as a result of these toxic issues.

We also discuss what can be done to stop those things from destroying relationships.
