Ben welcomes author and speaker Preston Sprinkle back to the show for a candid and thought-provoking conversation about one of the most debated issues in the church today: women in leadership.

Preston, known for tackling controversial topics with humility and depth, shares the three-and-a-half-year theological journey behind his new book, From Genesis to Junia. Rather than starting with a fixed conclusion, he wrestled honestly with Scripture, historical context, and the strongest arguments on both sides of the complementarian vs. egalitarian debate.

What if the loneliness we feel isn’t because we’re weak, but because we’re trying to live in a system that was never meant to work?

Ben reflects on a clip of comedian Trevor Noah about family, and the modern myth of independence, asking whether we’ve traded God’s design for community in exchange for a version of it that’s quietly exhausting us.
