Summary

Explore "God the Father is Not Male" as we dive into the complex and nuanced conversation about how Christianity portrays God's gender and the implications for modern faith. The hosts unpack theological perspectives, cultural challenges, and the role of the church in addressing divisive societal issues. How does cruciformity shape our understanding of God as Father? What does Jesus' life and teachings reveal about justice, gender, and identity? Through humility and critical thinking, the Voxology Podcast investigates the layers of faith, theology, and cultural engagement within a patriarchal world.

This episode also challenges common perceptions of masculinity in faith, examining the tension between historical language and God's actual character. Join Mike and Tim as they reflect on the interplay between faith and politics, navigating cultural shifts, and exploring the profound ways Jesus subverts societal norms.

We encourage discussion and would love to hear your thoughts—engage the conversation on Facebook, Instagram, or email us directly. Let's journey together as we pursue deeper understanding and justice through the teachings of Jesus.
