| 0:00.0 | Hello, friends. Welcome back to another episode of Theology in the Raw. I have on the |
| 0:27.8 | show today myself. I'm going to be doing a Q&A podcast for this podcast episode and as many of you |
| 0:35.7 | know, I have a bunch of supporters on Patreon who once a month submit a fund. I'm talking |
| 0:41.3 | fistfuls, folks, fistfuls of questions for me to respond to and because the number of questions |
| 0:47.1 | keeps getting bigger and bigger. I do address about half of them on the Patreon only podcast that |
| 0:53.6 | I release once a month and then I also answer the rest of them on a public podcast, which is |
| 1:00.0 | this one, which usually releases toward the first of the month. So I have a ton of really, really |
| 1:07.6 | good questions almost all, not all, but almost all the questions that they send in are really |
| 1:12.7 | complex, are nuanced, are thoughtful, and they really give me a run for the money. So these questions |
| 1:18.9 | are no different. Let's go ahead and jump in from my first question comes from Jason. Jason says |
| 1:25.6 | it seems like in the complementary versus egalitarian conversation, the thing that doesn't seem to |
| 1:34.5 | be wrestled with is what it means to teach with authority and what do we define as the gathering? |
| 1:39.9 | Can you help us work through what these mean? He has a second part to his question. He says, |
| 1:43.3 | I've also been thinking a lot about disciple making and the fact that I think that women are |
| 1:47.7 | innately better disciple makers than men has the church's suppression of women actually created a |
| 1:54.1 | disciple making crisis in our churches. It's not entirely black and white, but I find women are |
| 1:59.2 | much better at having embodied conversations than men. What can we learn from our sisters in |
| 2:03.7 | Christ that tradition has denied us? Well, it's an interesting question with several different |
| 2:10.0 | angles and I'm going to just express a lot of resonance with where you're going with this, but I |
| 2:15.4 | do want to maybe give some clarity to a few things here. We absolutely have examples of women |
| 2:25.1 | discipling women. Let me back up before I jump in. I'm going to take a neutral stance on the egalitarian |
| 2:31.2 | complementary. I'm not going to argue from a complementary position or from a egalitarian position. |
