In today's episode, Becket Cook welcomes theologian and author Aaron Edwards back to the show to discuss his latest article, “The Feminist Gaze and the Wisdom of God,” and the growing controversy surrounding the Church of England’s stance on same-sex blessings, the “Living in Love and Faith” process, and shifting theology within Anglican leadership.

Aaron shares why he became a “theologian in academic exile,” explains how progressive theology often pits Jesus vs. Paul to reinterpret Scripture, and explores why that approach ultimately undermines biblical authority and historic Christian teaching. Together, they examine feminism in the church, cultural pressure on clergy, the role of compromise in mainline denominations, and what it means to trust the wisdom of God over the wisdom of the age.
