Heather, Scripture's been twisted to keep women in bondage and to promote a patriarchy movement that's grossly misogynist.

Welcome to The Roy's Report, a podcast dedicated to reporting the truth and restoring the church.

I'm Julie Roy's.

And joining me today is Rebecca Davis, author of a series of books on untwisting

the scriptures that were used to tie you up, gag you, and tangle your mind. And on this episode,

we'll be examining the focus of Rebecca's second book in her series, Patriarchy and Authority.

Many of the leaders in the patriarchy movement like Doug Phillips and Bill Gothard

have largely been discredited, but unfortunately their ideas live on.

And today, Rebecca and I unpack popular teachings like, women are too emotional to interpret Scripture, so they need a husband or a father to reveal God's will to them.

Children obey your parents all the time in every way and forever.

The umbrella heresy, which asserts that those in a position of authority over you

provide a spiritual covering and protection for you. And loyalty is a virtue, even if it means

sacrificing righteousness. Maybe you've heard some of these teachings, and you've

wondered if that's what the Bible really teaches. Well, today we'll examine the scriptures,

and you may be surprised by what the Bible actually says. But before we dive in, I'd like to

thank the sponsors of this podcast, Judson University and Markort of Barrington. Judson has been an incredible partner

and supporter of this ministry, and I'm truly grateful for the school's commitment to the truth
