#44 – A Generous Complementarianism
Knowing Faith
Introduction
You're listening to knowing faith, a podcast of training the church. I'm joined by my co host, jin wilkin in j t, english. And on today's episode, we're talking about complimentarianism and what our vision for generous complimentarianism is.
On this episode of Knowing Faith, Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley talk about something that’s been getting a lot of buzz: complementarianism. What does it mean and how can we practice this well within the church?
Questions Covered in This Episode:
- What is complementarianism?
- Why do we care about this doctrine?
- How should theological method play a role in the complementarianism discussion?
- What arguments are put forward in regards to trinitarianism?
- Our views on complementarianism have to live in the tensions of scripture: What is New Testament preaching? How do we synthesize 1 Cor. 14 with 1 Tim. 2? What is the nature of authority?
- What offices of the church are available to men?
- What offices of the church are available to women?
Helpful Definitions:
- Complementarianism: All humans, both male and female, have been created in God’s image. We share in dignity, power, authority, the mission of God; but men and women are not interchangeable; they are distinct.
- Theological method: How do you appropriately draw conclusions from the bible.
- Eternal functional subordination: A position that subordinates the Son’s divine will to the Father’s divine will.
Resources Mentioned in This Episode:
- 1 Timothy 2, Judges 5:2-31
- TVC The Role of Women Short
- TVC The Role of Women Long
