Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley are joined by Dr. Katie McCoy to ask the question: If God created men and women to live as complements to one another, why do we find so much division and brokenness and confusion between men and women?

Questions Covered in This Episode:

If God created men and women to live as complements to one another, why do we find so much division and brokenness and confusion between men and women?
How might Greek philosophy have impacted the way we think about these things?
Has there ever been a time when it has been more confusion to address questions of manhood or womanhood?
How did Aristotle subvert the Hebrew world view in our own thinking about our faith? Why have we lost this heritage?
Walk us through the most difficult Old testament law for women to read and help us see how our own presuppositions cause us to fear it and how we should resolve it?
How would you respond to someone who told you - “Listen, why are you even trying to make this work...the OT is a misogynistic document that subjugates women to male control.”
