Mary Magdalene

In this thought-provoking discussion, Mary Magdalene, known as 'an apostle to the apostles,' and Junia, recognized by scholars as potentially an apostle, dive into the roles of women in the early church. They explore whether Mary and Junia held significant apostolic authority, contrasting egalitarian and complementarian views. The conversation highlights the theological implications of women's ministry and leadership, backed by scriptural evidence and historical accounts, challenging traditional perspectives on women's roles in church leadership.

Mary Magdalene mistakes the risen Christ for a gardener until He says her name. Jesus appears to the disciples, but Thomas needs to see Him to believe. Thomas gets to see Jesus, and peace is the message for everyone. Erick and Daniel discuss all of this in an insightful podcast.

Wesley Huff, a scholar dedicated to demystifying Christian history, dives deep into the misconceptions around Mary Magdalene. He discusses her true historical significance versus popular culture narratives. The conversation critically examines Gnostic texts and controversies, including debates about Jesus's marital status. Misunderstandings about Mary being Jesus's wife or related to him in other ways are debunked, emphasizing her role as a key disciple. Huff urges listeners to rely on authentic sources for a clearer understanding of Jesus and Mary Magdalene's true relationship.
