#67: Men and Women Working Together (with Danielle Strickland)

Author and conference speaker Danielle Strickland joined me on The Puddcast this week to discuss how women and men can work together for a brighter future, one in which girl’s self-confidence doesn’t peak at 9 years old, where 1 in 3 women will not experience unwanted sexual attention and where men don’t live in fear of sexual accusation. We discussed power, fear, corruption and the Billy Graham rule, too. Whoever you are, you need to listen to this!

#58: Decentering whiteness (with Gricel Medina)

My guest this week is Pastor Gricel Medina. Serving in the Evangelical Covenant Church, Gricel has been involved in planting and mentoring multi-ethnic church congregations and has served on a number of boards and committees for racial gender equity, among many other things. She shared her powerful life story and we discussed the problems of a white-centric and male-centric church leadership culture. Get ready!

#6: Rethinking Women in Ministry

A friend of mine grew up in a strict Christian tradition where women weren't allowed to minister to men. Years have passed since then but she still finds herself feeling guilty or confused about what exactly it was that Paul said to Timothy. She asked me for my thoughts on women in ministry, and so you get a whole podcast out of it. Strap yourselves in, this one is full of fire!
