Pastor With No Answers

Jared Svendsen, executive producer of the show and older brother of the host, stops by to discuss his recent conversion to Eastern Orthodoxy and why despite Joey’s liberal theology, he still sees his brother as a fellow Christian.  Joey also shares a story on how Jared prayed over his little brother "in tongues" when they were teens.  Marlo Schalesky wrote Women of the Bible Speak Out, which is a study of twenty women in Scripture and how God responded to them walking through betrayal, abuse, endangerment, blame, and shame.  Despite their circumstances and labels, this book highlights God’s healing and transforming power, calling these women to wholeness, new vision, and holiness.  In light of her work in this book, we discuss whether the Bible was written for men and what the implications of that would be.  Marlo also does NOT lean into more progressive interpretations of the Bible that would typically make the treatment of women in the Bible more palatable.  Marlo: http://www.marloschalesky.com/.
