The Lead PodcastShow Notes
🎧 This Week on The Lead Podcast: Redefining Women’s Role in Theology and Leadership with Dr. Amy Peeler
Join host Amy Orr-Ewing as she sits down with Dr. Amy Peeler—professor, theologian, and author—to challenge traditional perceptions about women in theology and leadership. Together, they explore how historical misinterpretations, like viewing Eve as naïve or gullible, have fueled the infantilization of women in faith and theology. Dr. Peeler shares compelling insights on mutual submission, the biblical foundation for egalitarianism, and even instances where Jesus demonstrates submission to women.
In this eye-opening episode, Amy and Dr. Peeler discuss: How a fresh reading of Eve can empower women's voices in faith The biblical and practical case for men and women leading together Why mutual submission strengthens leadership, both in the church and the workplace Groundbreaking perspectives on Jesus’s interactions with women as a model for empowering leadership
Dr. Peeler’s reflections invite listeners to embrace a deeper, more inclusive vision of faith and leadership rooted in equality and collaboration.
🙏 Tune in for an inspiring conversation on faith, identity, and the power of shared leadership.

Where is God in all the Suffering? When pain, injustice, and loss seem overwhelming, this question brings us to the heart of the Christian faith. In this final session of Where Is God in All the Suffering?, Amy Orr-Ewing explores the uniqueness of Jesus — not as a distant observer of suffering, but as the one who enters into it. Drawing on Scripture, prophecy, and theology, she reveals how the story of Jesus is centred on a God who willingly suffers for humanity.
Where is God when suffering comes through natural disasters? When earthquakes, famines, floods, and disease devastate lives, this question becomes impossible to ignore. In this session of Where Is God in All the Suffering?, Amy Orr-Ewing explores the challenge of natural suffering — not caused by human choice, but by the forces of the natural world itself. Drawing on real examples, science, Christian theology, and Scripture, she asks whether our understanding of God can make sense of a world where the very processes that sustain life can also bring destruction.
Where is God when suffering is caused by the violence and evil of others? When children are abused, when women are violated, when war and cruelty devastate lives, this question becomes impossible to ignore.
In this episode, we turn to one of the most deeply human questions of all: Where is God when our inner world feels broken?
Illness has a way of shaking us — not only in body, but in identity, dignity, and hope. Whether it comes suddenly or slowly, sickness raises some of the hardest questions we ever ask: Why does my body fail me? Where is God when pain won’t lift? Why are some healed and others not?
