Show Notes
Today on the podcast, Katy shares a very important conversation she had with podcaster, author, and theologian Preston Sprinkle about his new book, “From Genesis to Junia: An Honest Look at What the Bible Really Says About Women in Leadership”. Preston and Katy cover a lot of ground including why it took him so long to write on this subject, trad wife culture, Doug Wilson, why context matters as well as the “problem passages” that tend to solidify a complementarian theological view regarding women and how to exegete those passages.
Do us a favor and share this episode with a friend, or maybe even a conservative pastor today. Preston has a unique ability to speak to the conservative Evangelical world on this topic and we really believe this book could be a catalyst for change in the church.

If you grew up hearing that the gifts of the Spirit ended with the book of Acts, this episode asks what happened in between.
In the first episode of Weird Women, we start in a prayer room in St. Louis and with worship leader Chante Rivers, who tells the story of singing “How Great Is Our God” in the middle of the unrest in Ferguson, Missouri in 2014. From there we go back to the first recorded worship leader in Scripture: Miriam, the prophetess who led Israel in song at the Red Sea. Dr. Christopher Hays of Fuller Theological Seminary walks us through the female prophets of the Hebrew Bible, including a scholarly case that Miriam’s song may be older than Moses’.
Today we are sharing the recording from Theology Girls Live on October 2nd with Tara Beth Leach. Tara Beth and Katy discuss what it’s like to be a female pastor, what women’s leadership looked like in scripture and where the church has lost their way. They also discuss challenges female leaders face and Tara Beth offers encouragement for women who feel called to lead.
Today we’re sharing a special conversation with author, theologian, professor, and podcaster, Nijay Gupta. Nijay is the author of many books, including, “Tell Her Story” which released in 2023, as well as upcoming books “Fierce and Faithful” that he wrote with Carmen Joy Imes that launches on October 27th, as well as “God Spoke Through Her” which will be released in the spring. Katy and Nijay chat about his authorship, what it was like to write a book for children as well as lesser known female Bible characters, why soft complementarianism is sometimes counterintuitive and the special call women have on their lives in our current cultural moment.
