18 - Is the Bible Anti-Woman? - Guest Bonnie Lewis

In this episode Bonnie Lewis offers to discuss emails she received about the topic of 'women in leadership'.  It becomes clear as the conversation moves forward, the she has clearly faced opposition in the evangelical/non-denominational church culture where she is not treated as an equal teaching leader among men.  The stance of the complementation view is still held by many.  And while respected, we would feel that holding fast to this view could offer a hurdle for many to see our beautiful Jesus, who delights in the gifts of both his discipled men and women. Some people out there say, "why aren't there any good women (Biblical) teachers out there?"  We'd say because, no one will them teach. Bonnie is an exceptional teacher, and available for booking as you may have a need.   And were not talking about your cookie decorating, cute, and crafty women's ministry event.

144 - The Bible, Beth Moore, and Domestic Abuse.

In October of 2015, Mike Erre launched the VOX Podcast upon a season of struggling with the church's efforts to represent who Jesus is, what he's done, and what he is doing on this earth today.  Committed to Talk About Anything, Mike quickly engaged into many of culture's most challenging conversations around the LGBTQ community, American politics, church politics, and Christian culture's catastrophe of marginalizing the very people that Jesus himself would associate with.
