Defending Christianity Podcast
The message of the Gospel is attacked every day by restless efforts and empty philosophies of this world. That is why Defending Christianity isn’t about making meaningless arguments or attempting to provoke empty debates– it is about preserving the redeeming message of the cross of Christ by using logic and reason to communicate why Christianity best explains reality.

How Old Testament Laws About Women Reveal God's Justice (Part 1)
How are we to make sense of Old Testament Laws about women? Many today claim that God is sexist, wanting men to dominate and control women. What is there to say about such laws?
Today, Levi talks with Dr. Katie McCoy, Assistant Professor of Theology in Women's Studies at the College at Southwestern Seminary. Dr. McCoy holds a Ph.D. in Systematic Theology from Southwestern. Her dissertation is on Old Testament laws about women's personhood and what they teach us about women's dignity and social justice. Dr. McCoy is also the director of the Women’s Ministry for the Baptist General Convention of Texas.
