Ep. 15 | God Is A (Wo)Man?
Mar 16, 2021 Season 1
Ciara Wieland and Jessi Bridges

The topic of gender and gender identity has taken centerstage in the postmodern cultural revolution we find ourselves in today. Christians are being forced to contend with the allegation that God's creation of male and female is somehow more nuanced and complex than just either/or. Not surprisingly, this manufactured complexity, which rests in fighting back against anything appearing "oppressive," has led to the same debate over the gender of God himself. Today, Ciara and Jessi dissect the questions that have only recently come up around God's gender and answer them using Biblical truth and just a touch of patriarchy.
