Thrive Theology
Emily & Bethany equip you to live thoughtfully as a Christian by discussing & teaching various theological topics. We believe every Christian is called to be a theologian because theology isn't just knowing about God, but knowing His heart.
Thrive Theology
The Middle Ages, Women, and the Religious Lives They Led

Season 3

Episode 105
We took a break from theology this week and had fun looking at some medieval history; namely, the religious lives women could opt for in the Middle Ages. We explore why most women who chose to lead a religious life were actually well off, how married women could lead a religious life, and why some women lived in tiny rooms for 40 years.
