Episode Synopsis

This week, Dudley, Samuel and Corinne return to a powerful and timely conversation on women in spiritual authority and the structure of biblical elders in the modern church. They dive deep into the tensions between Scripture and culture, tackling hard questions around Christian patriarchy, toxic church culture, and spiritual abuse.What does Paul really say about gender roles? Can a church be safe, healthy, and effective if women are excluded from leadership? And how should we respond when leadership roles are misused or weaponized?This episode is honest, vulnerable, and rooted in a desire to interpret Scripture faithfully, while also addressing the real wounds many have experienced in the church.Get Dudley's Weekly Word delivered right to your inbox every Friday!
