Ep 21 - Headship Matters?

In this episode that You Are Not Listening To, I share some thoughts I have about an article published in the Adventist Review titled “Headship Matters – What the Bible Does and Doesn’t Say About Male Headship.” By Laurel Damsteegt. The article presents itself as attempting to address abuses perpetrated by supposed “godly” leaders or husbands, by providing a better interpretation of Scripture as it relates to marriage and church leaders. However, as you’ll hear, it only helps to prop up the poor interpretations that lead to these abuses by informing women of their subordinate position in the eyes of something the author keeps calling God. I find the article and the mind frame behind it to be abhorrent. It is not treatment, it is the disease. **Trigger warning: rape, marital rape, and sexual abuse are referenced in the article and are addressed in the Podcast. Not in any detail nor for very long, but if those topics are uncomfortable for you, maybe skip this one.** Link to the Adventist Review article:
