#23 Feminism is one of the most controversial words in modern culture—and in the church. But what if the conversation didn’t have to divide us? In this insightful episode of Uncomfortable Conversations with Christians, host Paul Basden explores the history, theology, and emotion behind feminism, offering a more biblical and unifying lens on gender, value, and leadership.

Join us as we explore: God’s original design for men and women as co-rulers of creation (Genesis 1:27–28) The meaning of “helper” and its powerful Old Testament context (Genesis 2:18) Jesus’ radical inclusion of women in His ministry (Luke 10:38–39) Paul’s recognition of female leaders in the early church (Romans 16:1–7) The Spirit’s empowering of both men and women to lead (Acts 2:17–18)

 

Is there a version of feminism that reflects God’s heart? Can Christians embrace gender equality without abandoning biblical truth? Tune in as we seek wisdom, honor God’s design, and celebrate the full image of God in both women and men.
