Why do you think God created women?  We know from Genesis that God didn’t say, “We have all these fish, we may as well have women too,” but instead he said, “It is not good” without women. Women take on all sorts of roles in our society, but it can be particularly difficult to suss out what exactly is our role in church and leadership.  My guest this week is theologian Joel Muddamalle. Joel serves as the Director of Theology and Research for Proverbs 31 Ministries among other teaching and preaching responsibilities. In our conversation this week we dive into both the Complementarian and Egalitarian viewpoints as well as receiving gentle encouragement of the great value God places on women and the charge to approach these issues with humility.  Connect with Joel Muddamalle:  Website:  https://muddamalle.com  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Muddamalle/  Instagram:  @muddamalle  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@muddamalle  Links Mentioned:   Complimentarian Theologians  Dr. Tom Schreiner Egalitarian Theologians Lynn Cohick  Craig Keener Craig Blomberg Related Episodes: Gender and Sexuality :: Preston Sprinkle [Ep 370] Women Can Be All In For Jesus :: Kat Armstrong [Ep 253]  Exclusive Pre-Order:  Pre-Order Right Where You Belong: How to Identify and Fully Occupy Your God-Given Space Featured Sponsors:  Find links to this week’s sponsors and unique promo codes at dontmomalone.com/sponsors.
