Ep. 5: Unholy Trinity: Patriarchy

If you are like us, you grew up in a home and a church where men were in charge and women submitted. The Bible was even used as the reason why. Why can women be Prime Ministers or Vice Presidents but not pastors or priests? Why also is the church one of the safest places to be for a sexual predator and one of the more dangerous places to be as a female victim of sexual assault? The answer, “biblical” Patriarchy. It’s time to shatter the glass ceiling the church has placed on women. Looking at the second of the 3 Ps that make up the unholy trinity, Gary Alan and Melanie discuss how Patriarchy pervades every area of our lives, often without us realizing it.
