Elyse and Eric co-host the Worthy Podcast together, which we wholeheartedly recommend to our listeners.
In part 2 of this interview, Elyse and Eric discuss:
- How to place our confidence in the Lord when we fall into the lies of pride and self loathing.
- Responding to people who fear that discussing the value of women is a slippery slope to egalitarianism.
- Women in the new covenant are not to be quantified based on their relationship status but recognized for their partnership in the gospel.
- How fearing women leads to dehumanizing and objectifying women which leads to pornography and abuse.
- The meaning of having a “gentle and quiet spirit” in 1 Peter 3:4 and how it does not mean women are to be quiet and not have an opinion.
- Encouragement for single women and affirmation of their value and work in the kingdom of God.
