In this podcast, @bethany and I hash it out.
Are men and women the same?
Should women be pastors?
Would I EVER attend a church pastored by a woman?
And Finally - why do I love chick flicks so much?
Such a fun and honest podcast with plenty to agree about and disagree about.

@bethany Great conversation with Eugene on the podcast about the roles of men and women. I loved the back and forth. You both were great at speaking straightforwardly and not beating around the bush.
@KarlGessler @sinbach oh good! Disagreements can be super healthy if they're done the right way. I think maybe we both shifted slightly by the end. I really feel like some parts of the Church might be in a better place if people were able to question things, to agree and to disagree with love and respect. Maybe then there would be less division 🤔 Anyway, glad you enjoyed!
We are some of the many 'misfits' who see the 'hole in the wall' found in Ezekiel "Furthermore He said to me, “Son of man, do you see what they are doing, the great abominations that the house of Israel commits here, to make Me go far away from My sanctuary? Now turn again, you will see greater abominations.” So He brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, there was a hole in the wall. Then He said to me, “Son of man, dig into the wall”; and when I dug into the wall, there was a door. And He said to me, “Go in, and see the wicked abominations which they are doing there.” So I went in and saw, and there—every sort of creeping thing, abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed all around on the walls." Ezekiel 8:6 - 10
We had such a large number of new members flood to DingDash yesterday when Facebook, Instagram, and Whatsapp crashed.
We were so excited to provide Christians with an alternative! https://backtojerusalem.com/many-christians-to-switch-to-dingdash-during-facebook-crash/
A dear brother pointed out to me that isolation and solitude are polar opposites, which is so true. This lead me to these thoughts:
"solitude and isolation; the first produces fruit and the second empties our barrel. I suppose a modern analogy could be an electric car; it needs to sit in solitude on a charging point before it can do the miles required that day."
