    Unschooling with Heidi Steel

    Heidi Steel runs Live Play Learn, a hub and a community for unschooling parents. Unschooling is an approach to homeschooling that starts with the understanding that humans are born with a natural ability to learn and parents can provide the natural environment in which that can happen for their children. She is a qualified primary school teacher, and having worked in schools for 14 years, knew that she wanted something different for her own children. She talks about how unschooling has positively shaped the life of her family and provided the opportunity to create environments and learning opportunities centred around the individual personalities and needs of each of her children. Including where there is neurodiversity. She hosts the Unschooling Conversations podcast and you can find resources and information at liveplaylearn.org There is a transcript for this episode on the Loved Called Gifted website, where you can find out all sort of things about what I get up to.  You can connect with me on Facebook, or via email: lovedcalledgifted@gmail.com.

    Jesus and Masculinity: it's not about being in charge. With Sean Kennedy

    In the last episode, Catherine looked at the concept of Biblical Womanhood, and the fact that it doesn't really stand up to scrutiny if you start by looking at Jesus and his interactions with women. This time, she is joined by Sean Kennedy to consider manhood through the lens of Jesus, his life, his teachings and his interactions with the men around him. Spoiler alert: Jesus never once tells men they need to be in charge.  If you enjoy this episode and the ideas within it, you might like to read Catherine's new book: Finding God's Feminine Side, which is available on Amazon as both a paperback and a Kindle version.  Episode transcript Loved Called Gifted website Get in touch via the Facebook page or email us: lovedcalledgifted@gmail.com

    It's Not All About Submission: A Jesus Centred Perspective on Biblical Womanhood

    What does it mean to be a “Christian Woman”? Over the years I have heard a lot and read a lot about what the ideal Christian Woman might be like. The notion of Biblical Womanhood is particularly prominent in certain sections of the church. One gets the picture of a quiet, submissive woman who’s good at needlework and making cupcakes. It’s an image that seems to be more about the ideal 1950’s housewife than it is anything in the Bible.    Perhaps it would make more sense, to start a conversation about Christian womanhood by looking at the life of Jesus. What was it like to be a woman and a disciple? What can we discover from the conversations between Jesus and the women he spent time with? What sort of womanly behaviour did he encourage?    In this episode, I explore those questions. And the answers turn out to be a bit different to the picture of ideal Christian Womanhood I have encountered elsewhere.  The new book mentioned in the podcast is now out and can be found on Amazon!
