    336. The Untold Power of Women's Leadership in Scripture

    Send us a text The story of the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well is familiar to many, but what if everything we thought we knew about her was filtered through centuries of misinterpretation? Dr. Caryn Reeder joins us for a paradigm-shifting conversation that challenges traditional views of this remarkable biblical figure. For generations, sermons have painted the Samaritan woman as a sexual sinner—a prostitute, a fallen woman. Yet as Dr. Reeder points out, the text of John 4 never once mentions sin or forgiveness. This deliberate sexualization and minimization of her story has had far-reaching consequences, contributing to the silencing of women's voices in Christian communities. What emerges instead is the portrait of a theological intellectual who engages Jesus in the longest recorded conversation in the Gospel of John. Unlike Nicodemus—the powerful, educated man who meets Jesus in darkness and leaves confused—this nameless Samaritan woman meets Jesus in broad daylight and demonstrates remarkable spiritual insight. She becomes what Dr. Reeder calls a "paragon"—a touchstone against which discipleship should be measured. The contrast couldn't be more striking: a marginalized woman becomes the first evangelist while the religious elite remain in darkness. This reversal challenges everything we think we know about spiritual authority and who God chooses to work through. When understood in its historical context, the Samaritan woman's marital history reflects the harsh realities that women faced in the ancient world, rather than a moral failure. This conversation invites us to reconsider how we read scripture and how we value voices in our communities. What might happen if we recognized the theological contributions of those we've overlooked? How might our understanding of leadership transform if we truly saw this woman as Jesus saw her?

    Send us a text Dorcas Cheng-Tozun joins us to discuss her new Bible study, "Mental Health: Experiencing God's Care for Our Mind, Body, and Spirit," and shares her personal journey through burnout, depression, and healing. We explore how faith communities can better respond to mental health needs with compassion rather than judgment, while discovering how scripture reveals God's deep understanding of our struggles. • Made for Pax creates resources for millennials and Gen Z that incorporate art, justice, and contemplative practices • The harmful myth that "faith is all I need" equates mental health struggles with spiritual failure • Jesus himself experienced trauma throughout his life, giving him a profound understanding of our suffering • Caring for our mental health is a sacred practice that increases our capacity to care for others • Beauty and brokenness coexist in our stories, making space for both healing and struggle • Contemplative practices like loving-kindness meditation can ground us in challenging times Find "Mental Health: A Six-Week Interactive Bible Study" by Dorcas Chang-Tozin, published by IVY Press, available soon wherever books are sold.

    334. Darwin and Scripture: Beyond the Taboo with Dr. Dru Johnson

    Send us a text Dr. Dru Johnson, author of What Hath Darwin To Do With Scripture? challenges our understanding of creation, evolution, and faith through an intellectually curious exploration of Darwin's observations and biblical narratives. This conversation bridges seemingly opposing worldviews by examining how Genesis might be the most Darwinian text of the ancient world. • Creation stories in Genesis focus on habitats and inhabitants with concern for proper fit to the environment. • Biblical authors call us beyond simplistic views of creation to understand our moral connection to the land. • Darwin's observations about natural selection aren't inherently incompatible with biblical thinking. • The Bible doesn't claim "as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be" but rather envisions a future reorientation of creation. • Procreation in Scripture isn't just about making babies but about great-great-grandchildren we'll never meet. • Parents and grandparents should create "fields with clear fences" where children can explore ideas freely, rather than following intellectual ruts. • Christians are called to "do the work" of understanding for themselves rather than uncritically accepting what others say.

    333. If the Ocean Has a Soul with Marine Biologist Rachel G. Jordan

    Send us a text Marine biologist Rachel G. Jordan explores the intersection of faith and science through her experiences studying ocean life. Her book "If the Ocean has a Soul: A Marine Biologist's Pursuit of Truth through Deep Waters of Faith and Science" reveals profound spiritual insights discovered in underwater ecosystems while challenging readers to embrace both scientific curiosity and deep faith. • Biodiversity in marine ecosystems demonstrates how differences strengthen communities rather than divide them. • Faith and science both seek answers to "why" questions, driven by wonder and curiosity. • Topics like evolution and climate change aren't salvation issues, but can become unnecessary barriers to faith. • Rachel's research on sea anemones taught her gratitude for all living things and their capacity to praise God. • Every creature, even seemingly annoying ones like mosquitoes, has a unique way of praising its Creator. • The kingdom of God may include incredible biodiversity - past, present, and future creatures all praising together.

    332. Chasing Sacred with Mikella Van Dyke

    Send us a text What are you chasing? The elusive promise of fulfillment through success, recognition, relationships, or material possessions? Mikella Van Dyke is well acquainted with this pursuit. Growing up as the daughter of Bible translators in Thailand, she experienced firsthand the challenge of finding her identity amid cultural transitions before discovering that while she thought she was chasing God, He had actually been chasing her all along. Mikella's perspective on Scripture and motherhood brings fresh inspiration to those feeling overwhelmed by life's demands. Drawing from Psalm 23:6, where she discovered that "follow" actually means "to chase," she reveals how God's goodness and mercy have been pursuing us with extravagant love. This revelation transformed her understanding of spiritual growth and her approach to raising five children, ages two to ten, while maintaining her ministry.

    331. Your Feelings Are Not Your Enemies: A Conversation With Dr. Alison Cook

    Send us a text A Summer Replay of One of Our Favorite Conversations here on the podcast: Episode 108. Dr. Alison Cook guides us and helps us understand: What if the overwhelming thoughts and feelings you've been trying to suppress, ignore, or overcome could actually become your greatest allies? In this profound conversation with Dr. Allison Cook, PhD, we delve into a revolutionary approach to emotional health through the concept of internal boundaries. Dr. Cook introduces us to the Internal Family Systems model, which recognizes the various "parts" within our souls. These managers keep us organized and productive, the firefighters who rush to numb our pain, and the exiles who carry our deepest hurts. Rather than viewing these parts as enemies to be conquered, she teaches us how to set compassionate boundaries with them and transform them into valuable allies. At the heart of this conversation is a radical truth: you get a say in your own life. For many of us, especially women, we've been conditioned to trust others' voices over our own. Dr. Cook challenges this pattern by showing how spirit-led self-leadership empowers us to honor our God-given voice while maintaining healthy relationships. This isn't selfish—it's stewardship of the unique self God created you to be. We dive deep into the practical "U-turn" process—Focus, Befriend, Invite God, Unburden, and Integrate—that helps us approach overwhelming emotions with curiosity rather than condemnation. Through stories, examples, and theological insights, Dr. Cook demonstrates how this approach differs from spiritual bypassing, offering instead a truly integrated path to healing that honors both psychology and faith. Perhaps most beautifully, Dr. Cook introduces us to the concept of "baptized imagination"—engaging our creative right brain alongside our analytical left brain in our healing journey. Like Jesus teaching through parables, sometimes our most profound transformation comes through imagery and narrative rather than mere logic. Whether you've struggled with people-pleasing, anger, anxiety, or any overwhelming emotion, this conversation offers hope. There's a path to freedom that doesn't require silencing parts of yourself, but instead welcoming them home. Ready to rewrite your story and discover the allies waiting within your soul? Listen now, and take your first step toward inner boundaries that truly set you free.Visit Dr. Alison Cook's website: Boundaries for Your Soul Support the show Begin Your Heartlifter's Journey: Visit and subscribe to Heartlift Central on Substack.
