Healthy Femininity and Masculinity In a Toxic Culture (feat. Renee Sproles)
Renee Sproles (renew.org) talks about what it means to be a man and what it means to be a woman according to principles we find in God’s word. This episode challenges the view that gender roles are secondary issues, arguing they have significant consequences. Through analogies of government, education, and church choice, Renee Sproles illustrates the impact of these roles on society. She argues that gender roles are designed by God and have profound implications for individual behavior, family dynamics, and societal health. She advocates for a complementarian view, suggesting that men and women have distinct, complementary roles that contribute to marital happiness, effective parenting, and societal stability. It is a good thing to live in accordance with one's God-given gender identity.

Customer Reviews
May God Continue to be Honored!
Very few resources offer the thought provoking training as this podcast. Each speaker provides a wealth of ideas to help the ordinary Christ follower to begin, develop, and sustain a strategy to be a disciple maker who makes disciple makers. The honesty about mistakes made and pitfalls to avoid are worth considering. This podcast is far more than information delivery, but a God glorifying way to recalculate priorities in life.
Great content
There are lots of good stuff on making disciples in this podcast. It can feel like you’re drinking from a fire hose, but a lot of what is said here has both confirmed what I believed how ministry is done while shifting many of the paradigms that I had about ministry. I’m also grateful that much of the content that I’d miss out on from not being able to attend the forums is online. This is for people who want to follow Christ and want to further His Kingdom.
This has changed my spiritual walk
I discovered this podcast and Yahweh has used it to CHANGE my walk & the way I do ministry. The stories & perspectives are EXACTLY what I need right now. Thank you thank you thank you discipleship.org & David(s) for putting this on.
