Have you ever thought about the Popular Evangelical Women’s Ministry in America today? Do you read books by female ministers, attend their "bible" studies, and sold-out conferences? Do you ever wonder if these produce the maturity they claim to encourage? Perhaps you have spent hours reading books and attending conferences and feel no more mature in your Christian walk than you did 5, 10, or even 20 years ago? Or maybe you're a discerning woman who understands that there is something wrong but can’t put your finger on it or articulate why there seems to be a problem.
Thoroughly Equipped is a podcast for women-centered on Sola Scriptura. This is the doctrine that the Scriptures are all we need for salvation and spiritual living. They are God-breathed and useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness so the man or woman of God may be... not a little, not even a lot, but THOROUGHLY/COMPLETELY equipped for EVERY good work.
This podcast takes the popular Evangelical Women’s ministry teachings, books, podcasts, conferences, "bible" studies, etc., and compares them to Scripture. The purpose of which is to show just how sufficient Scripture is to equip us to be Godly women.

Is it "Just Your Interpretation"? How to Study Your Bible w/Andrew Rappaport
I have often heard women say, "that's just your interpretation" when I've pointed out false doctrine. Is this true? Are there many interpretations of Scripture? Are there right and wrong ways to read and interpret Scripture?
Let's talk about the science of interpretation...let's talk about Hermeneutics.

Discerning if SHE is a False Teacher: Does She Proclaim Christ and Him Crucified?
False gospels are the gangrene in the Church today, and are the typical diet in women's ministry today.
What are these popular false gospels that are prevalent in women's ministry?
What is the problem many of these false teachers want to fix and what is their solution?
Is it our sin and the wrath of God that will come against all those who live in the flesh?
Is the solution Christ?
Ultimately, does the female teacher determine that women in the Church know nothing but Christ and Him crucified?

Hearing the Voice of God vs Sola Scriptura with Jim Osman
Popular evangelical Christianity teaches that God's children need to hear the voice of God to live the fulfilling life God calls His children to.
But is this true? Does Scripture teach that we need and should expect to hear from God?
Does this teaching help or hinder Christian women?
Let's talk about it with Pastor Jim Osman, author of the book God Doesn't Whisper who helps us see how the Hearing the Voice of God doctrine undermines Sola Scriptura, presents a weak God, and brings Christians to walk in doubt rather than faith.

Discerning if SHE is a False Teacher: What Does She Believe About Scripture?
Can we discern what a popular female teacher believes about Scripture?
Is what she believes about Scripture important?
Why even discern this?
What would discerning this mean for Christian women and women's ministry?
Let's talk about what teachers believe about scripture and how they use it in their ministry. Let's talk about Sola Scriptura.

Discerning if SHE is a False Teacher: Does She Submit to the Authority of Scripture?
There are certain questions that we can ask to discern if a female teacher within women's ministry is someone that should be teaching us.
The first question is: Is she in rebellion to Christ's authority?
But how do we determine if she is rebelling against the authority of Christ? In this episode we look at just how submissive a female teacher is to the Headship of Christ over His church by looking at if she teaches or exercises authority over men in the Church.

Customer Reviews
Very helpful
Melissa is thorough and thoughtful in the way she teaches. She shares truth from Scripture and encourages women be discerning. This podcast has been a great help to me!
So helpful
I find this very informative and important
Excellent Podcast
Like the first reviewer I found this podcast from Jon Harris’ YouTube channel Conversations That Matter. I also went to Melissa’s website tree.org and found a wealth of biblical theology and responses to today’s lukewarm and worldly women’s ministries and the effects they are having on women as well as men in the church.
I highly recommend checking out her articles and resources that are very much needed in the Christian church.
