   What Have We Gotten Wrong About Gender Roles? ft. Jenet Erickson

   In today’s episode, I sit down with Jenet Erickson, BYU professor and researcher whose work on family, motherhood, and child wellbeing has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Today Show, to have a deeper conversation about the doctrine, culture, and research surrounding gender roles. Is there room for the career-driven woman in the gospel? What does “presiding” actually mean? Are men and women truly equal in the Church? And why do prophetic messages surrounding men and women sometimes sound different across generations? Truly, this became one of my favorite episodes I’ve ever recorded. No matter your gender, season of life, or circumstance, I promise this conversation will leave you thinking more deeply about your divine role and identity.
