A place for the doubters, wanderers, and outcasts.
We are two best friends who seek to shine light on topics in the Church today with history, science, theology - and our love for Jesus. ✨️🌙☀️
THANK YOU all for listening! We are incredibly grateful for your support, encouragement, and love over our first three seasons!
Today is a more conversational format reflecting on the themes, courage, and contributions of women in church history. In our lives, we seek to honor the legacy of the women who went before us, and it is our prayer that Eshet Chayil did just that.
We hope you enjoyed half as much as we enjoyed creating content for you all! Stay tuned for the release of our fourth season in 2022!
Enjoy!

the making of biblical womanhood: book review
Is biblical womanhood defined by ancient Greek grammar, by cultural norms, or by the actions and love of God?
In our penultimate episode this season, we review Beth Alison Barr's bestseller, "The Making of Biblical Womanhood: How the Subjugation of Women Became Gospel Truth."
We found that this book perfectly wraps up our season ahead of the Eshet Chayil finale, and are excited to share what we've learned. 😀
As always, leave us a review of what you think!

here we stand - we can do no other
In our last dive into the histories of prominent women throughout the Church, Sarah leads the discussion today with a glimpse into the Reformation.
•Argula, the first woman to apply Luther’s doctrine of priesthood of all believers to women, and also the first female lobbyist of the Reformation.
•Katharina, who wrote a defense for speaking out against men in ecclesial power. (Significantly, also wrote a preface for one of Calvin’s sermons.)
•Marie Dentiere, who wrote & published a formal defense for women being allowed to authoritatively teach to other women, which most of the Reformers were against.
Listen to how these women’s arguments laid the foundation for much of what we enjoy today in modern-day Christianity! As always, thank you so much for listening and like or leave a review of what you think!
