God's Gift to Man - Jesus and John Wayne Ch 3

In this episode of Raised Right, we dig into one of the most unsettling chapters yet—“God’s Gift to Man” from Jesus and John Wayne. Lyndsey and Mark take a close look at the rise of evangelical teachings on submission, the cultural wildfire sparked by The Total Woman, and how these messages quietly shaped an entire generation’s view of gender, marriage, and power.We explore how theology got twisted into expectations, why “supportive” churches can still cause harm, and what happens when women are told their worth lies in compliance. It’s raw, honest, and more relevant than we’d like it to be.📚 Reading: Jesus and John Wayne by Kristin Kobes Du Mez #JesusAndJohnWayne #TheTotalWoman #EvangelicalCulture #WomenInTheChurch #ReligiousDeconstruction #ChristianFeminism #RaisedRightPodcast #Exvangelical
