PATRIARCHY in Genesis 1-2?: An Exhaustive Biblical & Theological Commentary (with 2 OT experts!)
This episode is long. My hope, beyond a lot of what I've seen online here on YouTube, is that what I've presented is fair and thorough and comprehensive. The topic of gender in Genesis 1-2 remains divisive but I do not believe it should be this divisive. Here, I talk extensively with two Old Testament experts and scholars about hermeneutics, gender, creation, Hebrew syntax, key words, biblical theology, and ancient cosmology - which is a lot to think about but the question is vital and requires sufficient argumentation. My goal is not, first and foremost, to articulate an exclusive reading of the passage (in favor of complementarianism or egalitarianism) but to go where the text leads me. That has, of course, placed me firmly on one side of this evangelical debate amongst my Christian brothers and sisters. I say this now because I care most about what God's word *says* more than fitting God's word into a neat little box for everyone. God's word should challenge us repeatedly to think about his command to us.
As such, much of what passed for strong biblical arguments concerning a patriarchal reading of Genesis 1-2 remains almost exclusively on inferences and supposed implications. I say this with conviction and respect, but I do not see sufficient reasoning to conclude that Genesis 1-2 teaches a heirarchichal ordering of men and women based on the actual text of the inerrant word of God. You may disagree and that is fine, but I do not think one can so easily dismiss the arguments made in this video. Should you disagree, please be respectful in the comments.

God's Apocalyptic LOVE: A Theological Exegesis of Romans 8:31-39
In this video I tackle Paul's beautiful and complex view of God's activity and human agency in Romans 8:31-39. God's holiness is at the center of all that he does, and Paul's vision captures both the trials of life and the need for faithful allegiance to King Jesus.
Translation:
8:31 What, therefore, will we say about such things? If God is for us, who is against us? 8:32 He who did not spare his own son but handed him over for all of us, how will he not also with him graciously bestow to us all things? 8:33 Who will bring a charge against God’s chosen ones? God is the One who righteously vindicates. 8:34. Who will condemn? Christ Jesus —the one who died—and more than that he was raised —who is also at the right hand of God and is making intercession on our behalf. 8:35 What will separate us from the love of God? Oppression or distress or persecution or starvation or nakedness or peril or sword? 8:36 As it is written
For we are being put to death all the day long
We are considered as lambs for slaughter
8:37 Yet, through all of these things we are beyond victorious through the One who loves us. 8:38 For I am persuaded that neither Death nor life nor angels nor sovereignties nor what is present nor what is to come nor Powers 8:39 nor height nor depth nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

The APOCALYPTIC PAUL in 5 Minutes!
Well, I don't quite make it in five minutes, but I kept it under ten. The Apocalyptic Paul is probably the hottest thing on the theology market (at least in scholarship) and there is a direct need for a succinct and informed explanation. I hope you dig it!

Introducing Romans ch.8-11: Hermeneutics and Literature
Romans is perhaps Paul's most widely read epistle. Romans, as a document, is a fascinating glimpse into the early Christian proclamation and to the life and issues within that early community. In this video we go over some of the hermeneutical and cultural ideas for this study of Romans, and I end it with book corner!

MUTUAL SUBMISSION?: Responding to Mike Winger on Ephesians 5
Time to think biblically. Pastor Mike Winger answered a question on mutual submission in Ephesians 5, and his answer deserves a response. I think, respectfully, Mike demonstrates a lack of education and graciousness in his answer toward biblical egalitarians. Let me know what you think.
I give my own answer plus a very brief overview of Ephesians 5 from my own perspective, just to demonstrate Mike's numerous inaccuracies in his handling of the text.

What Origen of Alexandria thought about PHOEBE in Romans 16:1-2!!
Did Origen affirm the ministry of women? Were early church father's purely patriarchal, or vivid defenders of the equality of women? The answer, like all human beings and their biases and beauties, is more complex.
Origen of Alexandria is an important church father and he wrote a lot about the Bible. In this video, I briefly and clearly break down his analysis of Phoebe in Romans ch.16.1-2 (Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans 10.17). What he wrote is interesting to say the least!

Gender ROLES & Apologetic Rhetoric: A Thoughtful Rejoinder to Alisa Childers and Frank Turek
During an AMA, I asked Alisa Childers and Frank Turek a question about women and sexism in Christianity. I've included their response and my own reflection and rejoinder to their comments. I think, overall, I don't disagree with their broader points but their use of "role" language caused me to reflect a lot on the nature of such language within the complementarian-egalitarian debate in evangelicalism.
