The Best of Strong Women: The Joy and Wo...

COLSON CENTER
About this episode

We’re taking a small break this summer to gear up for season six of the Strong Women podcast. During this break, we’ll be re-airing episodes we think you’ll enjoy!

Our world is so confused about what it means to be male or female. Some speak as if men and women are interchangeable, and others as if we’re totally different species. But God’s creation of men and women is bigger and better than these false extremes. This week, Dr. Abigail Favale joins me to talk about biblical sexuality, the goodness of our bodies, and the interdependence that God designed us to live out.

The Genesis of Gender by Abigail Favale 

Pope John Paul II on the Theology of the Body 

The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self: Cultural Amnesia, Expressive Individualism, and the Road to Sexual Revolution by Carl Trueman 

Essays on Woman by Freda Mary Oben
