For years, Dr. Lynne Wilson has met with theologians around the world from various faith traditions. She repeatedly heard theories at these meetings that inequality between men and women stemmed from the Bible. She was adamant that inequality was not something Christ taught\u2014instead she believed that Jesus Christ emancipated women. So, she set out to do research to back it up. On this week\u2019s episode, Dr. Wilson shares her research as well as her belief that there is no better place to be as a woman than in the gospel of Jesus Christ.\xa0
\u201cI just think we\u2019re measuring the wrong things. It\u2019s not about gender, it\u2019s about mutuality and that is what Christ tried to break down in the meridian of time so that men and women and children, old and young, would work together together to build the kingdom.\u201d\xa0
