b"\\u201cDon\\u2019t try and church it up.\\u201d \\n\\nEver heard that piece of advice? It hits the crux of this episode right in the nethers: biblical manhood and biblical womanhood. \\n\\nAuthor Aimee Bird offered a more refined and relevant version: \\u201cJust because you put the word \\u2018biblical\\u2019 in front of it doesn\\u2019t make it so. It\\u2019s not an adjective.\\u201d\\n\\nIf you\\u2019re listening to this podcast, I\\u2019d bet my milk money you've heard the terms \\u201cbiblical manhood\\u201d and \\u201cbiblical womanhood\\u201d 43,854 times or more, maybe in the past month alone. \\n\\nThey\\u2019re not standalones. They inform every aspect of your life as a Christian woman. Or so you\\u2019ve been taught. Maybe they\\u2019re just churched-up versions of junk \\u2014 the overcooked vegetables on your theological dinner plate. The stain on your white blouse. The turd in your lemonade. \\n\\nMaybe. You\\u2019ll have to listen to find out.\\n\\nI interviewed Aimee in this fancy-pants episode, including:\\n\\n- How churches slap Bible verses on the ugly puppy of misogyny\\n- What the heck the \\u201ceternal subordination of the Son\\u201d has to do with any of this (a lot, and it\\u2019s not as weird or highfalutin as you\\u2019d assume)\\n- The book of the Bible dominated by a woman (and the basis for Aimee\\u2019s book The Sexual Reformation)\\n- What happened when Aimee stepped too far out of her \\u201crole\\u201d as a woman (a tale as old as time)\\n- The two meanings of the word \\u201crole\\u201d and why the difference matters A LOT\\n- Several delicious plays on words (with a last name like \\u201cByrd\\u201d and the ability to write so well, how could she resist?)\\n\\nListen or download the transcript at flyingfreenow.com/179\\n\\nFREE: I'll send you the first chapter of my book, Is It Me?
