“Love this podcast - full of truth, wisdom, and fantastic arguments. My main question is about Numbers but then I added other thoughts and got carried away. Hopeful that these could be addressed! In Numbers 5:11-31, it discusses the practice of women drinking the bitter water if their husband is suspicious of her adultery. I have looked all over the internet and haven't found a good answer other than "we don't completely know, it wasn't meant to be harmful to women, and it made sense at the time". Why was there no equivalent test for males? Even if the woman was found to be unfaithful, the adulterous man could get away unscathed? I can understand why bitter water was used but don't understand why there is nothing that is asked of the men or any type of "infertility punishment" for them. And of course, men definitely aren't allowed to be brought there if their wives are suspicious, it is only within the man's power. I understand that the Jesus was so incredibly FOR women. I know that most of the early church was female. However, I don’t understand how the God of the New Testament seems so different than the God of the OT when it comes to the treatment of women. Same topic-ish that could be addressed is why God calls such terrible men righteous. Noah sees Gods faithfulness then turns into a drunk. Lot offers his daughter up to be gang raped. David cries out in Psalms about sin that he completely created - asking God why sorrow won’t leave him when he was the one who cheated, murdered, and then continued to take more wives - eventually opening the door for Tamar to be raped. Solomon and David were not stoned for adultery. Abraham allows Sarah to be possibly raped on two separate occasions because he is fearful of his own death. Then God asks women to submit. Of course, submit to godly men that are dying to themselves. Righteous men. But if these are the righteous men, how is any man truly righteous enough to submit to. Christ is my Lord and Savior and I am incredibly grateful for Him and know my sin is the same as others. I know this response is full of pride and bitterness. I so desperately want to understand.”Read full review »

“I want to say how grateful I am for Rebecca McLaughlin. I have read nearly all of her books. As a mom of five and pastor’s wife I have desperately needed her guidance in thinking biblically about pervasive cultural issues, massively current, yet as ancient as the Garden of Eden. I have grown up...”Read full review »

“The episodes on thinking about what we should be asking and are we correct about to Christ were fantastic. The episode with Lisa Fields just showed that Jude 3 project is using a textually critical perspective, but attempting to use the world’s method to explain the divine loses the plot. The...”Read full review »

“I so appreciate Rebecca and her guest’s perspective on topics that are Biblical and relevant to our culture today (because the Bible and Christianity is relevant to all peoples, places, and times). Every episode is delightfully engaging and informative.”
