The God And My Girlfriends Podcast
Nice Churchy Patriarchy with special guest, Liz Cooledge Jenkins; And reflecting on 2023 in the girlfriend chat w/Stacey, Marcia and guest girlfriend, Staci Frenes
Our special guest this week is writer, preacher and former college campus minister, Liz Cooledge Jenkins. Liz is the author of Nice Churchy Patriarchy: Reclaiming Women’s Humanity from Evangelicalism. She lives in the Seattle area with her husband and their black cat Athena. Her writing can be found at Sojourners, The Christian Century, Christians for Social Action, Feminism and Religion, and Red Letter Christians, among other places; she also blogs at lizcooledgejenkins.com and Instagrams as @lizcoolj and @postevangelicalprayers.
We talked with Liz about recognizing patriarchy in the church, how to confront it (or how to walk away from it), what discernment is, how women can find themselves in the stories of women in the Bible and much more. It’s an inspiring and encouraging conversation and I know you guys will love it. Be sure and pick up her book soon!
