The Stones We Stand OnKatie Luther Pt. 1After wrapping their Martin Luther series, Konnor and Chelsy shift their focus to the life of his wife, Katie Luther. They chat about life in a convent, Luther’s spicy takes on monasticism, a daring escape (maybe in fish barrels???), and how projecting our biases back onto medieval and early modern women may rob them of their identity more than it helps them reclaim it.

Dana Bort and Sherri Brown led a Biblical Womanhood Retreat that I had the privilege of attending for a few years and their perspective of what God thinks about women was very different from the assumptions I thought I knew. This is part one of a two-week episode series that I hope expands your understanding of what the Bible has to say...
