    Join host Amy Orr-Ewing as she sits down with Dr. Amy Peeler—professor, theologian, and author—to challenge traditional perceptions about women in theology and leadership.

    • How a fresh reading of Eve can empower women's voices in faith
    • The biblical and practical case for men and women leading together
    • Why mutual submission strengthens leadership, both in the church and the workplace
    • Groundbreaking perspectives on Jesus’s interactions with women as a model for empowering leadership


    Dr. Peeler’s reflections invite listeners to embrace a deeper, more inclusive vision of faith and leadership rooted in equality and collaboration.
