Culture, Complementarian, and Estrangement Are Trying to Define You - Here's Who Already Did

Culture, Complementarian, and Estrangement Are Trying to Define You - Here's Who Already Did

Three voices are fighting to name you right now. Culture say you're undefined - a blank slate with no fixed identity. Complementarianism, particularly within the Southern Baptist Convention, says you're narrowly defined; restricted to roles that shrink what God actually called you to. And estrangement - when your own child stops calling, stops answering, walks away - whispers  the cruelest definition of all: You are not wanted. Your are not a mother. You are what they left behind. None of them get the final word. In this episode of Hart to Heart, I walk through the women the church rarely talks about - Deborah, who led Israel as prophet and judge with full authority over men and women. The Proverbs 31 woman, who was far more than a domestic ideal - a businesswoman, a leader, a teacher. Mary Magdalene, Priscilla, Phoebe - women of God trusted with His work when human systems wouldn't have. The we look at what happened when those human systems replaced biblical truth; how 1 Timothy 2 got stripped of its context, how the "narcissist" label got weaponized against parents, and why telling women they cannot use their God-given gifts doesn't just limit them - it limits the Great Commission and the  Kingdom of God. Culture cannot define you. Complementarianism cannot shrink you. Estrangement cannot erase you. #estrangement #SBC #womeninchurch #womenministry #complementarianism #biblicalwomanhood #Deborahbiblestudy #christian #biblicalfeminism, #christianpodcast #christianidentity #churchhurtwomen #spiritualidentity #proberbs31

Feeling Better is Not Healing

If your adult child has cut you off, you may have moments when you feel better. You get through the day You stay busy. You stop crying for a little while. But feeling better is not always the same as being healed. In this Family Restoration episode, I unpack the difference between temporary relief and true healing after family estrangement. This message is for estranged moms (or dads), targeted parents, and Christian women who are ready t to stop defining themselves by rejection, silence, or the need to prove their children wrong. True healing is identify-level. It is not numbing out the pain. It is not winning the argument in your mind. It is not waiting beside the same emotional pool forever. True healing is when God rewrites the loop in your mind and anchors you in who He says you are. This episode also reframes "pick up your mat" as a call to submit to Christ, stop returning to the old place of shame, and walk forward as the woman God created you to be. Submission does not erase your God-given wiring. It redeems it. #familyrestoration #familyestrangement #estrangedparents #nocontact #christianhealing #identifyinchrist #adultchildestrangement #estrangedmother #targetedparent #biblicalhealing #christianwomen #healinginchrist #parenting #feelingbetterisnothealing

What Would Jesus Do and Not Do

There are murders, assassination attempts, fraud and scandals. I will be giving my opinion on the invasion of the City's Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, and a tough correction on the responses made by many Progressive Pastors when asked "What would Jesus do?" with their response of, "This is what Judas would do."
