In this episode, we sit down with Katia Adams and Terran Williams to discuss the role of women in The Church and explore why a wound of which we seldom speak is, in fact, an issue of reconciliation that needs to be considered in the Christlike Spirit of Love.
Katia is an author, preacher, and the founding pastor of The Table Boston. Her book, Equal, explores what the bible says about Women, Men and authority and her online course called Her Voice is designed to equip women preachers. Katia is also married to Julian with whom she is the director of Frequentsee Inc. and is the mother of two children
Terran is an author, speaker, and pastor of Signal church in Cape Town, South Africa. In his book, How God Sees Women, Terran points to God's desire for the unity of men and women, in creation, in the church, and in Christ in what has been described as a landmark book for our generation. Terran is also married to Julie and is the father of five children.
Both Katia and Terran engaged in this conversation with a rare combination of conviction and grace that made it as encouraging as it was challenging.
If you (or someone you know) are wrestling with what to think or how to pray around the role of women in the Church and why that matters for the world, we hope that you'll be helped by this episode.

In our desire to present a more balanced perspective on the current conflict happening in Israel and Palestine we wanted to speak to a Jew (As we did in the previous episode with Orna Grinman) and a Palestinian, which is what we have done in this episode.
Our guest for this conversation is Dr Salim Munayer.
Dr Munayer was born to a Christian Palestinian family in the city of Lydda where he interacted with the different Jewish, Muslim and Christian populations from a young age. From this diverse upbringing and after academic studies in theology, he founded Musalaha ('Reconciliation' in Arabic), an organisation promoting teaching, facilitation and reconciliation between Israelis and Palestinians where he has served as director for over 30 years.
Dr Munayer is also adjunct Professor at Fuller Theological Seminary, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and Bethlehem Bible college and serves as the Regional Hub Coordinator of the Middle East and North Africa region for the Peace and Reconciliation Network (PRN) of the World Evangelical Alliance (WEA).
To say that this conversation was challenging would be an understatement. Dr Munayer sheds a stark but necessary light on both the historical context of the current conflict as well as the ideological and political influences that, in his words, are normalising a genocide in our time.
This episode is longer than most of our conversations and is not easy listening, but it is important. We pray it helps you engage in this issue and the broader issues of reconciliation in a more meaningful way.
For all of the resources mentioned by Dr Munayer you can go to his website here.

Few regions in the world are as historically contested and culturally contentious as Israel, Palestine and the surrounding areas.
It would be easier to avoid discussing the conflict that currently rages there, it would certainly be less risky, but a podcast on reconciliation at this moment in history would be remiss in avoiding this conversation for the sake of playing it safe.
As a Jewish woman currently living in Jerusalem and inspired by her faith in Jesus (or Jeshua as she likes to call Him) Orna Grinman has been working for reconciliation between Jews and Arabs in this region for years.
This podcast is far from the last word on the matter. It isn't trying to be. Instead, we hoped to have a discussion that wrestled with the tension of what has become a polarising conversation and to do so in such a way that ultimately pointed people to Jesus.
I think we did that.
There were many questions I still had, and some of Orna's perspectives that I'm not sure I completely agree with, but overall I appreciated her humility and the very evident love she carries for Jesus and the people He has called her to serve. People that, without the love of Jesus it would have been easy for her to hate.
