You Tube Theology

In this episode of A Theology of Hustle, I sit down with Dr. Beth Allison Barr—Baylor professor, historian, and author of The Making of Biblical Womanhood and Becoming the Pastor’s Wife.

We revisit our very first conversation years ago and explore what has changed since then, including Beth’s personal journey, the unexpected reaction to her first book, and the deeper historical research that shaped her latest work.

We dive into:

How church history shapes the way we think about gender and leadership today

Why the role of “pastor’s wife” developed, and how it impacts women in the church

The dangers of complementarian theology and its historical blind spots

What gives Beth hope for the future of women in ministry

If you care about the church, history, and women’s voices in ministry, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
