Need To Know | Episode 9 | Lucy Peppiatt & Aaron White

On this episode of the Right Side Up podcast, we finally talk about the Apostle Paul and his issues with women. We are joined by our good friends Lucy Peppiatt and Aaron White, who discuss Aaron’s contributions to the book based upon Lucy’s scholarship and theology. We delve into the complexities and often misunderstood teachings of Paul regarding women, discussing how these scriptures have been weaponized and misinterpreted. Lucy emphasizes the importance of viewing Scripture with a holistic and contextual lens, and being honest about the things we just don’t understand in Paul’s letters. We call once again for men to be allies and for the church to embrace a fuller understanding of gender equality as part of its mission for the future.Show NotesLink to order the book: Need to Know: Empowering Female Leadership and Why It’s Essential for the Future of the ChurchLearn more about Lucy, the school she leads, and her books.keywords women in ministry, biblical scholarship, paul, culture, context, early church, women leaders, theology, alliesChapters00:00 Introduction to the Right Side Up Podcast00:53 Meet the Hosts and Guests02:01 Discussing Paul's Views on Women06:26 Reinterpreting Paul's Teachings15:24 Challenges of Women in Leadership19:39 Men's Role in Supporting Women23:49 Engaging with Difficult Scriptures29:32 Reflecting on a Friend's Life and Legacy30:22 Lucy's Work and Its Impact30:46 Youth Camp and Challenging Verses32:06 Invitation to Deeper Understanding34:44 Launching the Need to Know Book35:52 The Role of Allies37:33 Humility in Scriptural Interpretation39:49 Confronting Difficult Passages46:35 Hope for Change and Future Generations51:33 Lucy's Current and Future Projects54:52 Final Thoughts and Encouragement Get full access to Right Side Up: Danielle Strickland at daniellestrickland.substack.com/subscribe
