We’re working on finalizing the last episodes of this season. While there’s no new episode this week, we’re excited to return in a couple of weeks with more conversations exploring the importance of gender parity in faith contexts. See you soon!

This week, Ailin and Hannah catch up with Abby, military chaplain and former coworker, to explore some of the strategies often used in complementarian churches to empower women while maintaining a gender-hierarchical position.
