Show Notes

In this episode, Pastor Abby and Pastor Kory discuss the complexities of gendered language in the Bible and the concept of "selective literalism". They examine how certain Greek words, like adelphoi, are often translated exclusively as "brothers" despite contextually including "sisters". The conversation highlights the inconsistency in how literal interpretations are applied, urging listeners to move beyond rigid word-for-word readings toward a deeper understanding of the original cultural context and the inclusive heart of the Gospel.
