{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Ordained Inequality: How a Quiet Movement Redefined Women’s Roles in Christianity.","slug":"Ordainedinequality","podcastDescription":"Behind closed doors, a small group of leaders shaped a movement that would reach into churches, homes, and seminaries across America — redefining women’s roles for generations to come. Ordained Inequality is an investigative podcast uncovering how the rise of complementarian theology — and organizations like the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood — quietly but powerfully redrew the lines for women in Christianity.\n\nOrdained Inequality traces the origins, influence, and real-life consequences of a theology that claimed to honor women while systematically limiting their voices. This podcast peels back the polished language of “equal in value, different in role” to expose the cultural, institutional, and personal cost behind the rhetoric.\n\nThis isn’t just history. It’s the story of real women — silenced, shaped, and sometimes shattered — by a movement they were told was for their good.\n\nProduced by Knotty Spies Inc.\nNarrated by Shannon Patterson.","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/20675341/Add_a_heading_1400_x_1400_px_7znjh.png","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/20675341/Add_a_heading_1400_x_1400_px_7znjh_1200x628.jpg?s=cb4839a5c330e44a5ab7906e8a0e9c95&e=png","podcastUrl":"https://Ordainedinequality.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/Ordainedinequality/feed.xml","theme":"elegant","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pu/pbblog-thcmk-13b7b0d","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":17,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT-04:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":-4,"text":"(GMT-04:00) Atlantic Time (Canada)","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":"America/Halifax"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":7,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"Ordainedinequality","engagementStatsBaseUrl":"https://d1.podbean.com/webplayer_engagement?u=6821d6c5a162e902600fc463","shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-thcmk-13b7b0d-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Apple Podcasts","link":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ordained-inequality-how-a-quiet-movement-redefined/id1810932486","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/apple-podcast.png","title":null},{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://r4j68.app.goo.gl/?link=https%3A%2F%2FOrdainedinequality.podbean.com%3Faction%3DopenPodcast%26podcastId%3Dpbblog20675341%26podcastIdTag%3Dthcmk&dfl=https%3A%2F%2FOrdainedinequality.podbean.com&utm_campaign=pb_web&utm_source=podbean_web&utm_medium=dlink&imv=670&amv=530&isi=973361050&ibi=com.podbean.app.podcast&ipbi=com.podbean.app.podcast&apn=com.podbean.app.podcast","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"light"},{"id":"Font","val":"Geometric Humanist"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"Geometric Humanist"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#428200"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player1"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":null},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"

Ordained Inequality Will tell the story of how a quiet movement in the 1980’s reshaped women’s place in the church — not by accident, but by design.

It’s about the gifts we never saw, the voices we never heard, and the damage we’re only just beginning to name.
