Hi, this is Justin.

00:00:06

Today on Theocast is part two of a conversation that John and I had about men and women and how we relate to one another in the home and in the church.

00:00:14

In the first episode, we talked about things from a higher level and some theological considerations.

00:00:20

We wanted to clarify a few things.

00:00:22

And now, in the second portion of the conversation, we get a little bit more practical, a little more boots on the ground in the church and in the home, and how we relate to one another as husbands and

00:00:30

wives and brothers and sisters in the Lord.

00:00:32

And John and I even talk a little bit personally about our own congregations and our own households.

00:00:37

We appreciate you, the listener, very much.

00:00:39

We're thankful, not only for the ways you encourage us, but we're thankful that you will listen to this podcast with grace and with charity.

00:00:46

And we thank you for that in advance.

00:00:48

We hope that you're encouraged and helped by the conversation.

00:00:51

We're excited to announce we have a brand new podcast available called the Kingsmen Podcast.

00:00:57

It's where we are reclaiming biblical manhood by training and equipping men for the work of the kingdom.

00:01:02

You can find it anywhere you download a podcast.

00:01:04

You can also watch it on YouTube.

00:01:06

We have new episodes that come out every Monday.

00:01:20

I think it's important that we see throughout the Old Testament as well as the New, that God is very concerned for women.

00:01:28

And so, even when it comes to a lot of the divorce laws in the Old covenant.

00:01:33

You can read them.

00:01:34

And whether we're talking Deuteronomy 24 or any other number of places, the concern is to protect women from the abuse of men.
