About this episode

Dr. Preston Sprinkle returns to discuss his book on women in church leadership and the complexities of interpreting Scripture.

Southside Tribe! Our brother Dr. Preston Sprinkle is back to discuss his new book, From Genesis to Junia, and the deeply debated question of women in church leadership. Preston shares about his three-and-a-half-year research journey—one that rivaled doctoral-level work—where he committed to studying not just voices that agreed with him, but the strongest arguments on the other side. Together we wrestle through Genesis, all the way to Paul’s letters. This convo challenges listeners to distinguish between loving a narrative and loving the truth—and to approach controversial issues with curiosity rather than fear and assumptions. If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to let Scripture speak on its own terms—even when it disrupts your theological framework—this episode invites you into that tension with grace, depth, and courage.
