Show Notes

Kaitlyn looks at why Proverbs personifies both wisdom and folly as women, how those images have often been misunderstood, and why Proverbs 31 should not be treated as an impossible checklist for Christian womanhood. She also talk about the Bible's honest account of sin's impact on men and women, the difference between wisdom and certainty, and why learning to live with unanswered questions can actually strengthen faith.
