Importance of Biblical Studies focused on Gender and Sexuality with @mattiemaemotl

I am so excited to welcome Mattie Mae Motl to the podcast. She has made a big splash on social media. With lots of knowledge and some considerable sass in her videos, she is changing the conversation about biblical scholarship for a popular audience. This is incredibly important to reclaim rationality in Christianity especially for young people. There is so much disinformation about scriptures. She is a PhD candidate in Biblical Studies focused on Gender and Sexuality in the New Testament at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. I ask about her research, especially around the changing ideas about marriage and consent. How does this relate to our use of scripture versus historical uses? I explore where she wants to take this and how it will impact the future of the church especially as young people reject the patriarchal church of the past.
