In this solo episode of Outside of Sunday, I wanted to sit down and give you a bit of a life and podcast update - including why we’ve moved to one episode a week for a short season. I'm talking about our upcoming South Island recording trip and the heart behind why we’re doing it. I also talk about the verse that has become such an anchor for me as we prepare for this new season of recordings. If I’m honest, preparing for this trip has stretched me more than I expected. So in this episode I'm sharing a bit about the striving I’ve been wrestling with, and the gentle way the Lord has been reminding me that He is a good Father, who loves us well and meets us so kindly, even in our weakness. We also talk about the beauty of the ordinary, learning to receive God’s love in busy seasons, and the reminder that everything we truly need is found in Christ. Plus, a quick update on why the next Insights episode is taking a little longer than planned ❤️ 0:00 – Coming up 0:36 – Welcome & a podcast/life update 2:10 – Our South Island recording trip 2:50 – The heart behind the journey 4:57 – The verse shaping this series 6:03 – The extraordinaryness of the ordinary 6:53 – The struggles of preparing for the South Island trip 9:22 – The Lord meeting me in my striving 11:53 – He leads us gently: learning to receive His love 15:01 – All we need is found in Christ 15:47 – A quick update on the next Insights episode

In this episode of Outside of Sunday, we sit down with Phylicia Masonheimer, founder of Every Woman a Theologian, for an honest and thought-provoking conversation about faith and what it means to be a woman passionate about ministry. Phylicia shares her powerful testimony - from growing up in a Christian home to walking through a hidden addiction at a young age, and ultimately finding true freedom in Christ. From there, the conversation opens up into the bigger questions many Christian women wrestle with: What is my role? Where do I fit? And how do I follow Scripture faithfully without losing the heart God has given me? We unpack the tension many women feel around ministry, what the Bible actually says, where confusion can creep in, and why theology isn’t just for a select few. We also explore the balance of Spirit and Truth, the beauty of God’s design for men and women, and why women aren’t “less than” - but uniquely called. 0:00 – Coming up 0:39 – Welcome and intro 1:51 – About Phylicia & Every Woman a Theologian 2:51 – Phylicia’s testimony 5:08 – Appreciating her Christian upbringing 6:10 – Struggle with addiction exposed at 12 8:24 – Finding freedom in Christ 10:14 – Views on women in ministry growing up 11:14 – Letting Scripture shape her understanding 14:20 – Christa’s personal struggle with calling 15:25 – Is 2 John a woman leading a church? 22:15 – Not fitting neatly on either side 23:43 – Where women can confidently minister 24:17 – God’s design for men and women 26:31 – Women are not lesser 27:00 – The heart behind Every Woman a Theologian 28:43 – Balancing Spirit and Truth 33:22 – Marriage dynamics in ministry 37:15 – How to get involved 38:11 – How Phylicia lives her faith outside of Sunday
