Christianity Without Compromise: Rebuilding Faith Around Jesus Alone

Women in the Bible may seem like side characters, but the problem may be the way Scripture has been taught rather than the text itself. Jessica L.M. Jenkins, Bible teacher, author, speaker, and host of the Women of the Bible in Context podcast, is on Christianity Without Compromise with host Jake Doberenz to discuss how church language, cultural assumptions, and incomplete teaching have obscured women’s presence throughout the Bible. Jessica explains why terms like “the disciples” often erase female followers of Jesus, explores how passages like Proverbs 31 have been misunderstood, and shows how understanding historical context reveals a richer picture of women in Scripture and the broader story of the Gospel. She also challenges pastors and church leaders to intentionally amplify women’s voices and experiences through preaching, teaching, and everyday ministry.
