We have written a book, developed materials for training pastors and congregational leaders, and have traveled together to cities across the country to implement the training. We both hold deep convictions that the relationships between men and women present one of the systemic challenges that we face in our families and communities. We believe It is in the design of God for men and women to collaborate as equals in the missional life. As we have worked here in Houston and in congregations across the country, we are frequently asked about our beliefs and practices related to working together as an unmarried couple. We\u2019ve recently decided to do this series of five podcasts that address the questions and concerns that we have heard expressed by people in a wide variety of settings. In this episode, we address some questions that have come up during this series. The 3 main questions we address are: (3:21) Do men have to be diminished in order for women to be empowered?  (13:16) How does this conversation apply to other contexts?  (27:12) Doesn\u2019t this just make it easier for people to have affairs? Is the risk too high?   If you enjoy listening to My Faithwalking Journey Podcast, the best way to support the show is to take just a few seconds to leave a rating and\/or comment over on iTunes \u2026 Thank you!
