Saying NO to Headship Theology, feat. Nicole C. Parker
Welcome back to The Story Church Podcast!
Season 6 - Saying NO to Headship Theology, featuring Nicole C. Parker, is here!
In this series, we explore a theological paradigm that has the potential to handicap our mission and witness in the world.
This paradigm isn’t a part of our fundamental beliefs, but it is increasingly being taught in different sectors of the church and has the capacity to strangle our mission.
In fact, it's already doing so.
I'm talking about Headship Theology.
Now you might not know what headship theology is, but I promise you, you have heard it preached or taught at some point.
So in this season we are going to define it and examine it in light of God’s heart.

Deconstructing the Adventist Worship Wars, Feat. Maxwell Aka (TSCP Podinar, Season 5)
What if I told you that the "drums are evil, syncopation leads to sin, hymns-only" mentality so prevalent in our church today originates - not from a Biblical pursuit of holiness - but from sinful racist ideologies?
That in our misguided zeal for "being separate and holy" we have actually swung the doors wide open for the desecration of God's church through these politically driven agendas?
That these unbiblical beliefs are part of the reason our youth are leaving and our churches failing to reach their cities?
And, what if I told you there is a better way? A way in harmony with scripture, with the Spirit of Prophecy and with the character of God?
