The problem with patriarchal Christianity may seem obvious to many listeners of Irenicast. It is no surprise to us that patriarchy has done perhaps irrevocable damage to not just Christianity, but the nation as well. We are seeing the ripples of that sad truth on every level in society. In this episode, three beneficiaries of the the f**ked up system we’ve come to know and loathe discuss ways we can lay aside our privilege to make room for others to lead. It is not an easy task, and sometimes it seems like it is too little too late. However, as Rajeev points out, there is still some hope left. Is it enough to make a difference? And for our segment this week, Casey introduces the team to a new one called Bunker Buddies. Since most days feel like the end of the world is here, we figure we would lean into it and share the items we would bring to the Irenicast bunker to wait out the apocalypse.
