## Resource

In this conversation, Dr. Lynn Cohick interviews Dr. Preston Sprinkle about his new book, From Genesis to Junia: An Honest Search for What the Bible Really Says About Women in Leadership , which traces what the Bible says about women in leadership. Preston describes his work as a genuine research journey rather than a defense of a preconceived position, walking listeners through key texts like Genesis 1–3, the Gospels, and difficult Pauline passages. Together they explore how historical context, narrative shape, and women’s lived experience deepen our reading of Scripture. They also highlight the unique resilience and perspective women bring to the church and what men miss when they don’t receive teaching from women.
