S4E4: Is Jesus a Feminist? Biblical Femininity Vs. Toxic Feminism

Avanle Ribeiro has been set free from gender confusion and toxic feminism. She used to call herself a feminist, believing women had to prove themselves to have a seat at the table and be given fair opportunities. The Lord completely changed her perspective & she realized she had actually been agreeing with the cultural norm of devaluing women and seeing them as unequal to men.

The truth is feminism is not the same as toxic feminism. And no one has to fight for their seat in the Kingdom of God.

Toxic feminism feels the need to overbear, overrule, and fight to get opportunities. The American culture has capitalized on this, but the church will end up divided and ineffective if women succumb to this mindset.

Galatians 3:28 says, "There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus.”

Jesus always championed women. We see proof of this in the New Testament with Pheobe, Junia, Priscilla, Joanna, Mary and so many others who gave their gifts, talents, finances, and lives to support Jesus's ministry.

We do not need to kick down doors for ourselves. If we truly believe the Lord and the intrinsic value He has given us, we can trust Him to open the right doors for us at the right times.
