      <title>The Way God's Made Us Is Beautiful, Not A Burden</title>
      <link>https://claritynotconsensus.pcnswwomen.org.au/podcast/the-way-gods-made-us-is-beautiful-not-a-burden</link>
      <description>Clare serves on the ministry team of her church in Perth while also lecturing in theology at university. As she trained women for ministry, she began to notice a troubling pattern: many gifted women were well-prepared theologically, yet struggled to flourish once they joined church staff teams.  So she started asking deeper questions. What does it actually look like when men and women work well together in complementarian settings? Where does it break down? And why?</description>

      <description>In this episode of "Clarity, Not Consensus," we sit down with leaders from Epping Presbyterian Church to explore a sensitive topic that often divides congregations: women in ministry. Darwin, Wendy, and Steph share their journey of navigating theological differences with grace, humility, and a commitment to unity. Through open conversations, deep listening, and a shared focus on Christ, they demonstrate how a church can address complex issues while maintaining love and respect for one another. Their story offers a powerful model of how Christian communities can embrace diversity and remain "united around Jesus."</description>
