They told me I’m just the “helper.” They told me I’m the “weaker vessel.” But the Bible tells a different story — one that reveals women as God’s crown of creation, His grand finale, and co-heirs of the Kingdom.🔥 In this episode of Dichotomy with Shannon, we break down the lies, mistranslations, and weaponized verses that have been used to silence women for centuries. From Deborah to Esther, Mary Magdalene to the women at the tomb, scripture is full of bold women who led, preached, and prophesied with the authority of God Himself.📖 What you’ll hear in this episode:The real meaning of “helper” in Genesis (spoiler: it’s the same word used for God)Why “weaker vessel” was never meant to diminish womenHow Jesus consistently elevated and defended womenThe warrior women of the Bible that the church doesn’t preach aboutWhy women are not second-class saints, but God’s masterpiece💥 If you’ve ever been told to “stay quiet” or “submit” in the name of religion, this one’s for you. When women rise, heaven’s order is restored — and hell doesn’t stand a chance.👉 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe if this message hit home.
