Kyle and Christi do a fantastic job of putting forward and exploring what an egalitarian approach to marriage looks like in contrast to a complementarian approach. They make smart critiques of the complementarian perspective while maintaining a compassionate attitude and tone. Really interested to see where they go with this and what kind of topics they tackle. Keep up the good work, guys!

Thoughtful, incisive, and genuine
