Why Christian Women Should Wear Head Coverings
The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 11:5 “But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.”
For 2000 years of church history women covered their heads when they came to worship in the assembled church in obedience to this command from God’s Word. And then in the 20th century, the church bowed to the demands of feminism and allowed women to stop obeying this ordinance.
In this Three-Part series, I examine 1 Corinthians 11:1-16 and show why Christian women should wear head coverings, what the head covering is, and when they should wear head coverings.
This is part one of this series on head coverings. The next two parts deal with what the head covering is and when it is to be worn as well. I also address what the Bible is referring to when it speaks to women prophesying in the last part of this series.
To listen to the last two parts of the series you can go to BGRLearning.com and subscribe. There in addition to this series, you will find hundreds of podcasts on the topics of gender roles, courtship, marriage and sex from a Biblical perspective.

Masturbation Is Not A Sin In The Bible
Nowhere in the Scriptures does the Bible condemn masturbation either by specific command or by a general principle. Yet, since the days of the early post apostolic church, Christian theologians have waged a war on this aspect of masculine sexuality as well as masculine sexuality in general. And they continue to to so to this day.
An unfortunate truth of church history is that even while the Apostles were still alive asceticism (the belief that seeking anything that is physically pleasurable is sin) began to infest the church like a plague. The Apostle Paul tried to address the growing asceticism in Colossians 2:20-23 but his words fell on deaf ears.
The popularity of asceticism would lead early church fathers like Clement to declare that a husband's sexual desire for his wife was a desire of the flesh(the sin nature). And Augustine would later declare a husband's sexual desire for his wife to be a venial fault.
The modern church for all its faults (and they are many) has rightly recognized part of the errors of the early church in that they no longer believe the Bible condemns a husband's sexual desire toward his wife (nor that of a wife toward her husband).
But the church still clings to view that masturbation is still a sin that men and women may only experience sexual pleasure together as husbands and wives and they are absolutely forbidden to experience any kind of sexual pleasure by themselves as individuals.
To be sure, church leaders have attempted to use some Scriptures to support their false position on masturbation. And in this podcast I address all the faulty uses of Scripture to attempt to condemn the practice of masturbation.
The sad reality is - this teaching has placed a burden of guilt and shame on men for nearly 2000 years. It is time for this shaming of the masculine nature as God designed it to end. As you listen to this podcast and the Scriptures I present, you will see that you can be free from this burden placed upon you as a man.
We are called as Christian men to wage a daily war against our sin nature - not our masculine nature as God designed it. This is the truth this video presents.
I also briefly speak to the secular "No Fap" movement occurring in the manosphere today.

Why Gender Matters to God
Why does our gender matter so much to God and why does he have different rules for each gender?
Why should Christians care about homosexuality and transgenderism?
Why should it matter to us if a man dresses like a woman or a woman dresses like a man?
Why should it matter to us if a man gets surgery to look more like a woman or a woman gets surgery to look more like a man?
Why should it matter to us if two men marry or two women marry?
After answering those questions from the Bible, we will do a brief survey of English and American history which brought us to the total confusion which we face today regarding the topic of gender.

Abortion Is Only the Tip of the Feminist Iceberg
With the news we heard this week that there is a strong chance that Roe vs Wade may be overturned we as conservative Christians cannot miss the bigger picture.
Abortion is simply the tip of the iceberg of feminism. In this podcast we will discuss what societal changes laid the ground work for abortion and how feminism in America has dismantled God’s order of patriarchy piece by piece for almost 170 years. We will also discuss how we as Bible believing Christians can return our society to God’s design.

What Does The Bible Say About Gender Roles?
Several decades ago, our culture wanted to cancel out gender roles for men and women. Now they want to cancel out gender itself. And when we cancel out both gender and gender roles – we cancel out the reason God created us. Make no mistake, the modern assault on gender roles and gender itself is an attack on God, his design and his glory.
Here in this free podcast from BGRLearning.com, I explain the why gender roles are not just some trivial matter or tradition of ages past. I show from the Bible why Gender roles give us the very meaning of life.
So many people, both men and women, single and married feel lost today. They have difficulty finding true purpose in their lives or they don’t know how to plan their lives. A correct understanding of Biblical gender roles will give you that foundation to make plans that align with God’s purpose for creating you.

The Biblical Case For Domestic Discipline
Domestic Discipline (or Christian Domestic Discipline as it is referred to in Christian circles) is a phrase that over the last century has become synonymous with the ancient practice of wife spanking. Domestic Discipline of course is more than the practice of wife spanking and some men discipline their wives in non-physical ways.
In this podcast, I show from the Bible that chastening (discipline) is prescribed by God not only for children, but also for adults. And there is no special carve-out for women to be exempted from discipline whether it be physical or non-physical discipline. There of course limits which the Bible places on physical discipline and I discuss those limits in this podcast as well.

A History of the Corporal Discipline of Women
In this third and final podcast in this series on Domestic Discipline, I trace the thoughts and practices of the corporal discipline of women from the middle ages to the mid-20th century.
I also show community disciplinary practices toward women which helped to discourage women from arguing with or disrespecting the men of their communities. And I discuss several high-profile 19th century court cases which dealt with the subject of domestic discipline.

Silly, Simple & Foolish Women
In most churches today if a pastor were to preach from his pulpit that women can be silly, simple and foolish he would be voted out by the next Sunday. But did you know that the Bible describes women in these three ways? Women are more educated today than ever in the history of mankind. But sadly, most women today lack godly wisdom and silliness, simpleness and foolishness are more prominent traits among women today than ever before.

Augustine Versus John Chrysostom On The Corporal Punishment of Wives
Augustine and John Chrysostom are both regarded as saints and great sources of theology for the Catholic, Orthodox and Anglican churches and they are both highly regarded even in many other Protestant churches today. But these men had very different opinions when it came to the issue of the ancient practice of the corporal discipline of wives.
In this second podcast in my series on Domestic Discipline, I explore the differing opinions of these two giants of the Christian faith and also talk about how the differences between the Roman (Latin) and Greek (Hellenistic) cultures affected their views on the matter of the corporal punishment of women.
