Theology is the study of the nature of God. By that definition, a theologian doesn’t have to take the shape of C.S. Lewis or Saint Augustine or Thomas Aquinas. Anyone can be theologian.
That’s the mindset that Phylicia Masonheimer had when she created her ministry, Every Woman a Theologian. “We at EWAT argue for a different kind of theologian: the theologian who drives to her corporate job every morning, who knows what it’s like to be single at thirty, or who juggles babies while her husband travels for work,” she writes. “Yes, we believe every woman should be a theologian. Every woman should be a student of the heart of God.”
Phylicia is such a gifted writer and thinker, it was a joy to welcome her on the podcast this week. I’ve followed her for a while, but we connected recently after I came across an essay of hers where she shared her experience with secondary infertility. That resonated deeply with me as Emily and I are in the midst of our own infertility journey.
Much of our conversation centers around that topic — how to navigate it as well as how to care for those in your life that are experiencing infertility or miscarriage. Phylicia also shares her testimony and how an addiction to erotica is what propelled her into writing in the first place. Her vulnerability has continued to resonate with readers for over two decades, and I’m grateful she was willing to share her story on the podcast this week.
She’s the author of several books, including Every Woman a Theologian and Every Home a Foundation. She also has tons of free resources centered around theology on her website, phyliciamasonheimer.com.
