In this episode, Courtney continues to chat with another contributing author to our forthcoming book, Women & Work: Bearing God’s Image and Joining in His Mission through our Work. Hannah wrote chapter 5 entitled, “Bodies of Work.”
Courtney and Hannah discuss:
– The fact that our current workspaces are systemically masculine and the challenges women face when we show up in those spaces in our female bodies
– Her answer to those who would assert that because workspaces aren’t made for women’s bodies, then women should only work at home
– Why she believes we have become a church and society that mostly emphasizes the spiritual or mental instead of the physical aspects of our humanness
– Suggestions for women whose work environments don’t honor their physical needs
– Her definition of society’s “success sequence” and how this sequence has not considered women’s bodies well
– Her thoughts on why the gender wage gap exists and what should be done about it
– How God designed our bodies from the beginning to fulfill work
– How Jesus’ work could only be accomplished in a human body
– How our bodies are an important part of us as humans and will one day be redeemed and resurrected just as Jesus’ was
