Episode 22 features an extended conversation with ACNAtoo advocate Heather Griffin and lawyer Sam Lacy on Heather's concept of "the important man problem." They challenge us to consider what it means for the Church and the culture at large that women on the whole tend not to be listened to, believed, or respected unless a man speaks up for them. Put another way, when an "important man" in a community raises his own voice in support of a woman addressing an issue—for instance, abuse within the Church—that woman is far more likely to be taken seriously and see actual changes made.
From the episode: Heather Griffin lives in Durham, North Carolina, is an ACNAtoo advocate and has a Masters’ in Theological Studies from Duke Divinity School. Sam Lacy has an MDiv and MA in Christian Education from Princeton Theological Seminary, he pursued a PhD at University of Pennsylvania in Legal and Religious History, and then got a law degree, a JD, from NYU.
