In this episode, Glenn Lawrence and Gia MaCool sit down with Rich Tidwell—the pastor who openly lives and teaches biblical polygyny—to confront one of the most taboo topics in modern Christianity.

This is not clickbait.
This is not shock value.
This is a serious, theological, historical, and cultural conversation the Church has refused to have.

Rich Tidwell breaks down:

• What the Bible actually says about polygyny

• Why Scripture regulates it but never condemns it

• How Greco-Roman culture—not God—shaped modern Christian marriage doctrine

• Why polygyny terrifies modern evangelicalism

• The difference between biblical patriarchy and modern egalitarian marriage

• How sexual shame theology distorted male leadership, desire, and authority

Glenn presses the hard questions most pastors won’t touch.
Gia brings clarity, tension, and the female perspective modern men never hear honestly.

This episode challenges:

• Evangelical “servant leadership” narratives

• Feminized theology around marriage

• The assumption that monogamy = biblical morality

• The Church’s fear of masculine authority and structure

Whether you agree or disagree, this conversation will force you to confront Scripture instead of tradition.

⚠️ This episode is not safe for weak theology, emotional reasoning, or cultural comfort.
