i love your highlighting on this classical jesus story. i grew up in the church and haven't thought about many of the stories i heard then for quite some time. it is certainly a radical model of the "mothering leadership", as you put it, that jesus showed the disciples. i, too, agree the healthy feminine needs to lead, especially for balancing that toxic masuclinity that has gone warward and extreme for far too long.

i really like how @solarsupermama put it, that it's unhealthy because it's lacking the feminine. this can also be thought of as hypermasculinity. great write up! i've loved your responses for this entire series and i really appreciate you dreaming up this question for us. i've found it so nourishing and fun! to answer these questions in such an amazing group that we have here with #ecotrain. blessings, clara <3!
