When the Lion Lost His Roar: Pentecostalism, Feminism, and the Emasculation of the Church

What happens when feminism dismantles biblical headship and Pentecostalism replaces shepherds with showmen? You get a lion without a roar — a church stripped of its strength, its witness, and its God-given order.

In this episode of Reasonable Christianity, Roland O’Neil Albertus exposes how the fusion of feminism and Pentecostal excess has weakened men, silenced truth, and turned pulpits into stages. From the erosion of biblical manhood in the home, to the rise of charisma-driven leaders in the church, to the inevitable abuse of God’s Word and God’s people — the consequences are everywhere.

But this is not a call to despair. It’s a call to recover the roar of biblical manhood, the beauty of biblical womanhood, and the strength of God’s unchanging design. Drawing from Scripture, church history, and voices like Voddie Baucham, R.C. Sproul, and C.S. Lewis, this episode challenges Christians to stand firm, rebuild the foundations, and live boldly countercultural lives for the sake of the gospel.
