Paul Grimmond: How godliness differs for men and women and how to teach it!

How does godliness play out differently if I am a man, a woman, a young man, a young woman, a husband or a wife?

All Christians are called to live like Christ.  Why does the Apostle Paul choose to write about what godliness looks like for the older and younger and for us as men and women, rather than more generally for us as people?

Does our age and sex have implications for the challenges we face in living for Jesus?

Are these things just human constructs or elements of divine gift?

And what implications does this have for how we think about discipleship and our lived experience of complementarian ministry?

Paul Grimmond is a senior lecturer at Sydney’s Moore Theological College.  Paul gave the keynote address at the Priscilla and Aquila conference.
