Jesus opposed unfaithful leadership, not men

Returning to the article, the hosts argue its framing skews the story: Jesus' tough talk targeted male religious leaders because the leaders happened to be men, and his real target was unfaithful leadership pursuing human kingdom aims, which women are equally capable of. They revisit the article author's uncle, who lived as a non-Christian and passed on a non-Christian idiom, finding the whole thing a long article for a simple biblical point: it is fine for men to weep. John's gospel noting that not everything Jesus did was written down is read as evidence weeping was ordinary, and they confess they have said potentially offensive things before a mid-show complaint-line plug.
