Episode 253: The 93% Myth: That Stat That Says Fathers Are More Important Than Mothers Is Made Up!
Manage episode 443329284 series 2475659
Ever heard the stat from “a recent study” that found that, when a husband comes to Christ first, in 93% of cases the wife and kids follow, but when the wife comes to Christ first, it’s only 17%? That stat is EVERYWHERE, quoted by the head of the SBC; heads of seminaries; heads of counseling organizations. The problem? No one ever cites the original source. So today Beth Allison Barr and Miranda Zapor Cruz, both academics looking into gender relations in church, join me to try to track down the source. And spoiler alert: People seem to have made this up about 30 years ago—and they keep quoting it! We look at why this matters, and what happens when churches assume this stat is true.
