Welcome to Grafted: Jewish Roots of Christianity! My guest is Kinsey Joy Langen.
Host Stephanie Pavlantos interviews TikTok creator, author, and teacher Kinsey Largen about studying Scripture in its original languages through a Torah-rooted, Hebraic framework and challenging teachings that silence women. Largen argues that Paul’s letters must be read with their historical context (e.g., Ephesus, Roman household codes) and linguistic details (including the Greek “submit” vs. “obey,” and mutual submission in Ephesians), portraying Paul as countercultural and supportive of women such as Phoebe, Junia, and Priscilla.
They discuss how misuse of “authority” enabled abuse, emphasize marriage as partnership under the Holy Spirit rather than “power over,” and explore Genesis language for male and female roles (zakar, neqevah, ezer kenegdo) as complementary equality. Largen also stresses Hebrew love as action, boundaries as freedom, and creating space for critical thinking and disagreement.
