  • Thoughtful, informative, and interesting!

    I appreciate The Alabaster Jar because it is so different from other Christian podcasts for women. Smart, educated women chat and interview other smart, educated women about amazing, often overlooked women in the Bible and early church. I was lucky enough to take a course on NT women from Dr. Lynn Cohick, and I love that I can continue to learn from her on this podcast. I always end my time here feeling informed, encouraged, and seen.

  • Thank you Dr Cohick!

    I met Dr Cohick at Kerygma this year and my eyes have been opened to the woman’s role in church leadership. I had no idea and honestly, looked down on women in leadership roles in the church. But God has been teaching me & “expanding my territory” in unfathomable ways. Thank you for your faithfulness & honesty in your journey. I love the guests on this podcast & the topics discussed. Thank you!

  • Fantastic

    Where has this podcast been my whole life!? It is like a cool breeze on face. It is so exhausting to feel that wall of invisible distrust of the feminine…why is it the same in the church as in the rest of the population? Isn’t Jesus our example? There is so much to mourn…but wow do I thank God for you Dr. Cohick and Dr. Imes.

  • Excellent and informative

    I met Lynn at Kyrigma 2 yrs ago. I have followed the podcast since. I love it. I have been able to use the knowledge gained to teach my class at church. I also have been encouraged by the understanding of what women really add to the body of Christ.
