Complementarianism vs. Biblical Patriarchy: Explained

What’s the difference between complementarianism and biblical patriarchy—and why does it matter?

In this video, we trace the history of both terms, from the Danvers Statement and the rise of complementarianism in the late 20th century to the resurgence of biblical patriarchy today. You’ll learn how the two overlap, where they diverge, and why some Christians are abandoning one label for the other.

Whether you’re confused by the terms or trying to figure out where you land, this video will help you understand what each position actually teaches.
