Outside of Sunday

In this episode of Outside of Sunday, we sit down with Phylicia Masonheimer, founder of Every Woman a Theologian, for an honest and thought-provoking conversation about faith and what it means to be a woman passionate about ministry.

Phylicia shares her powerful testimony - from growing up in a Christian home to walking through a hidden addiction at a young age, and ultimately finding true freedom in Christ. From there, the conversation opens up into the bigger questions many Christian women wrestle with: What is my role? Where do I fit? And how do I follow Scripture faithfully without losing the heart God has given me?

We unpack the tension many women feel around ministry, what the Bible actually says, where confusion can creep in, and why theology isn’t just for a select few. We also explore the balance of Spirit and Truth, the beauty of God’s design for men and women, and why women aren’t “less than” - but uniquely called.

In part two of Chantelle’s story, the journey continues through heartbreak, hard biblical questions, and the painful reality of a marriage falling apart. At the centre of this episode is a deep conviction Chantelle carried through it all: I made a covenant. She shares what it looked like to cry out to God in despair, seek to honour Christ in an unequally yoked marriage, and wrestle firsthand with what Scripture says when an unbelieving spouse wants to leave.
With honesty and wisdom, she offers encouragement for those walking through similar pain, before sharing how God continued writing her story in unexpected ways - including a trip to the USA, a second chance at love, and the redemption she found on the other side of deep suffering.
This episode is tender, hope-filled, and grounded in biblical truth and the faithfulness of God.

In this episode of Outside of Sunday, Chantelle shares a deeply personal testimony all about faith, love, and how things don’t always turn out the way we hope.
Chantelle grew up in New Zealand, came to know and love Jesus from a young age, and genuinely wanted to honour Him with her life. When she started a relationship with someone who didn’t know Christ, it was complicated - but over time, things seemed to change. He was showing interest in faith, coming along to church, pursued Bible school and promised to love Chantelle as Christ loves the Church - it looked like he was pursuing God just like she was.
So she said yes.
But on their honeymoon… something didn’t feel right.
This is an honest account of Christian dating and marriage, navigating hope and discernment, and the reality that only God truly knows the heart.
