Martha, Mary and Mayhem

Martha, Mary and Mayhem

Martha, Mary and Mayhem, hosted by Cassandra Barbato and Amber Jenks, is where truth confronts tradition and the Gospel shatters strongholds. With bold biblical teaching and candid conversation, they’re digging into Scripture, challenging inherited assumptions, and rediscovering the freedom, authority, and grace found in Christ.

The Proverbs 31 woman has been handed to generations of women like a holy to-do list—but that misses the bigger picture.

This woman is Lady Wisdom in action: strong, strategic, skilled, generous, financially savvy, and rooted in the fear of the Lord. She buys land, builds wealth, manages resources, teaches wisdom, cares for the vulnerable, and is praised for the fruit of her own hands.

In this season finale, Cas...

In Episode 7, The Very Good, we head into the New Testament and meet women who didn’t just sit on the sidelines—they carried the gospel, taught truth, led, served, and worked alongside the apostles.

From Mary Magdalene, the first witness of the resurrection sent to preach the Gospel, to Phoebe, Junia, and Priscilla, Scripture gives us a compelling picture of women actively participating in the work and leadership...

God didn’t need a “Plan B” when He called women to lead.

In this episode, we look at Deborah, Jael, and Huldah—women God deliberately used to lead, speak His word, and deliver His people.

We unpack why Deborah’s leadership was not evidence that there were “no good men,” why Barak’s request for her presence wasn’t cowardice, and how Huldah was trusted to deliver an ...

So… is the husband really the “head of the household”? Funny thing—Scripture never actually says that.

In this episode, we take a closer look at what Paul means when he calls the husband the “head” of the wife in Ephesians 5 and 1 Corinthians 11. Does “head” mean boss, final decision-maker, or spiritual authority? Or have we added a little more to the metaphor than Paul did?

Did Paul really hang a “Women Need Not Apply” sign for church leadership?

In 1 Timothy 3, the difference between “if any man” and “if anyone” is no small translation choice. We dig into the Greek, tackle the phrase “husband of one wife,” and explore multiple passages on the subject to see if Paul was restricting leadership to men.

Spoiler: Women may apply.

“Women should be silent in church.” Case closed—or is it?

In this episode, Cassandra and Amber take a closer look at 1 Corinthians 14:34–36, the surrounding context, Paul’s rhetorical style, and the very inconvenient fact that Paul had already acknowledged women praying, prophesying, teaching, and participating in the gathered church.

Before we turn two verses into a permanent gag order, ...

Does the Lord allow women preachers and teachers or is 1 Timothy 2:12 really God’s permanent “No Girls Allowed” sign for ministry. Have we mistaken Paul’s response to a troubled church for a universal restriction on every woman, everywhere... forever?

Cassandra and Amber dig into the false teaching circulating in Ephesus, the influence of the goddess Artemis, and the context surrounding Paul’s i...

In this episode of Martha, Mary and Mayhem, Cassandra Barbato and Amber Jenks head back to Genesis in search of truth and unity. Turns out God already gave us both when He said, “Let them rule.”

We’re talking Adam, Eve, the garden, the fall, and a few long-standing church assumptions that may need to be escorted politely—but firmly—out of the building. With Scripture open they dig into what the ...
