The Why Chaser
The Why Chaser
Marcelle Ehlers
Thanks to a turbulent relationship with the church and various beliefs about God and Jesus, I have an infatuation with chasing why’s, how’s and what’s. I also love writing and sharing what I’ve thought about, read about and heard about. So here we are. I’m also a person with a heart full of pride and selfishness. This may result in truth being polluted by these dreadful attributes as it passes through me to you. So, if you’re done listening to something, and you’re not left with a deep sense of freedom that includes a reverent, fearful, awe of the Lord, chuck what you’ve heard in the bin.

My story, and the Why behind the Chaser
This is my first episode where I'm not just going to read a blog post for those who don't want to read, but speak from the heart. I felt an appropriate start would be to share my story, to help those who read my articles understand my why's and know what type of content they can expect from me. I hope you'll find bits that you can relate to, and I hope that you'll also encounter the God who saved my life.

Are women allowed to preach? Or lead a Church?
This episode is a reading of an existing article on The Why Chaser, helping those who can't read, or dislike reading, enjoy our articles. In this episode, I share my views on why women aren't preachers or church leaders, and leave the question open to the listener to decide for themselves if the Bible supports the current view that a woman can't be the Pope, or the leader of the local church.   Visit the blog for more articles like this one, or subscribe to the podcast for future episodes.
