The Eden Podcast with Bruce C. E. Fleming Bruce C. E. Fleming, Dr. Joy Fleming

"A woman's calling is worth more than 5 minutes in the loo!" so says British-born leader/trainer Jo Saxton who founded the 'Ezer Collective to encourage women leaders in the church. Why? And how? This is Part One on The Eden Podcast. Join Co-host Christy Gudim and Jo Saxton now!

Part Two of Dr. Mark Strauss Vice Chair of the NIV Committee on Bible Translation. Yes, he once was voted down when he proposed "brothers and sisters" for "brothers."

How do we translate Greek verses that clearly include men and women. One cannot always say, "Literally a word means 'fathers'" when clearly the range of potential meaning in some cases includes mother and father." Join us for this lively discussion on The Eden Podcast with the Vice Chair of the NIV Update Committee, Dr. Mark Strauss, author of 40 Questions About Bible Translation.

Some commentators DON'T KNOW WHY Paul put these ideas in chapter 2 of 1 Timothy! They haven't seen that Paul is dealing with the second of his own three sins and with those who committed similar sins. This is chapter 3 of the book Back to Eden on 1 Timothy 2-3 by Bruce C. E. Fleming. Learn why Paul writes about persecutors and wants all to come to knowledge of the savior! See how these verses lead up to his command to retrain and restore women overseers to active ministry again.

We asked Andrew Bartlett about Mike Winger's many videos. On this episode of The Eden Podcast here are his comments.
All this put Bruce in mind of the lesson in logic he learned in seminary one day - "Many weak arguments do not add up to one strong argument. Many weak arguments only add up to one big WEAK argument!" Find out what kind of arguments Andrew makes of Mike's arguments!

They found themselves worshiping in a church that barred women from leadership in ministry where a woman asked Andrew for some books on the question. The next week she observed that the books were so one sided. Wasn't there a balanced resource available?? That's when he took on the challenge to write such a book. Men and Women in Christ appeared in 2019! Always learning and evaluating, Andrew now is working on a second edition.
