Love your approach

I love the way you guys are approaching this sticky topic and having honest dialogue with qualified scholars. You’re asking great questions and providing great tools, not just on the topic of gender roles but how to humbly approach the scriptures. I hope and pray it sparks some excellent conversation in many congregations!
