If you’ve ever been misunderstood, overlooked, or told you’re “second best” because of your gender, this message is for you! There is a consistent pattern throughout the Bible of God empowering women to lead with purpose. God is still equipping His daughter to advance His Kingdom on Earth!
Lisa Harper, Kristi McLelland, Toni Collier, Janice Gaines, and Dr. Lynn Cohick address 1 Timothy 2:12 and discuss God's heart for women. If Scripture has been taken out of context and used marginalize or silence you, it's time to talk about it!
