This year’s workshop is an opportunity to wrestle with some of the most challenging passages in Scripture, especially as women. With the help of Katie McCoy, PhD, we’ll zoom in on Old Testament laws that pertain to women in the areas of female biology, infidelity, sexual assault, and more.
Together, we’ll grow in understanding the cultural context of these laws, what they mean for us today, and what they ultimately tell us about God as the Lawgiver. We’ll also recognize how our current cultural lenses impact our interpretation of these passages and find that God deeply values women, provides justice for them, and calls His people to care for those vulnerable in society.
What if these difficult passages could move from ones we avoid or misunderstand to ones that fuel our assertion that our God is unmatched in His character and love for women? How would our relationships with our Father change? How would our witness to the world change? We hope you’ll join us on Saturday, August 10!
