Elyse Fitzpatrick & Eric Schumacher | The Value of Women, 141

Elyse Fitzpatrick and Eric Schumacher join Amber to discuss the worth and value of women displayed in the Scripture and how the evangelical church has often missed the mark in how it views men and women and their partnership in God’s work.

Questions Elyse, Eric and Amber Discuss:

1. (5:00) Eric: As we begin, will you share how your approach to shepherding women in the local church has been shaped over the years and how male ministry leaders can view women in their church as partners in the gospel?
2. (12:34) Elyse: You have authored 25 books on daily living and the Christian life, why Worthy: Celebrating the Value of Women? 
3. (16:37) Both: Something I appreciate is the way you pointed out the way women were celebrated beginning in Creation, the Fall and all the way through the early Church.  What are a few texts you wrote about that Christians often read and miss the value and worth God placed on women?
4. (26:43) Both: The OT has many verses that can be deemed as devaluing women. How do you address these verses in addition to the women of the Bible you wrote about in Worthy? 
5. (34:40) Both: Let’s talk about the apostle Paul.  It is easy to feel like Paul was a suppressor of women, due to controversial passages like 1 Tim. 2 and 1 Cor. 11, but you write about Paul, Lydia and the women who were there at the beginning of the Philippian church. Talk about the way Paul placed value on women.
6. (46:46) Both: What was your greatest hope for the reader of Worthy?
