  • The lies that have caused harm to women in the church.
  • The importance of looking at gender and gender relationships in light of the Gospel.
  • The value and importance of the role of women throughout redemptive history. 
  • The problem with having a narrow definition of calling and ministry for women in the church. 
  • Encouragement for women who feel that their work isn’t valued or seen.
