Casey Cole Higginbotham leads an honest and courageous examination and celebration of women and their stories from both Testaments and what they might mean for the Church today. Provides historical, theological, and literary insight into biblical women’s relationships with each other, with men, and with God. 

Sessions include: 

+Three Marys and a Martha: What Jesus’ interactions with these women mean for us now.

+Those Bible Verses: an academic interpretation of the Scriptures most hotly debated for gender relationship in the home, the world, and the church.

+How to Read the Rough Stuff: a pathos-approach to the ‘terrifying texts’ about women in the Bible.

Women come away from this time feeling seen, loved, and emboldened, and have a better sense of belonging and curiosity about their faith, church, and Holy Scriptures. 

A woman following Jesus? You're in good company.
