Whether you’re wrestling with this topic or just curious, this is a thoughtful and encouraging conversation you won’t want to miss. Connect with Us | Text Us: (650)600-0402

Critics often point to verses like 1 Timothy 2 and 1 Corinthians 14 to argue that the Bible is anti-women. But is that the full story?

Join us as we unpack what the Bible actually says—and doesn’t say—about slavery, and how Jesus redefines freedom. Connect with Us | Text Us: (650)600-0402
