CBE Endorsement: CBE has a long and beautiful history of advocating for women and men co-laboring together in the body of Christ. CBE’s commitment to seeing women teach, preach, and lead with their brothers is critical in an evangelical context that is limping along as women remain sidelined. I am grateful for the rich theological resources that CBE has faithfully been providing for the Church.

Tara Beth Leach serves on CBE’s Board of Reference.
