From CBE’s 2024 Conference “Tell Her Story: Women in Scripture and History” in Denver, Colorado.
Get to know the powerful stories of women who participated in God-ordained service throughout the Bible. Together we will explore women whom God raised up as prophets, women who behave like prophets because their words are recorded as Scripture, and women of valor who were approved by God when they stepped outside of the norms expected of women. There will be a focus on how women in Jesus’s ministry were commended as ministers, were models of faith, and were treated with value. Finally, the session will describe how Acts portrays the central role that women played in the spread of the gospel. The cumulative impact of these God-inspired stories is that there is no function of “authority” or ministry relevant to the early church for which women are not commended.
