SUMMARY:The Evangelical Spectrum on Theology of Women: A Self-Guided Workshop
DESCRIPTION:A self-guided series of recorded sessions (below.) Work through it on your own or\, even better\, with a group! \nBecause the issue of women and men in the home\, church\, and society has gained new interest over the last decade\, we have attempted to summarize the main issues in the varying positions and practice by evangelicals who all hold a high view of God’s written Word. We hope this can be a good start to an important exploration in your own process of clarity and fluency in this issue as well as a launch into even more amazement at the new life we have in Christ as Image-bearers in male and female of our Creator God! \nWhen it comes to texts that have greatly influenced modern evangelical thought\, we are dealing with issues of interpretation of Scripture\, for we are agreed on the inspiration of Scripture. And so we can expectantly and graciously engage together in an exploration of what the interpretive challenges actually are in those passages. And the interpretive decisions we all make that impact the way we walk out our faith in the area of men and women in Christ. \nBelow you’ll find the recorded parts of our online seminar that we normally do as monthly sessions with discussion and interaction interspersed (which we don’t record.) If you have a group with which to listen through these explanations of the interpretive challenges of passages that are most often used to form a position and practice\, stop at various points to hear from each other – with an attitude of respectful disagreement and listening to learn:\nWhat was new to me? What makes most sense to me at this point and why? How have I seen this taught or practiced in my sphere of influence? What do I want to think/pray about or study further? \nWatch Here: \n\n Overview and Spectrum Summary\n  Genesis 1-3\n Galatians 3\, 1 Corinthians 7\n Ephesians 5: 21-33\, 1 Peter 3:1-9\n  1 Tim 2: 8 – 15\n Review and 1 Cor 11\n 1 Corinthians 11: 2-16\, 14:26-40\n Overview Old Testament to the Church \n\nFacilitators: \nHeather Althoff currently serves as the Missions Pastor at LifeWay Church in Federal Way\, WA. While earning a bachelor’s degree in Classical Greek from Trinity University and a Master of Theology degree from Dallas Theological Seminary\, Heather developed a deep love for studying and teaching theology.  She served as the Community Life Pastor\, leading the assimilation and discipleship efforts at LifeWay from 2008-2019. In addition to teaching\, she trained small group leaders and wrote discipleship materials. She has a passion for encouraging\, training\, and resourcing people to develop their relationship with Jesus\, know their theology\, and live out their calling to share Jesus with others. In 2019\, Heather brought these same passions to LifeWay’s missions efforts. She lives in the Seattle area with her husband and two teenage kids. \nDon Turner was the President of Global Focus\, a ministry that helps local churches strategically enhance their involvement in missions.  Now retired\, Don’s background is a unique blend of corporate and ministry experience – from the United States Air Force to a Fortune 500 company in the Seattle area as Manager of Strategic Planning and Management Control Systems\, and the Assistant General Manager of Management Information Systems.  In 1987 Don left the corporate world to accept an invitation to pastoral ministry\, first as an executive pastor and then as a lead pastor\, a position he held for 21 years.  Also having served as an elder in his local church for many years\, Don also serves on the Board of IMPACT and has a strong understanding of the church and global missions. He is passionate about helping every church member maximize their impact for God’s global mission. \nWendy Wilson has served in various capacities in leadership training ministry and missions since 1984. She earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Texas A&M University and a master’s degree in biblical studies from Dallas Theological Seminary. She brings years of experience in engaging the spectrum of views in the ongoing evangelical discussion about women in ministry and marriage.  Wendy lived and travelled abroad with a pastoral training ministry\, for 28 years\, developing an ongoing process of shepherd training for women. Then She served as the Mission Advisor for Development of Women to the Missio Nexus network of 350 agencies from 2012-2024. In 2015 she became founder and director of a collaborative project she continues to lead\, Women’s Development Track\, to help agencies and churches bring the full spectrum of gifts of women more fully to bear in accomplishing the Great Commission alongside their brothers – as the Blessed Alliance! \nQuestions about our process . . or yours?
