Dr. Joy Fleming reads from the book by Della Olson, "A Woman of Her Times - Stories of Women who dared to place obedience to the commands of Christ above submission to the traditions of men." First Lady of the Evangelical Free Church of America (EFCA) for 34 years, and knowing the languages of the Nordic countries at the root of the EFCA, she delves into history and lifts up those whose stories have been forgotten. The Tru316 Foundation (www.Tru316.com) is the home of The Eden Podcast with Bruce C. E. Fleming where we “true” the verse of Genesis 3:16. The Tru316 Message is that “God didn't curse Eve (or Adam) or limit woman in any way.” Once Genesis 3:16 is made clear the other passages on women and men become clear too. You are encouraged to access the episodes of Seasons 1-11 of The Eden Podcast for teaching on the seven key passages on women and men. Are you a reader? We invite you to get from Amazon the four books by Bruce C. E. Fleming in The Eden Book Series (Tru316.com/trubooks). Would you like to support the work of the Tru316 Foundation?

ONE THING A new command I give you: Love Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. – 1 Corinthians 13:1-8a (NLT)
