Was Paul a Misogynist? What We've Been Missing | 1 & 2 Timothy

Lisa Harper's Back Porch Theology

About this episode

On today's episode Back Porch Theology, Lisa and Allison are joined by Dr. Amy Orr-Ewing to explore some of the most misunderstood passages in 1 and 2 Timothy. From Paul's instructions about women in the church to his encouragement to stand firm in faith, they explore how understanding the cultural context of Ephesus changes the way we read these letters. Together, they remind us that spiritual maturity, sound doctrine, and courageous faith are just as essential today as they were in the early church. So pull up a chair and join us - we're so glad you're here!
