117: The Involvement of Women in the Ministries of Jesus and Paul with Rebekah Hargraves (Solo Episode 8)

Rebekah Hargraves is the host of the Home and Hearth Podcast, which, up until recently, has always been mostly an interview-style podcast. Now, however, she is branching out into recording the eighth of her solo podcasts to  piggy-back a bit off the topic of her last solo podcast on the topic of God's beautiful "ezer" design for women, to show many examples of women living out this very design as they partnered together with both Jesus and Paul in their earthly ministries. What She Chats about in Today's Episode: ~A NT survey of how women lived as ezers alongside both Jesus and Paul ~The patriarchal myth that women are to be on the sidelines while the Great Commission is being lived out; the problem with gendering this command ~What the Bible shows us about women providing financially for Jesus' ministry ~The many cases in the Gospels of women being actively involved in Jesus' earthly ministry ~The love, compassion, respect, concern, and care Jesus regularly showed to women ~The women at Calvary and at the tomb ~The woman at the well, the first evangelist ~Mary, a student at Jesus' feet right alongside the men; Jesus' welcoming of her to that sacred place; the anti-patriarchal message behind the story of Mary and Martha ~The involvement of women in the ministry of Paul ~The women (namely Phoebe, Priscilla, Mary, Junia, Tryphena and Tryphosa, and Julia) Paul praises in Romans 16 for their involvement in his ministry, and what we can learn from what he says about each one ~Luke's words about Lydia, the first convert in Europe and the woman in whose home the church at Philippi met ~The women of Luke 8 ~Paul and Luke's praising of Priscilla and the work she did  ~And more!
