Week 1 - Context/Eve/Overarching Themes

This was our "get-to-know-you" night. It was also our night for foundational ideas and laying out the plan.


The questions we discussed:
1. Who are you?
2. What have you learned about women of the Bible in the past?
3. Who are your favorite Biblical women and why?
4. What are your concerns or questions?
5. How do you view womanhood?
6. Are men and women different? How? Why? Why not?
7. If we have a "wildcard" spot for someone else, who would you want to study?
8. Other thoughts....(Testimonies)


The overarching themes for the summer:
All Scripture is for the glory of God, points to Christ and offers hope.
Biblical Manhood and Womanhood (why are we created the way we are? what are we designed for? what is our role? what is our purpose? what does God's Word say?)
