Welcome to Mutuality, the result of years of study about the role of men and women in the Bible. My desire is that you will want to investigate these concepts for yourself, and my hope is that you’ll understand why I’ve changed my mind about the way we’ve traditionally understood biblical patriarchy.
I want to demonstrate how the scriptures reveal:
- God’s ideal from the beginning was for men and women to be equal in value and function—to be true partners.
- Clear lessons and examples from Jesus about mutuality.
- How we have misinterpreted and misunderstood the scriptures.
- Why the roles of women and men in the church, and in the home, should be entirely gift based not gender based.
- That we can greatly impact the world when we grasp that we are created in God’s image without hierarchy.
