Sister, Let's HealLet's Answer: Is the Bible Good for Women?You’ve probably heard it, maybe even questioned it. With what we know about the hardships and injustices that women faced throughout the Old and New Testament, how are we as Western Christian women of 2024 supposed to feel about what these women went through? It might make us feel uncomfy to ask that question, but don’t be like me and look past it for years. Instead, let’s dive in.Referenced Scriptures for Further Exploration:1 Corinthians 11:7-91 Corinthians 14:34-35Genesis 19Judges 19Jeremiah 31:22Genesis 16John 42024-09-1625 min
