We have used this tool extensively with many teams of Westerners and local brothers and sisters in South Asia. It has given our team leaders and members a common biblical framework and vocabulary on women's roles and has opened up a lot of healthy discussion on this topic. 

Invite your teammates and friends over (brothers and sisters all together if possible!) for some tea/coffee and go through these Scriptures and discussion questions together. You will learn something new every time... and it will probably open up more discussions around this topic in the future.
