Believe it or not, women were central to the development of early Christianity. They were disciples of Jesus, funding his ministry, and even serving as Deacons, Prophets, Missionaries and even Apostles in the early Church. In this episode we'll look at:

*How Jesus empowered women

*Women named by Paul as fellow servants

*How the words of Paul and Jesus have been misunderstood and mistranslated to subjugate women

*Why Jesus's words about divorce are about setting women free from abusive husbands

*How male leaders in the early Church ignored Jesus and Paul to gain control
