As we prayed a serpent started slithering toward our bare feet! I got up silently and followed it around the house. Then I saw a rock the size of a snowball. ... This real event drove home the battle between our enemy in the Garden and our interpretation of Genesis 3! On this episode of The Eden Podcast.

The new believers had been taught both Good News and bad news. The result, even after 25 years, was encouraging and discouraging. Eve had been blamed as a Temptress. Adam had been elevated as a ruler. Village women were treated no better than the barnyard goats!

This is why the Tru316 Foundation works to correct the bad news believed and taught by so many. When we look at the Hebrew and Greek texts underlying our beliefs we can true up our theology to match what the text actually says!

Is this helpful? Yes! Is it vital? Absolutely! Please join with us at Tru316.com/partner.

They "inspired hearts and woke up the church." So said Dr. Haddad in presenting Joy and Bruce Fleming, as a couple, with the LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD. 

The backstory? When Joy first read them as a girl THE VERSES ON EVE AND ADAM in the English translations seemed to NOT FIT with the whole of Scripture. She prayed and asked God to teach her about them when she had the opportunity. In France, doing doctoral research, she looked deeper into those Hebrew words in Genesis 2-3. What she found she reported in her book MAN AND WOMAN IN BIBLICAL UNITY. She and Bruce have worked tirelessly to spread the positive insights of Eden ever since!

Mimi says, "I always felt there was something wrong about the teaching on THOSE passages. Then I found the Tru316 research. It makes such sense. It aligns with who I've felt God to be." After she discovered The Eden Podcast she bought the study books based on the episodes and studied deeply. Today she leads the discussion sessions of Tru School Workshops!

Perhaps you would like to go deeper? There are 4 books in The Eden Book Series. Each Tru School Zoom Workshop works through one of these books in several hour-long evening meetings!

Here are the links starting with The Book of Eden and The Eden Workshop.

In Asia she was asked, "Is there a difference in what your GOD believes about the STATUS OF WOMEN and what the CHRISTIANS practice?"

Good News? There were many conversions in Central Asia after EVANGELISM became possible 30 years ago. Bad News? Sadly, the new believers were taught a HIERARCHICAL message as well. Dr. Leslie and Dr. Chad Segraves are bringing a NEW WAVE OF GOOD NEWS of unity in the Body of Christ. Their focus is on countries in the 10/40 window.  These two missiologists co-founded and co-direct the 10/40 Connections Ministry. Their website is https://www.1040connections.org/
