Her boss at church told her to STOP TEACHING WOMEN IN CHURCH on Sunday mornings! The church board was unanimous in its decision. Learn their three reasons and her response to being stopped that Sunday. This is the Dr. Cynthia Hester Story on The Eden Podcast! 

She began to research the biblical basis of lack of biblical grounds for the damaging step the church had taken. Her steps since then have retraced the steps of The Apostle Paul and the early centuries of church leadership!.

Dr. Cynthia Hester teaches, writes, and speaks on topics of faith and women, both women in the Bible and church history. In 2014, she began questioning her value as a female and her place in the church. It became vital to her to understand what the Bible says about women. So, she enrolled in a deep-dive seminary course on foundations of women in ministry, and continues to passionately study this topic. She has studied Koine Greek, traveled to Israel, Italy, Greece, and Ireland to research women in ministry in the early church.

She earned a master’s degree and a doctorate at Dallas Theological Seminary. Cynthia is a contributing author to the award-winning book 40 Questions About Women in Ministry (Kregel, 2023). She writes a bi-monthly newsletter Querying Questions, and she writes for the women’s leadership blog at Bible.org. 

In 2021, Cynthia founded Theology of Women Academy®. In her online academy, she teaches Christ-followers, including ministry leaders, the spectrum of orthodox views on women and the church to equip them to develop their beliefs—their theology of women.

They realized the ROLES imposed on them weren't working and didn't match the GIFTS God had given them. In China, they adjusted their expectations. One was called to Business. The other to Ministry. Neither their host country nor their home culture had prepared them to practice God's leading. Their epic adventure is told in The Rachel Addington Story on this episode of The Eden Podcast!

Rachel and Bruce also talk about key passages that have been mishandled - resulting in misdirecting and harming those who have been caught up in unhealthy belief systems.

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!
