On today's episode of The Link, Pastor Chris tackles an important conversation about one of the vital segments of the body of Christ, women. So often, there are controversies surrounding women and what role they play. But what we must acknowledge is women are crucial members of the body of Christ, the church, our homes, and the world. With this in mind, it is important to have a conversation about God’s plan and purpose for women and some of the tension points surrounding this. Joining Pastor Chris is Dr. Jon Morales, Gina Holm, and Dr. Ravae Wilson for a discussion on all this and more.
