 The Tru316 Foundation (www.Tru316.com) is the home of The Eden Podcast with Bruce C. E. Fleming where we “true” the verse of Genesis 3:16. The Tru316 Message is that “God didn’t curse Eve (or Adam) or limit woman in any way.” Once Genesis 3:16 is made clear the other passages on women and men become clear too. You are encouraged to access the episodes of Seasons 1-11 of The Eden Podcast for teaching on the seven key passages on women and men. Are you a reader? We invite you to get from Amazon the four books by Bruce C. E. Fleming in The Eden Book Series (Tru316.com/trubooks). Would you like to support the work of the Tru316 Foundation?

***Actions/Questions:*** 

1. Are you in a safe church? Talk to your church leadership about the policy and procedures they have in place and how they train their staff & volunteers.

2. Are you a safe person if someone shares their experience of abuse with them?

3. If this is your own story please know you are worth healing from it and seeking those who can truly help you along your journey. You are not alone!
