Pastor Terran got the other staff members together. "Guys I think we've got it wrong!" I thought they all would accept  right away what I had found. But they didn't. And they went to strident people on the other side and read what they had written and I was asking for a sociological miracle.

Have you seen him talking with Sheila Gregoire on The Bare Marriage Podcast? Have you watched him correcting a YouTuber's incorrect teaching on women in ministry? Here is Part 1 in our multi-part interview of joyful South African Pastor Terran Williams, author of How God Sees Women, The End of Patriarchy.

Terran was an avid surfer who came from a divorced family, and a gay father who was one of the first to die of AIDS. Invited to a surfer camp that was a ministry outreach he heard the Good News of life in Christ and gave his heart to Jesus. Instantly he wanted to tell others this same Good News and he has been doing so ever since!

How did he become a pastor of a very large church? How did he take on the challenge to prove women should be kept out of ministry but saw the error of this view? How did his realization cost him his pastorate? What did he put in his book How God Sees Women, the End of Patriarchy.

All this and more as we launch into Season 14 of The Eden Podcast on audio and on the Tru316 YouTube Channel!

Author and scholar, Bruce C. E. Fleming walks us through the Introduction and Chapter One of his breakthrough book Back to Eden, 1 Timothy 2-3. NOTE the subtitle: Corrected and Restored by Jesus the faithful Word.

Does the Bible prohibit women from teaching men in church? Bothered by 1 Timothy 2:12? Don't be. It turns out that verse 12 is only the second half of a long sentence that starts with verse 11. And these verses are part of a major command Paul gave to Timothy on how to retrain the subgroup of overseers in Ephesus who had gone astray. 

All this and more is covered in the Back to Eden Workshop on 1 Timothy 2-3! Jean and Mimi are both trainers in our Tru School program and you can go through a 2-week long workshop with them along with author and scholar Rev. Bruce C. E. Fleming.

Nobody else had volunteered to run for Student Body President at the seminary. They were all busy with their master's level studies. I was too but when I learned the four student officers would have a private lunch every Friday with the Dean, Dr. Kantzer, I signed up. What a mentor he was to us! 

Because of that, it turned out I was chosen to represent the school the next summer at the Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization! What an experience that was. 4,000 evangelists and ministry leaders from around the world. It blew out the walls of my limited world view.

And because of that I learned of the first evangelical graduate seminary that was going to launched in French-speaking Africa. I didn't see it coming, but later I was picked to become a professor in that very school.

This is Part 2 in the pilgrimage of Bruce C. E. Fleming, co-founder of the Tru316 Foundation and host of The Eden Podcast!

Have you seen the literary patterns that speak to us in Ephesians 5:15-6:9? They prevent us from taking these verses out of context.

Paul teaches that believers are to be mutually building up one another. They are to teach and correct one another. And they are to submit themselves to what they are receiving fro one another. This is a HORIZONTAL and RECIPROCAL SUBMISSION that is world's away from the vertical submission many people teach about these verses.

Christian wives and husbands serve as an excellent example of this functional unity in Christ. These verses are not primarily about marriage. Rather, they illustrate how to be being filled with the Spirit (5:18b). They give us a picture of the unity of the body of Christ that is the central idea of this passage (5:31-32).

"I prayed to receive Christ when I was 11 years old because nobody had explained how before then," Bruce recalls. When I read the Revised Standard Version of the Bible they gave me I didn't question it. After all, the cover said "Holy Bible." 

I still don't question what God communicated to us but I have come to understand come to understand there are mis-translation and mis-interpretation issues in Genesis 3:16 and in the related passages on women and men. As the result of the extensive research of my wife, Joy Fleming, PhD, PsyD, and of my own doctoral level studies we have come to understand that God didn't curse Eve (or Adam) or limit woman in any way.

This why we have co-founded the Tru316 Foundation which is the home of The Eden Podcast, to "true" the verse of Genesis 3:16 and to spread the POSITIVE message of Eden! (www.Tru316.com)

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?

Jean Calvin in the 1500's decided that 'ezer kenegdo in Genesis 2:18 which referred to the woman who was to be created meant "cook's helper." He was wrong. Very wrong. Who was the woman? She was the "equal partner" of the man. These two together were to receive the creation mandate from God (se Genesis 1:28) to be fruitful and multiply and rule over the earth.
