Oh, Beth, THANK YOU. I needed these words so much TODAY. I am in the midst of a small maelstrom because I recently taught that BOTH men and women were created equally in the image of God, the meaning of the Hebrew words for woman, Ezer Kenegdo in Gen 2, and called out the sin of Patriarchy in Scripture. Thank you for reminding me that the reason I continue on in my evangelical church is about JESUS, not the people in the church. Keep up the good words.

Dr. Barr, Thank you so much for your sermon. Twenty years ago I moved to a denomination that affirms women as preachers and pastors. Since then I have led, and have been led by, a number of amazing women in ministry but your affirmation of the reasons you continue in the faith is the best I have read from a preacher of either gender. Again, Thank you!

Thank you. I needed this today after a painful Sunday in my church. It is a hard time to be in the church for many of us. Pointing us back to Hebrews was a much-needed place of peace for me today. Will be praying for you and your family-for strength, rest, and shalom..

Thank you. I am sort of on the fence. My faith has taken a beating by white Christian nationalists. I have wondered if I truly want to recover. I do appreciate very much your lesson.
