This online 3-session workshop is designed to further enrich biblical interpretation skills — specifically the work of engaging difficult texts — and bring that learning into how women as leaders address equally challenging modern contexts.
The format for this workshop will include three synchronous sessions focused on engaging difficult passages of scripture. Participants will then be given access to pre-recorded conversations between our biblical expert and subject matter experts from fields outside of traditional theological education where they explore how church leaders can address individual experiences of trauma or harassment, and how congregations can best support and respond.
The workshop dates are January 16, 23, and 30, 2025. Each session will run from 12 to 1:30 PM ET.
