Hey everyone, this is Patrick Mason.

Last year's Restore Gathering was one of the highlights of my year, and this year's

gathering is going to be even bigger and better.

In addition to the fantastic lineup of speakers, there will be amazing art, and we promise

the music will be better than your word choir.

So come join us at Restore on October 13th and 14th at the Mountain America Expo Center

in Sandy, Utah.

For tickets, go to faithmatters.org slash restore, and see you there.

Hey everybody, this is Tim Chavez from Faith Matters.

This week we were lucky enough to spend some time with Melinda Wheelwright Brown to talk

about her book, Eve and Adam, discovering the beautiful balance which was published

by Deseret Book.

We thought it would be great to start the year diving right into the first pages of the

Old Testament, the chapters that we usually refer to as the story of Adam and Eve.

Of course, as you've probably already noticed, Mindy's book retitles that story, and you'll

hear why she did that right near the beginning of the podcast.

The book does an amazing job of getting into the details of what we learn in the Bible,

in the Pearl of Great Price, and from other sources, and shows us how unfortunate misunderstandings

or worse have led many over the centuries to relegate women into a place of submission

or even contempt.

Not only does Mindy show that Eve is very much Adam's equal, but that she deserves her own

special place of honor and respect, one that the restoration does much to bring back.
