Summary
Katie McCoy, the director of Women's Ministry at Texas Baptists, shares with us that many contemporary believers misunderstand the status of women in the Old Testament. God's governance of His people before Christ's coming included a vision of women displaying their God-given dignity. With this fresh look at the women of the Old Testament, the redemptive story of history throughout Scripture comes to life.
