0:00.0 | Recently, we published a fun little post on our Facebook page. |
0:03.8 | There was a screenshot of my face with a caption, |
0:06.5 | when they tell you to submit to men. |
0:08.7 | In response to this post, we had multiple Christians tell us that we're taking the Bible out of context. |
0:14.9 | We even had some tell us that we've misinterpreted very specific scripture or verses to force them to come to that conclusion. |

1:28.0 | even though we did not mention Christianity at all. |
1:30.7 | Give us a call. |
1:31.5 | We'd love to hear from you. |
1:32.5 | If you're a Christian who maybe didn't feel called out by it and maybe you want to |
