About the Episode

In this episode of the Hope + Help Podcast, Christine Chappell interviews authors Elyse Fitzpatrick & Eric Schumacher via Facebook LIVE about their book, Worthy: Celebrating the Value of Women. During the conversation, Elyse reflects on various narratives in the Scriptures that offer hope to women who feel burdened, broken, or beaten up by their past, and highlights key examples of how the Lord used women throughout redemptive history. Eric shares how his approach to shepherding women in the local church has been shaped over the years and considers practical applications for how male ministry leaders might view women in their congregations as partners in the gospel. Together, Elyse & Eric shine a light on the heart of God toward women, explaining how the Scriptures prove not only their necessity for human flourishing, but also for kingdom expansion.

Worthy: Celebrating the Value of Women

What does the Bible say about the value of women?  Does the Bible teach that women are as valuable as men or does it portray them as somehow more flawed, more suspect, or weak and easily deceived?

Beginning from Genesis and working all the way through the storyline of the Bible, Worthy demonstrates the significant and yes, even surprising, ways that God has used women to accomplish His kingdom goals. Because, like men, they are created in His image, their lives reflect and declare His worth. Worthy will enable and encourage both men and women to embrace this true and lofty vision of God’s creation, plan, and their value in His eyes.

Bestselling author Elyse Fitzpatrick and pastor Eric Schumacher together invite women to embrace a transformative and empowering view of their Maker, themselves, and the church. But this isn’t only a book for women. It is also a book for men, especially leaders, who want to grow in their understanding of God’s perspective on women, people who normally make up the majority of their congregations; men who might be wondering if they’ve missed something amid the abuse scandals that are rocking the church. Might the headlines they’re reading today about abuse have their roots in a denigration of the value and worth of women? Worthy: Celebrating the Value of Women will help every reader see the value, place, and calling of women through study questions and a “Digging Deeper” section that will help men and women discover how to cherish, value, and honor one another for God’s glory.
