Companions - Episode 17

As we wrap up our summer journey through Paul’s letters, we step back to see the bigger picture. Why does context matter when we read Paul? How do we make sense of difficult passages like 1 Timothy 2:11–15, where Paul seems to restrict women, alongside his affirmations of women leaders throughout the church? And what did Paul mean when he said, “All Scripture is God-breathed”? In this episode, Pastor Angelo and Pastor Becca explore how understanding Paul’s context — both local and global — helps us read his words faithfully, avoid prooftexting, and see how his letters still point us to Christ today.
