LIES WE BELIEVE – Gender Lies

The majority of content must be captured through the audio - Part 1 & Part 2.... Much of the information presented comes from "25 Questions & "10 Lies the Church Tells Women" by J. Lee Grady

Gender Lies - Review from last week

GENDER LIES  A few examples…

·        Women are not equipped nor should they ever lead – they are created to be followers not leaders

·        Men do not have the capacity to be as emotional as women

·        Women are more easily deceived than men

·        A man needs to ‘cover’ a woman in her ministry activities

·        Men are analytical, love sports & lack nurturing capabilities

And .. most women love to shop, have babies, cook and stay home.. men love the remote control, tv and being in a man cave…   NOT!

Lie #4 Women must obediently submit to their husbands in all situations
