I often felt I only had two choices: remain a doormat or become a raging feminist. Stay sweet or be a 'Jezebel'. Were there any other options? Is it possible to be a woman of strength and still honor God? Are godly women expected to be meek and quiet? What does Biblical submission look like? And the question which haunted me for years: What does it really mean to be a 'help meet'? Join Maria Dyck as she explores the answers to these questions to find God's purpose for women. Follow along as she dives into the original Hebrew phrase Ezer Kenegdo to understand the beauty of God's design in the Garden of Eden and why understanding this identity is critical for the church today. Drawing on her Mennonite heritage and her own experience Maria shares the journey which led her to discover surprising truths about the role of women within the Bible and embrace the identity which God designed for her.
