As Christians, we need to reclaim the lost virtue of hospitality if we are going to be like Jesus. That means building trust with others and relationships! If we are going to be a blessing to others and earn the right to share our faith. Because when we are unheard, we feel alone and unloved. But, when we are heard, we feel known and experience love. One of the best places to help others sense they belong is by sharing a meal together with them. One of the best ways to practice sharing our faith is by sharing a meal with our neighbor.

Welcome to the RVCC Podcast, where we embark on a journey to "Read Scripture Responsibly." In this series, we delve into the depths of biblical texts, uncovering their historical, cultural, and theological layers to better understand their relevance today. In our inaugural episode, join hosts Krystal, Jeff, and Joe as they explore one of the most debated passages in the New Testament: 1 Timothy 2:11–15. Often cited in discussions about women's roles in the church, this passage may seem restrictive at first glance. However, when examined within its historical and cultural context, it reveals a richer and more nuanced message.Discover the challenges faced by the early church in Ephesus, the groundbreaking encouragement for women's education, and the importance of character over gender in church leadership. As we break down this passage, we aim to equip you with the tools to read Scripture with depth and responsibility, ensuring that its teachings empower rather than restrict.Join us as we uncover the richness of God's Word, challenge preconceived notions, and inspire a deeper understanding of faith. If you find this episode enlightening, share it with a friend or leave a review. Let's continue the conversation and grow together in our journey of faith.
