When I teach on mutuality, people are shocked to hear so many women mentioned in scripture that are never used in teaching. Most of them are never spoken of at all in their churches (mine included). And being able to present this list in Romans 16 actually angers some, as these women were co-workers with Paul and other men, and they are told women are never to teach or openly work in faith, just serve where they are told. It completely changes their view of how God sees women. Thank you for your work, which continues support me as I teach.
I am so grateful Becky has been writing these questions. I just know she will take the reflections to the next level for readers. I read through an encouraging FB post yesterday where I learned of churches and leaders using the EBS volumes, and I know Becky's questions help both pastors preparing sermons and small group leaders and individuals.

Becky asks such great questions.

I am continually moved by the implications of the role of women in Romans 16. Life changing.
