Are men and women valued as equal partners in the work, ministry, and function of the Church? Elyse Fitzpatrick and Eric Schumacher co-authored the book Worthy: Celebrating the Value of Women and joined us to talk about why it is not good for "man to be alone." Our conversation with Elyse and Eric centers around how God views women, how the church is stronger when men and women are working together, and how Satan wins if we don't learn to listen, give charity and value one another.
