Jennifer Knust “Unprotected Texts”

Lectio Divina
Luke 1: 46-55
“His mercy extends to those who fear Him…”
”He has shown strength with his arm;
    he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts;
 he has brought down the mighty from their thrones
    and exalted those of humble estate;” (similar to the beatitudes)
“remembering…as I told your fathers…”

Women in the Bible
Deborah: Judges 4 Saved Israel when a man wimped out
Bathsheba: Ancient Desperate Housewife
Jezabelle & Esther: Both use looks to convince leadership to do save a people group
Mary Mother of Jesus: Enough said
Lydia: merchant, Acts 16:1-15, image or progressiveness in church, started and lead churches
Women had a huge role in the teachings of Jesus.
Phoebe: Letter Carrier (assigned by Paul) (Romans 16)

Were women treated, or represented fairly in the Old Testament?

The Bible is a living, breathing thing.

Are we still writing, and/or living, stories where the good girl goes to heaven and the bad girl goes to hell? If so, how do we respond to that? How do we respond to that in current culture?

Hi everyone!!! The newest edition of the Brewery Percolations newsletter is out!

An interview from NPR about sexuality with Jennifer Wright Knust about her book Unprotected Texts, a book we will be referencing in our Badass Women series at @thebrewerycc

RUTH study starts this week.

Follow The Brewery CC at www.thebrewerycc.tumblr.com or find us on Facebook and Twitter. We will look at various women of scripture to introduce this controversial book of the Bible.

Wednesday 8-10pm at Stingers Coffe on McArdle/Airline in Corpus Christi, Texas.

The March issue of the Brewery Percolations.

N.T. Wright on Genesis and the importance of how something is read versus the details of when/where it was written. Great preparation for The Brewery Meetings on Genesis’ Noah and the Flood story.

Streetlights, an Urban Audio Bible. (Click Title for link)

What we listened too last night at our meeting comes from this group.

Free download of a mixtape based on Gungor’s most recent album.

Its worth the listen, meditative, and (like Gungor) a fresh view of worship.

TONIGHT AT THE BREWERY.

8-10PM STINGERS COFFEE
