The Eden Podcast with Bruce C. E. Fleming

She was told she couldn’t explain the Bible and the way of salvation because “she was a woman.” In many other ways she faced hurtful restrictions based on her gender. She studied the Bible and listened to The Eden Podcast from the Tru316 Foundation. Divine Dissident prepared this special greeting for the 3/16 Day 2024 Celebration!  The Tru316 Foundation (www.

The Terran Williams Story - Part 3.  The Tru316 Foundation (www. Tru316.com) is the home of The Eden Podcast with Bruce C. E. Fleming where we “true” the verse of Genesis 3:16. The Tru316 Message is that “God didn’t curse Eve (or Adam) or limit woman in any way.” Once Genesis 3:16 is made clear the other passages on women and men become clear too.

Pastor Terran got the other staff members together. "Guys I think we've got it wrong!" I thought they all would accept  right away what I had found. But they didn't. And they went to strident people on the other side and read what they had written and I was asking for a sociological miracle. Have you seen him talking with Sheila Gregoire on The Bare Marriage Podcast? Have you watched him correctin...

Have you seen him talking with Sheila Gregoire on The Bare Marriage Podcast? Have you watched him correcting a YouTuber's incorrect teaching on women in ministry? Here is Part 1 in our multi-part interview of joyful South African Pastor Terran Williams, author of How God Sees Women, The End of Patriarchy. Terran was an avid surfer who came from a divorced family, and a gay father who was one of th...

The word patterns in 1 Timothy have been overlooked. The results have been disastrous. Let's look at Paul's Three Sins, the Three Sections to the whole book of 1 Timothy and at the Jump Jump High Jump Patter in 1 Timothy 1:18-3:16!  The Tru316 Foundation (www.

Let's look at the hermeneutical keys that unlock the meaning of the clobber verses in 1 Timothy 2. What they've been telling you - that women are prohibited from teaching men in church - is FAR from the truth! Author and scholar, Bruce C. E. Fleming walks us through the Introduction and Chapter One of his breakthrough book Back to Eden, 1 Timothy 2-3. NOTE the subtitle: Corrected and Restored by J...

Does the Bible prohibit women from teaching men in church? Bothered by 1 Timothy 2:12? Don't be. It turns out that verse 12 is only the second half of a long sentence that starts with verse 11. And these verses are part of a major command Paul gave to Timothy on how to retrain the subgroup of overseers in Ephesus who had gone astray.  All this and more is covered in the Back to Eden Workshop on 1...

Sadly, a trauma victim can be re-traumatized by an ill-informed people helper. Twisted beliefs based on twisted understandings of mistranslated key passages on women and men cause great harm. But with study they can be de-weaponized and bring great healing! On this episode of The Eden Podcast, author and licensed counselor Cecile Croissant presents how to be truly safe and helpful to victims.  The...

Head of the house? Master of slaves? Not according to Ephesians 5:33-6:9! When we go back to Eden with the Apostle Paul we see that he teaches Spirit-filled family members to build up one another while reciprocally submitting to one another! Author Bruce C. E. Fleming reads the final chapter in his book, Beyond Eden, Ephesians 5:15-6:9.   The Tru316 Foundation (www. Tru316.com) is the home of...

Back then, my wife Dr. Joy Fleming, and her mother, Grace Elasky, prayed that God would raise up a high school for Christy to attend when she reached 9th grade. Joy then recruited me to see if we could put one together. God wonderfully raised up a founding core group and we worked together to design and launch, just in time, Southwest Christian High School (swchs.org). From our opening class of 30...

Nobody else had volunteered to run for Student Body President at the seminary. They were all busy with their master's level studies. I was too but when I learned the four student officers would have a private lunch every Friday with the Dean, Dr. Kantzer, I signed up. What a mentor he was to us!  Because of that, it turned out I was chosen to represent the school the next summer at the Lausanne Co...

In my early years as a speaker in Youth Ministry I developed the bad habit of picking my ILLUSTRATIONS FIRST and burying the message of the passages that were assigned to me to speak on! It took me a year and a half in seminary to learn how to let the passage speak for itself! At the Tru316 Foundation we take great care to let God speak to us through word studies and through analysis of the litera...

It is stunning how slave holders before the American Civil War tried to justify their actions with arguments similar to those used by those who restrict women in the church and the home! Christy is stunned as she and Bruce talk with Rev. Dr. Mike David on this Tru Friend Friday episode of The Eden Podcast! Here are some of books Mike referred to on this episode. The Civil War as a Theological Cris...

The relationship of believers is meant to be modeled after Christ's two actions referred to in Ephesians 5:25b. He loves and gives of himself. Paul uses these words in the SAME linchpin pattern used in Genesis 2 and 3 in Ephesians 5:25. He had the Garden of Eden very much in mind for he later quotes from Genesis 2:24. What these lookbacks to Eden mean in this passage helps us understand the parts...

No, Ephesians 5-6 is NOT primarily about marriage. No, it does NOT teach wifely submission or that a man is the head of the house. This passage DOES teach how Spirit-filled believers are to walk out their life in Christ. Believers are to teach and admonish other believers from the Word of God. In turn they all are to submit to the teaching and correction they receive from one another. This passage...

Joanne has "a wonderful story on how God uses the Internet!" And hers is a wonderful story how she volunteered to help spread the Tru316 Message. She set up the @Tru316 YouTube Channel.  She volunteered to write the "BSF style" Study Guides for the chapters in The Eden Book Series. She co-hosted Seasons 6-9 of The Eden Podcast She wrote the Study Guides for Dr. Joy Fleming's foundational book Man...

Joanne Hagemeyer recalls how doors were closed to women for ministry in many ways. "I didn’t have a place in the church but I had a place in this Bible study." (It was Bible study Fellowship where eventually she was a Teaching Leader for many years). She has continued to use her gifts where there was an open door.  Joanne Hagemeyer went on to build up the Tru316 ministry by launching the @Tru316 Y...
