Ephesians Week 1 with Jennie Allen

For the first week of our Ephesians series, Raechel and Amanda talk with bestselling author and IF: Gathering visionary, Jennie Allen. While discussing adjectives, altar calls, and the apostle Paul’s affinity for run-on sentences, the women navigate nuanced theology and how to embrace the tension we find in Scripture. Together, they glory in the unity and steadfast hope that is ours in Christ when we seek the true prize of knowing Jesus.
