Sarah Bessey spoke about two very important issues in this cultural moment. In her first session, she discussed her book, Jesus Feminist, and the need for us to call for justice for women, both in the church and in our society. In her second session, she helped us learn how to pastor well the people who are deconstructing their faith and wrestling through doubts.
