Return to the Garden: Discovering God's Original Design for Women (Unabridged‪)‬

God formed women in his own image, giving them joint dominion over the earth. Only when sin and the curse entered did they fall into the disastrous path of inequality that has repeated itself in every generation since the garden. Through the telling of her own story, Rebecca Mann Kelly untangles the deceptions that have kept women in places of bondage and captivity, offering a powerful invitation for every woman to Return to the Garden through the power of Jesus.

The listener will discover:

God’s original Biblical design for women, to have joint dominion and authority over the earth
How to identify places the curse has manifested in personal life, in society, and in the church
Jesus’ purpose in coming to earth—to free the captives and to free women living in captivity to the curse
How to “open the sails” of the heart, give God hidden heart pain, and learn to feel again
How to identify patterns of people-pleasing, emotional abuse, and narcissism, and how to get free and remove the yoke
How to remove the hooks of the manipulation and control of others
An understanding of how the enemy uses strategies of pride and religion to keep men and women from operating in their original design
The role of the Holy Spirit in living a victorious life aligned to God’s plan
How to avoid the trap of the victim and the trap of self-justification, and the role of forgiveness in finding freedom
The overcoming power of the cross to “return to the garden”
