Tru316 FOUNDATION
Season 6
Season 6 BONUS Episode of The Eden Podcast transcript
Welcome to The Eden Podcast where we think again about the Bible on women and men and we start with a correct understanding of what happened in the Garden of Eden back in the beginning. I’m Bruce C. E. Fleming, founder of the Tru316 Project and a former Academic Dean and Professor of Practical Theology. The foundation of the Tru316 Project is based on the research of Dr. Joy Fleming who wrote the book Man and Woman in Biblical Unity – Theology from Genesis 2-3.
The focus of this BONUS episode is Our Christmas Challenge.
Joy and I would like to invite you to help meet the challenge of starting the Tru316 Foundation. The Tru316 Foundation? Yes!
We have been working on the groundwork for the Tru316 Foundation for some time. We now need to raise the first funds and have started a GoFundMe Christmas Challenge. This Christmas Challenge will last only a brief period. Donations from any and all listeners of The Eden Podcast who can will go toward incorporating the Tru316 Foundation as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
But we need your gifts to do this. Up to now this has been a labor of love on our part with no ways for others to get involved. Now we need your help.
The Tru316 Foundation is dedicated to undo the damage done by the mistranslation of Genesis 3:16. It will help ATD Women and it will play its part in combating what I’m calling Big Patriarchy.
ATD? These letters stand for Abused, Trafficked and Deflected women.
- A – women who are abused: sexually abused, emotionally abused, financially abused and spiritually abused.
- T – women who are trafficked: as less than free individuals created in God’s image.
- D – women who are deflected: deflected from following their calling and deflected using their gifts.
We are receiving reports, very heartwarming ones, from ATD women around the world who are being helped by the Tru316 message. They are being helped as we spread the message that God did not curse Eve (or Adam) or limit woman in any way in the Garden of Eden.
What about my new term, Big Patriarchy? These are the voices and organizations that promote pagan patriarchy in our schools and institutions, in our homes and in our churches.
So we have a three-part advance in mind. (1) Further spread the message of the Tru316. (2) Continue to help ATD Women. And (3) combat the influence of Big Patriarchy. We have a big job to do. There is a lot of incorrect teaching that needs to be overcome.
We believe that receiving donations to this work through the Tru316 Foundation will move forward the work. Already, close to 50,000 downloads have been made of episodes of The Eden Podcast during its first year. Already, readers of The Book of Eden have been reporting the relief they felt and the encouragement they have received to learn what God said in the Garden of Eden.
So, we are inviting you to invest in the future ministry of the Tru316 Foundation. Do you want to get involved? Please visit our website at Tru316 Foundation.com.
Here’s how the Tru316 Foundation specifically will work for you.
- The Tru316 Foundation will support the operation of the rapidly growing Tru316 Project. Donations from individuals and private family foundations are needed here.
- The Tru316 Foundation also will allow donors to make donor advised gifts to organizations that are like-minded ministries to the Tru316 Project.
Donor advised funds are a powerful way to make change. Donors make major gifts during a given calendar year and receive the tax benefit. Later, they will advise the Tru316 Foundation which organizations they wish to receive those funds.
Such donations are happening elsewhere all the time. I recently
