Dr. Ken Hutcherson: A Defender of Truth - I

January 9, 2014
We celebrate the late Dr. Ken "Hutch" Hutcherson-- a former NFL player and the pastor and founder of Antioch Bible Church in Redmond, WA. Dr. Dobson interviewed Hutch before his death, and refers to him as “a walking miracle”--a man who has “committed his life to the cause of Christ” and is “willing to defend the truth against all odds.” Dr. Hutcherson grew up without a father. Yet he went on to become an NFL football player, a pastor, and an avid defender of Biblical truth. You will not want to miss the remarkable story of Dr. Ken Hutcherson.

What Is a Woman, According to God?
What is a woman? You might think that this is a simple question. In recent years, however, it has become as hard to answer for many people as an algebra problem, the kind some of us once sweated out in high school. Few topics have created more confusion and a firestorm of vitriol than the discussion of gender ideology. At the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute (JDFI), we understand parents are desperate for answers, and we want to help. A regular JDFI contributor, Dr. Owen Strachan, who is provost and research professor of theology at Grace Bible Theological Seminary, addresses the question of "What Is a Woman, According to God?" in his new essay. We wanted to make it easy to read and available to share with your family and friends, so we've designed it as a downloadable PDF.
