What if “helper” in Genesis 2:18 doesn’t mean “assistant,” but a powerful ally? In this episode, Steve & Colleen unpack the Hebrew phrase ezer kenegdo—“a strength corresponding to”—and why God’s design for men and women is strength-to-strength partnership, not hierarchy. You’ll hear a moving prayer of protection from Zechariah 2:5, a candid look at how the Fall distorted God’s design, and a hopeful vision of how Jesus restores mutuality (Gal 3:28). Plus: practical takeaways for marriages, ministry, friendships, and those who are single. Key Scriptures (ESV): Genesis 2:18; Psalm 33:20; Genesis 3:16; Galatians 3:28; Ecclesiastes 4:9–10; Zechariah 2:5 Link to Crafted Prayer | A Wall of Fire Around Us: https://embracingbrokenness.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/A-Wall-of-Fire-Around-Us-Crafted-Prayer-Zechariah-2-5.pdf
