What is the role of women in the church?  Does the Bible prescribe women pastors?  Does the Scripture about this topic apply to today, or was it just applicable for the early church?

On this episode, we address the question, "Should women serve as pastors?"   This question is a dividing factor for many churches and denominations.  We've heard all sorts of arguments for why women can or can't serve as pastors, so we break down the Scriptures to see how God orchestrated the church to run and dig into the relationship between family and church functions. Our hope is that as you listen, you grow in a knowledge of God and his Word as well as helping you to see this topic from a biblical framework.
