This week on Real Bible Stories we tackle complex topics head-on as we dissect Paul's instructions on women's roles in the church. Together with my wife Selena and our teacher Pastor Ryan Brown, we'll navigate this controversial subject, drawing upon historical context and biblical examples to challenge your understanding.

An Overview
Ever wondered about the structure of the synagogue during Jesus’ time and its parallels to today's church? We'll compare roles such as zikinium, chazzan, and rasha keneseth to our modern-day associate pastor, deacon, and senior pastor roles. You'll gain insights into different worship service practices, from the ancient synagogue system to our current context. We also dig into the authority of women in the church, considering figures like Phoebe, a deacon in the Roman church. 

Paul's instruction to women to remain silent in church has been a contentious issue, especially in recent years. We'll delve into the historic context, exploring the Greek word Laleo, and engage in lively debates on its implications for today's church. The conversation takes some surprising turns, as we consider military structures and the difference between leadership and authority. By the end, you'll have fresh perspectives to ponder over, and you'll understand why God's Word deserves more than just a simple reading. So, tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that's sure to challenge your beliefs and enrich your faith.
