Can women lead in the church? What does the Bible say about women in ministry?
In this episode of Let’s Talk About Why, I sit down with Angela Buckland, Discipleship Director at Bethlehem Church and host of the Beyond Sunday podcast, to talk about women in vocational ministry and church leadership, navigating calling, and overcoming barriers.
We discuss:
✅ Angela’s journey into ministry
✅ The importance of seeing women in leadership and the role of spiritual mothers
✅ Paul’s real stance on women in ministry (hint: he equipped them!)
✅ Balancing calling, family, and expectations in different seasons of life
Whether you’re a woman wrestling with your call to ministry or a leader looking to equip and empower others, this conversation is for you!
As you listen to this episode, and all episodes of Let's Talk About Why, my hope is that it will help you, discover deeper purpose, strengthen your faith, and further cultivate critical thinking skills.
Angela has been a disciple of Jesus for 29 years. Wife to Ren for 26 years. Mom of four teens/young adults. Discipleship Director at Bethlehem Church. Podcast host of Beyond Sunday at Bethlehem Church. Seminary student at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.
