In this episode of The Public Square on the Pursuing Faith Network, Iggy and Pastor Mike dive into a big question a lot of believers wrestle with today: Why are there so many Christian denominations? They talk about where these divisions came from, whether they still serve a purpose, and if they’re actually helping Christians grow—or pulling us further apart.

They break down some of the history behind different denominations while also looking at the practical side of things: how they shape our faith, how they influence the way we read Scripture, and whether they bring clarity or confusion to the body of Christ. It’s an honest, thought-provoking conversation about unity, truth, and what really matters when it comes to following Jesus.

If you’ve ever wondered why the church looks the way it does or whether denominations are still healthy for believers today, this episode will give you a lot to think about.

In this week’s episode of The Public Square on the Pursuing Faith Network, Iggy and Pastor Mike sit down for one of the most requested and most sensitive conversations in the modern church: Should women be pastors? It’s a topic that has sparked debates across denominations, shaped entire church cultures, and left many believers unsure about what Scripture actually teaches.

Iggy approaches the subject with deep respect, acknowledging that as two men they’re navigating a conversation that directly affects women all over the body of Christ. But instead of leaning on opinion or tradition, they go straight to the Word, unpacking passages that have created tension for generations while also highlighting the many powerful and essential women God used throughout the Bible. What begins as a tough question turns into a meaningful exploration of God’s design, the heart behind leadership, and the unique role women have always played in the story of redemption.

This is a thoughtful and honest dialogue where both hosts wrestle with Scripture, challenge assumptions, and try to understand what faithfulness looks like in the church today. Whether you agree or disagree, this conversation invites you to pause, reflect, and seek God’s heart above everything else.
