In this episode of Speaking of Faith, Bishop DeDe and Adam dive into the story of women’s ministry in the church—past, present, and future. From personal stories to hard truths about church history, they reflect on how far we’ve come since the first women celebrated the Eucharist 50 years ago—and how far we still have to go. With honesty and hope, they talk about God’s call on every life, the ongoing struggle for justice and inclusion, and why open conversations about faith matter more than ever.


Highlights:

  • 50 years since women first presided at the altar—what that means today
  • Real stories that shaped their views on women’s ordination
  • How justice, inclusion, and calling go hand in hand
  • The importance of listening to Scripture and each other with open hearts
  • Why your story matters—and how sharing it can change lives
