One of the things that gets on people’s nerves about Christianity is how centered it is on men being the leaders of the church or the household. If you aren’t familiar, the Bible talks about how women aren’t supposed to lead in the church context, and even goes as far as saying that women shouldn’t even speak in the presence of the man. So what gives?! Are we supposed to ignore this part of the Bible, or are we supposed to just suppress women, or is there really a third, true option that God wants us to take?

We did have a podcast about this, with a full women’s cast, but that conversation was more oriented about the woman’s role in the home. Today, our listener asks “Why Can’t Women Preach?”. I think both conversations are insightful, so if you want to get more perspective on the role of the woman, and how God’s role for them doesn’t mean inferiority or suppression, I suggest listening to this conversation and our other conversation.
