Biblical Women's Ministry

from What The Bible Says To Know & Do · host Pastor Josh Wootton

In this episode, we take a deeper look at what biblical women’s ministry should look like in the local church. Expanding on 1 Timothy 5:1–16 and the sermon “On the Elderly and Widows,” we address common cultural missteps and recover a clear, Scripture-driven model. This conversation challenges both men and women to think rightly about discipleship, church structure, and the vital role women play in the health of the body of Christ.Women’s ministry is not optional—it is essential. Yet too often it drifts into something shallow, event-driven, or disconnected from the life of the church. Scripture gives us something far richer. When women’s ministry is done well, the entire church flourishes.I. Biblical women’s ministry must be. . . 1. Complementary, not parallel, to the church (Romans 16:1 - see vv. 2, 6, 12) 2.
