Episode 19 - Can Women Be Leaders in the Church (Part 3 - Featuring Dan Lewis)

from Have a Backbone · host Nate Petersen, Daniel Cloud

In this final part of the series on women in church leadership, Daniel and Nate once again enlist the help of scholar, pastor, teacher, Dan Lewis to unlock both the Greek language and cultural context of passages like 1 Timothy 2 and 1 Corinthians 14. What they discover is that in doing so, it appears likely that these passages are not, in fact, forbidding women to be pastors. And once again, the question is asked: If the Bible does not explicitly forbid women from being pastors, does the rest of Scripture support the idea that all gifts of the Spirit can be granted equally, regardless of gender?
