Episode Fourteen: The One Where Pastor Brad Patterson Walks Us Through the Vote, the Word, and the Weirdness

Episode 14 is in the books, and this one gets into the weeds in the best way.We had the privilege of sitting down with our pastor, Brad Patterson over at FBC Lavon to talk through the SBC: what it is, what it does, why it matters, and why the recent conversation around women in church leadership has stirred up so much debate.We discuss the proposed amendment vote, how Brad voted, why he voted that way, and then we do what should always come first: we open Scripture.This episode walks through women in leadership, the role of pastors and elders, feminism, cultural pressure, slippery slopes in church leadership, and the deep importance of women in the life and mission of the church.This isn’t a conversation about winning arguments. It’s about asking whether the church will be shaped by culture, tradition, preference, or the Word of God.Hard topic. Honest conversation. Open Bible.
