Southern Baptists, Women in Ministry, & a Billboard

In this episode, Word&Way President Brian Kaylor talks with Meredith Stone, executive director of Baptist Women in Ministry. The conversation includes discussion of efforts in the Southern Baptist Convention to further target women serving in churches and how BWIM is advocating for women (including with a billboard to greet SBC messengers next week in Orlando, Florida). You can watch a video version of this conversation on YouTube. Here are a few pieces related to the episode: - Brian wrote for Word&Way about joining BWIM's advocacy outside an SBC meeting in 2024. - Learn more about Paul Pressler, the allegations against him, and what it means for the SBC. - Learn more about Al Mohler's current push against women in ministry (and even on podcasts).
