## Resource

Matt Mouzakis returns to the podcast to wrestle with one of the most debated questions in the church: What does Scripture really say about women in ministry? From Genesis to Paul’s letters, we unpack how mistranslations, cultural assumptions, and bad theology have sidelined half the Body of Christ for centuries. Was Eve really just Adam’s “rib”? Did Paul command women to stay silent in church forever…or was he correcting a local crisis in Ephesus? And what does “headship” actually mean when Paul calls Christ the head of the church? Many of us were taught to see “male headship” as God’s design. But what if that’s really just the fallout of the Fall? And what if Jesus’ Kingdom has already undone that curse? Spoiler: the resurrection was first preached by women, and that wasn’t an accident. 📖For Full Show Notes: https://www.thebadroman.com/show-notes/episode-144 💕 3 WAYS TO SUPPORT THE PROJECT: TASTE IT BAD ROMAN SALSA, ADD TO THE BAG thebadroman.com/donate, and share with a friend (it's free!)🌶️ 🤝Connect with Matt Mouzakis: Email: matt@expedition44.com Book: Principalities, Powers and Allegiances Previous Episodes with Matt: "What about Romans 13?"
