Some see this as biblical faithfulness. Others see it as sexism. So what does Scripture actually teach? In this episode, I share how my own views changed after studying the Bible for myself, explain why I believe the office of pastor is reserved for men, and discuss why that does not diminish the value, gifting, or influence of women in God's kingdom. Whether you're wrestling with this issue yourself or simply want to understand the biblical arguments more clearly, my prayer is that this conversation encourages you to approach Scripture with humility, charity, and a desire to honor Christ above culture.
