Can women serve as pastors according to the Bible? Is restricting women from pastoral leadership based on scripture or cultural bias? In this episode of Rooted & Reason, we dive deep into what the Bible teaches about gender roles in church leadership, examining passages like 1 Timothy 2 and 1 Corinthians 11.
We approach this serious and often controversial topic with honesty, biblical reasoning, and respect, aiming to uncover God’s design for church authority while addressing common objections. Whether you agree or disagree, we invite you to wrestle with the scriptures and engage in this important discussion.
