Podcasts about women in church

Dear friends,This episode of Two Ways News brings us to one of the most controversial passages of the Bible. Since the Sexual Revolution and feminist movement of the late 20th century, the roles of men and women have been fiercely debated in our society. Within the church, this topic has been contested with the main focus being on the various ministries of men and women.So when we come to 1 Corinthians 11 and read of women praying and prophesying, our debaters are alerted to possible data for discussion. But when it turns to the head covering of women, the issues brought up are very complicated. I doubt that our discussion here will be the last word or even a significant turning point in the debate. But I hope that, irrespective of the debate, we may make 1 Corinthians 11 a little clearer.By the way, I recently spoke on Prophecy Today at the Kings Birthday Conference. You can listen to the recordings of that conference at phillipjensen.com.Yours,PhillipFreely available, supported by generosity.If you enjoy Two Ways News, why not lend us a hand?

What happens when Scripture says something our culture doesn't like? In this episode, we begin with a powerful quote from Allie Beth Stuckey before diving into one of the Church's most controversial questions: Should women serve as pastors over men? Together, we examine the biblical texts, discuss God's good design for men and women, and explain why trusting God's wisdom often requires resisting cultural pressure. Whether you agree or disagree, our prayer is that this conversation points you back to the authority of God's Word above every other voice. Let's get into it! Connect With The Few!

Should all women be silent in Church as 1Corinthians 14:34-35 seems to teach? Does this mean they can't teach or preach, or even pray, testify or prophesy? The results of this study may surprise you! Join Derek Walker as he delves into this controversial passage. Discover a fresh perspective on the ministry of women in the Church through this engaging and informative presentation.

The numbers don't lie: denominations that ordained women first lost their members fastest, with the PC (U.S.A.) on track for a 95% decline by 2050. The SBC and PCA both voted this year to shut down women pastors and deacons — but will it be enough? Kevin is joined by Danny to ask what will actually survive this civilizational unraveling, and what it looks like to raise cornerstone daughters who are ready for it.

In this weeks episode Jono reflects on his experience of women in church leadership . It can be a controversial issue but rather than being divisive Jono speaks about his own personal and positive experience of the women He has worked alongside with in ministry over the past 30 years. Women have been ordained in the church of Ireland since 1990.

Can women be active ministers of the gospel? It's such a hot topic in our churches right now, so what's your take? With it being "pride month" right now, what guidance, insights, or passages of Scripture would you use to help those who may be confused about the issue?

I have also included the lecture notes from which today's presentation was derived. It has typos, missing words, and more because it is not intended as a formal document. However, rather than provide a transcription that would need editing, this lecture notes PDF can be used to read along with the audio. The post 1 Timothy 2:8-15 (Role of Women in Church Ministry) appeared first on The Inner Altar.

In this episode, Church historian Emily Utt shares about the sacred sites that witnessed the Restoration. From the Kirtland Temple to the stories of faithful women like Emma Smith and Eliza R. Snow, Emily shares how these places and people remind us that God works through ordinary individuals to accomplish extraordinary things.When we understand these stories more deeply, our faith in the Restoration, and in our own role in God's work, grows stronger.how preserving sacred Church history sites deepens our understanding of priesthood power, highlights the vital leadership of women in the Restoration, and offers a faith-filled perspective for navigating difficult questions about the past.

On this episode of Mutuality Matters, Dr. Mimi Haddad meets with Dr. Preston Sprinkle to discuss his new book, "From Genesis to Junia: An Honest Search for What the Bible Really Says about Women in Leadership." A deeply committed Christian, husband, and father, Preston Sprinkle said his career has focused on serving the church as a scholar. As such, he approaches questions concerning faith and life through a deep dive exegetical analysis of the related biblical passages and related historical contexts. For many years, as a complementarian, Preston read the key passages (1 Timothy 2:11–15, 1 Corinthians 14:34–36, and Ephesians 5:21–33) at face value—through a plain reading of the text which, seemingly, supports male leadership in church and the home. Yet, over time, he noticed how the Greek syntax in these passages was complex. Attending more carefully, he began to focus on single words in the text like “silent.” This practice was quite fruitful in helping him realize how women were not silent in Scripture contra 1 Corinthians 14:34–36. This seeming inconsistency evoked questions around what NT women were talking about. Clearly, they had a voice. In fact, leading Bible women were far from silent. God called and gifted women to speak as prophets, judges, warriors, and diplomats. Women were Christ's disciples, and women served beside Paul as deacons, apostles, church planters, and his coworkers. Romans 16 abounds with the voices of women, slaves, and non-Jews—aligning with the welcome of women as Gospel agents (Gal. 3:28). Stunningly, women's voices were heard in Corinth, as they prayed and prophesied in the church (1 Cor. 11:5), raising questions about the meaning of 1 Corinthians 14:34–36. Other passages in 1 Corinthians, such as 1 Corinthians 7:4-5, 1 Corinthians 11:7, and 1 Corinthians 11, challenged Preston as a complementarian because:   Wives and husbands have authority over each other's bodies: 1 Cor. 7:4–5   Women prayed and prophesied: 1 Cor. 11:5.   Women “… have authority over her own head, because of the angels:” 1 Cor. 11:10.   Woman and man are interdependent: 1 Cor. 11:11–12.   Preston cited as a helpful resource, Gregory Dawe's works on head metaphors in Ephesians, The Body in Question: Metaphor and Meaning in the Interpretation of Ephesians 5:21–33 (Biblical Interpretation Series, 30)   Turning to 1 Timothy 2:11–12, Preston points to the extreme use of authority (authentein) Paul evokes in this passage that mirrors the unilateral, domineering authority of slave owners over their slaves as it demeaned slaves ontologically as lesser humans for a lesser purpose. It was a devaluation Jesus challenged in Matthew 20:25–28: “Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”   Summing it up, Preston suggests that three complex, poorly translated texts cannot overturn the “wide ocean of women leaders in Scripture.” Which is why he cautions against silencing women based on a plain reading of the Bible. Add to this the many women scholars he admired even before becoming an egalitarian. Women like Drs. Linda Belleville Sandra Ritcher, Lynn Cohick, Cynthia Westfall, and others are deeply regarded and highly respected throughout the Christian world. We add Preston to the list of egalitarian scholars and leaders, thanking him for his very insightful work throughout this podcast and in his newest book, From Genesis to Junia: An Honest Search for What the Bible Really Says about Women in Leadership, available in CBE's bookstore. Enjoy!  00:56 Welcome and Guest Intro  02:59 Preston's Journey Shift  04:56 Deep Dive Research Process  06:31 Key Textual Turning Points  11:04 Women Scholars and Influences  13:24 Feedback and Early Critiques  19:51 Jesus Centered Vision for Women  21:46 Conference Invitation Chicago 2026  24:39 Hopes for the Book  25:33 When Egalitarianism Gets Real  26:45 Why Change Takes Time  30:37 Texts of Terror Overview  31:06 Women Silent in Church  33:29 Marriage and Household Codes  35:18 Authority in 1 Timothy  37:32 Hardest Passage 1 Corinthians 11  40:24 Mutuality in Paul  42:07 Conference Invite and Thanks  43:29 Closing Prayer and Support   

What does the Bible actually say about women in ministry — and what does it look like when a church builds a culture around it? Heather Schott sits down with four women who pastor, preach, lead campuses, and raise families inside Mercy Culture — Pastors Jasmine Weiler, Dehavilland Ford, Maggie Wakefield, and Nikki Cody — for an honest, unfiltered conversation about biblical empowerment of women in the church. They cover: Ordaining by calling — not gender or marital status Breaking free from "stay in your lane" limitations Being equipped to lead, not just placed as a trophy Raising kids in the calling — not around it How women lead men through spiritual authority, not competition Navigating ministry with an unsaved or unsupportive husband Real stories of breakthrough, prophetic dreams, miracles, and healing Closing prayers to break the spirit of religion — and for the Deborahs, Esthers, and Marys to rise This isn't a debate. It's a living display of what healthy, biblical empowerment of women looks like in practice.

This episode of Native Exiles offers a deep dive into several of the key biblical passages that shape the conversation around women in church leadership. Rather than focusing primarily on modern debates, the discussion returns to the text itself, examining passages such as 1 Timothy 2 and 1 Corinthians 14. You can view the Alderwood position paper at alderwood.cc/essentials. Attention is given to the historical context, language, and theological arguments surrounding these passages, asking what they may have meant within the life of the early church. From that foundation, the episode considers the implications for modern congregations: how these texts have been interpreted across Christian traditions and what they might mean for the structure and leadership of churches today. The goal is a careful, Scripture-centered exploration of leadership, authority, and the role of women in the church.Native Exiles is a podcast from Alderwood Community Church, where we talk about following Jesus in the tension of being in the world but not of it.

This week Pastor Brad discusses the roles of men and women in ministry. He places the passage within its historical, cultural and scriptural contexts to create a better understanding of God's design for men and women in ministry.

Your Lust, Your Problem: Stop Projecting on Women in Church | The Basement w- Tim Ross

Episode Topic: Is There a Feminine Genius? Thirty years ago, in both Evangelium Vitae and his Letter to Women, Pope John Paul II issued a clear call for the genius of women to be “more fully expressed in the life of society as a whole, as well as in the life of the Church” (Letter to Women 10). Throughout his papacy, in fact, he emphasized women's “prophetic character,” calling on them to be “witnesses” and “sentinels” — guardians of the sacred gift of life and the order of love (Mulieris Dignitatem 29; Homily at Lourdes 2004). “Is There a Feminine Genius?” a panel discussion with Deborah Savage, Sr. Theresa Aletheia, Abigail Favale, Sr. Ann Astell, and moderator Melissa Moschella, took place at the McGrath Institute for Church Life conference True Genius: The Mission of Women in Church and Culture at the University of Notre Dame in March 2025, developed by Abigail Favale, Ph.D., Professor of the Practice, Theology & Literature, at the McGrath Institute for Church Life.Featured Speakers:Melissa Moschella, University of Notre DameSr. Theresa Aletheia Noble, Sisters of the Little Way of Beauty, Truth, and GoodnessSister Ann W.

This has been a hot topic throughout the history of the church. Why? Because what it really means is “What do we believe about women in leadership in the church?”

What about people in remote locations who have never heard the gospel? And what about all those Gentiles in the Old Testament? How can believers who have died already have a resurrection body in Heaven? Or are they bodiless in Heaven or sleeping for thousands of years? What are your thoughts on James? Does he teach the Old Testament law as the means to salvation? What is the gift of tongues? Are there two kinds of tongues? What about women leading in church? Aren't they told to always be quiet?

Women in Church - Pastor Chad Hertler 1 Timothy 2:9-15

Natalie Runion returns to Shifting Culture with her new book I Don't Even Like Women: And Other Lies That Get in the Way of Sacred Sisterhood. Behind the provocative title is a deeper story: how the church has too often handed women scripts of competition, gossip, and scarcity and how those scripts can be rewritten into something truer and freer. In this conversation, we talk about identity, trust, and the work of forgiveness. We explore what women's ministry has been, and what it could become when collaboration replaces competition, when community is rooted in abundance, and when Jesus' vision of sacred sisterhood begins to take hold. This isn't just about women's ministry. It's about how all of us, men and women, learn to build communities that dignify rather than diminish.Natalie Runion is the USA Today bestselling author of Raised to Stay and The House That Jesus Built, as well as the creator of the Raised to Stay Community (@raisedtostay). She lives in Kentucky with her husband, Tony, and their two daughters, where they work together to provide training to leaders in pursuit of a healthy church.Natalie's Book:I Don't Even Like WomenNatalie's Recommendations:Becoming the Pastor's WifeCrushing ChaosSubscribe to Our Substack: Shifting CultureConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@allnations.usGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

This is the third and final message on Women In Church, the fourth and final message on Men And Women In Church (2:8-15) and the sixth and final message on chapter 2, which is the first section of the main part of this letter devoted to how to conduct ourselves as the Church of the living God:1 Timothy 3:14-15: I am writing these things to you, hoping to come to you before long; 15 but in case I am delayed, I write so that you will know how one ought to conduct himself in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and support of the truth.As I've emphasized the last two sermons, this is not a stand-alone message, in that it is inextricably connected to the entire chapter. Let's sneak up on our verse for today.1 - Command: A Woman Must Learn (11)2 - Prohibition: A Woman Is Not Allowed (12)3 - Because Of The Order Of Creation (13)4 - Because Of The Order Of The Fall (14)5 - Because Of The Design Of God (15)

We're following a rigorously specific outline for this passage in order to make sure we don't skip anything, and we see every detail of it.1 - Command: A Woman Must Learn (11, Review)2 - Prohibition: A Woman Is Not Allowed (12)3 - Because Of The Order Of Creation (13)4 - Because Of The Order Of The Fall (14)

For this passage we will use the Legacy Standard Bible, and as we work through I'll show you where and why I prefer that translation for this passage.1 Timothy 2:11-15 (LSB): A woman must learn in quietness, in all submission. 12 But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. 13 For it was Adam who was first formed, and then Eve. 14 And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into trespass. 15 But she will be saved through the bearing of children, if they continue in faith and love and sanctification with self-restraint.0 - Introduction: Why This Is Important1 - Command: A Woman Must Learn (11, Today)2 - Prohibition: A Woman Is Not Allowed (12)3 - Because Of The Order Of Creation (13)4 - Because Of The Order Of The Fall (14)5 - Because Of The Design Of God (15)

The second half of 1 Timothy 2 is a passage that is, in our time, considered controversial. Some unbelievers mock it, and believe it exposes the Bible as irrelevant and archaic. Worse yet, some professing believers twist its meaning, and will tell you that it doesn't mean what it says, or that it means the opposite of what it says. Before we dive in, I ask you to come to this passage in the same manner you should come to every passage of the Bible. Pay careful attention to the most important things.+ Who wrote this?+ Who was it written to?+ What is the context within this book?+ What do the words say?+ How would the author have understood it?+ How would the original readers have understood it?I chose to outline this passage rigorously according to its grammatical structure. In light of aberrant teachings Timothy was facing in Ephesus, the Apostle Paul reiterated God's will for the roles of men and women in the spiritual life of His people.1 - Therefore I Want Men . . . (8)2 - Likewise I Want Women . . . (9-10)

Throughout his papacy, in fact, JPII emphasized women's “prophetic character,” calling on them to be “witnesses” and “sentinels” — guardians of the sacred gift of life and the order of love (Mulieris Dignitatem 29; Homily at Lourdes2004).This vision for women, clarified and proclaimed in the late twentieth century especially, has yet to be fully realized. Catholics in contemporary America face distorted narratives about women from both poles of our divided culture. By revisiting and extending John Paul II's thought we come upon the opportunity to offer a positive countervision to, on the one hand, the growing anti-feminism in some Catholic circles and, on the other hand, the widely-held perception that the Church is anti-woman.The McGrath Institute for Church Life is hosting a conference that aims to help develop that positive countervision.“True Genius: The Mission of Women in Church and Culture” will take place March 26 to March 28, 2025, on the campus of the University of Notre Dame. It boasts a stellar roster of speakers, including Helen Alvare, Sr. Ann Astell, Erika Bachiochi, Angela Franks, Sarah Denny Lorio, Sr. Theresa Alethia Noble, Leah Libresco Sargeant, and my guest today, Abigail Favale.

Dr. Jonny addresses scripture from the New Testament that seems to limit or restrict women in the operation and teaching of the New Testament Church. These passages were never intended to subordinate women for all eternity, but rather to bring order in a time of unprecedented freedom and liberation! 

Jesus not only came to save us, but to restore the heart of the Father. Women were created as the equal and comparable strength to men and Jesus came to liberate women into their created destiny. Dr. Jonny describes empowered women in the Old Testament and in the New Testament Church. The Spirit was poured out on all flesh, male and female, and it is time for the Church to operate in full capacity!
