Paul's letter comes to a close in Ephesians 6:10–20 as we discover what it truly means to “put on the full armour of God.” Paul's calls believers to stand firm in spiritual strength, not human effort — to live as a Spirit-empowered community reflecting Christ's character in a world filled with unseen influences from the powers of evil. Each piece of the armour — truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and the Word — represents the character of Christ that we're invited to “put on.”This is not a solo fight — it's a call to unity in the Body of Christ, empowered by prayer and sustained by love. Paul connects this spiritual armour to the prophecies of Isaiah and the mission of Jesus, showing that the armour of God is ultimately Christ Himself whose character does not bow to the powers but rather overcomes them.To support the ministry of Melbourne Inclusive Church go to: www.michurch.org.au/give Melbourne Inclusive Church boldly and proudly proclaims Christ's equal love for all people regardless of their ability, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, age, gender, race, ethnicity, or culture.Melbourne Inclusive Church is part of the EMI Global family of churches.

In this powerful episode, Heather Sudbrock dives into the ancient enmity declared in Genesis — between the woman and the serpent — and uncovers how that same battle still rages over the voices of women today. Through biblical revelation and prophetic insight, Heather reveals how women have always been central to God's redemptive story — from Eve to Mary to the daughters who prophesy in the last days. Yet, the serpent's strategy has always been the same: silence the woman, distort her identity, and steal her authority. This episode exposes the spiritual warfare aimed at the feminine voice, explores the mystery of the two seed lines, and calls women to rise in their original design — carriers of life, discernment, and divine authority.   Key Themes: The ancient war between the woman and the serpent The voice of women as a prophetic weapon The nature of the two seeds in Scripture Why the enemy fears women who speak truth

What unique challenges do women face in ministry leadership—and what gives them hope for the future of the church? In this special roundtable episode of the Future Christian Podcast, host Loren Richmond Jr. welcomes a panel of seasoned clergy leaders: Rev. Tabatha Johnson (Disciples of Christ), The Venerable Sheila Van Zandwyck (Anglican), Rev. Canon Katherine Morgan (Anglican), and Rev. Canon Martha Tatarnic (Anglican and Future Christian co-host). Together, they share candid stories about their call to ministry, navigating representation and authority, the sacrifices women often make that men may not, and how mentors and allies have helped along the way. From maternity leave struggles to stereotypes about “what a minister should look like,” these leaders open up about both progress and persistent challenges for women in the church today. Listeners will gain insights into: How women discern and embrace a call to ordained ministry. The “stained glass ceiling” and ongoing equity issues in church leadership. The importance of mentors, representation, and visible role models. How congregations respond differently to women clergy across traditions. What gives hope for the next generation of women entering ministry. Whether you're a pastor, church leader, or layperson passionate about equality in the church, this episode offers wisdom, encouragement, and a vision for a more inclusive future.   Rev. Tabatha D. Johnson is a pastor in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).  She has served as a pastor and chaplain for over twenty years. She graduated from the University of Missouri-Kansas City and Central Baptist Theological Seminary and is co-editor and contributor to Still A Mother: Journeys Through Perinatal Bereavement (Judson Press.) a 2017 Gold Medal Winner in the Illumination Book Awards. She is currently the Senior Pastor at Shawnee Community Christian Church where she joyfully serves alongside people who love Jesus and one another. Tabatha's greatest love, besides her family and her church, are coffee and starting home improvement projects in her home that someday, hopefully, she will finish. Tabatha lives with her spouse, Cory, and their children in the Kansas City Metro. The Venerable Sheila Van Zandwyk is Archdeacon of Lincoln Deanery and Rector of Church of the Transfiguration. She was born and raised in St. Catharines and was raised in the Christian Reformed Church. She began attending an Anglican Church in my twenties. Until starting seminary at 40, Van Zandwyk worked in retail, for a number of years as the Manager of a Shoppers Drug Mart. Ordained for 17 years, Van Zandwyk has worked in churches in Oakville, Hamilton and now St. Catharines, being at Transfiguration for 6 years now.  The Reverend Canon Katherine Morgan graduated with a Master of Divinity from Trinity College, University of Toronto. Morgan is ordained in the Diocese of Niagara where she had the privilege of serving in rural, small town and city parishes for 29 years.  Currently Morgan is the rector of Church of the Resurrection in Hamilton. In her free time, she loves to sing, enjoy puzzles, and is the proud parent of an adult son.    Mentioned Resources:

The sermon delivers a sobering critique of the Church of England's progressive theological shifts, arguing that its acceptance of women bishops, non-celibate gay clergy, same-sex blessings, and transgender affirmations represents a fundamental departure from biblical authority. Grounded in passages such as 1 Timothy 2:11–12, 1 Timothy 3:2, and Genesis 1–2, it affirms that Scripture establishes male leadership in the church as part of God's created order, not cultural preference. The preacher warns that these changes reflect a broader trend of prioritizing cultural relevance over divine truth, echoing Paul's warning in 2 Timothy 4:3 about the rise of teachers who cater to itching ears. While affirming the vital role of women in ministry, the message insists that pastoral authority is biblically reserved for men, and calls for a return to Scripture as the unchanging foundation of faith. The tone is both pastoral and urgent, lamenting the church's spiritual decline and urging repentance, fidelity to the Word, and faithful witness in a culture that increasingly rejects biblical truth. json

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.

Cicely Corry serves as the Editorial Director at Barna Group, where she oversees the creation of research-driven resources that help church leaders understand cultural and spiritual trends. Cicely brings years of experience in publishing and communications, equipping leaders to engage the next generation with clarity and compassion. Find out more about her work at www.cicelycorry.com.

Ask Dr. E
Can Women Be Pastors?

Ask Dr. E

Play Episode Listen Later Sep 4, 2025 14:45


Q: I am sure you have asked and answered this before and here I am asking again. This may be several questions because I can't parse it to something simple due to its complexity and the rigidness that's felt within the church in regards to this (on either side). Can women be pastors? Can women be given the title of pastor? I did search and the title pastor is defined as a person leading a congregation or church so my thinking is no. However, what if the title is that of pastor of children's ministries etc? However that brought another question to mind - which is why give a woman the title of pastor and not as director? There are two groups of people - some say yes and use scripture and some say no and use Scripture.  Paul in Corinth with Pricilla, Phoebe and a few others are all part of the thinking that women can be in authority and leadership. The argument from the yes side is that scripture is being taken out of context and that 1 Timothy 1 is a prime example of how women can be in authority (there is also question of who actually wrote Timothy 1) Acts 18 is also used as a stance that women can teach/be in authority over men. Maybe part of the issue here is the definitions of what Pricilla was doing in Acts 18 vs what a pastor really does. But Phoebe was considered a deacon so that would assume she had some leadership capabilities.  The flip side to the stance that women can't be is how are we to mother/teach our sons? Are women allowed to be teachers? You can see the slippery slope down I am sure. So, could you please do a deep dive into this? I am struggling as I am running into this more and more within churches. One church we were attending came out and said women could be deacons and then another called a woman a pastor but they also had director roles - which made it more confusing as a person attending an event. Summary In this episode, Dr. E draws from both Old and New Testament passages to help listeners navigate the often-confused conversation about women in ministry by distinguishing between the office of elder and the gift of pastor-teacher. He explains that the New Testament uses terms like presbuteros (elder) and episkopos (overseer) interchangeably to describe a church office reserved for men, while the role of pastor-teacher is given as a spiritual gift, not an office. Women are clearly permitted to pray and prophesy in the church (1 Corinthians 11), yet Paul prohibits them from teaching or exercising authority over men (1 Timothy 2). Dr. E also explores how churches use titles like “director,” “minister,” or “pastor,” and why clarity in terminology is essential. He highlights examples like Phoebe in Romans 16 and Timothy's upbringing under his mother and grandmother to show the important role women play in ministry, even if not as elders. Men and women share equal value before God, yet Scripture outlines distinct roles within the church for the sake of order and faithfulness. Takeaways: Scripture affirms equal value of men and women while assigning distinct church roles. Elders/overseers are reserved for qualified men according to the New Testament. The gift of pastor-teacher is not the same as the office of elder. Women are permitted to pray and prophesy but not to teach with authority over men. Phoebe and other women in Romans 16 show the vital role of female ministry. Clarity in church titles like “pastor” or “director” avoids unnecessary confusion.

The initial 100 days of Pope Leo XIV's papacy have ushered in a notable atmosphere of cautious optimism within the Catholic Church, particularly regarding the implications for Church unity and women's ministries. In this discourse, I engage with Russ Petrus and Olivia Haste, both esteemed members of Catholic Women Preach and Future Church, to scrutinize the reception of Pope Leo XIV and the potential trajectories of his leadership. The conversation unfolds around the Pope's approach to inclusivity and dialogue, highlighting his commitment to addressing pressing global issues while fostering a sense of ecclesiastical communion. We further delve into the implications of his papacy for women in ministry, particularly in the context of initiatives like Catholic Women Preach. This episode aims to illuminate the multifaceted dimensions of Pope Leo XIV's early tenure and its reverberations throughout the Church.The discussion surrounding Pope Leo XIV's initial days as the pontiff provides a compelling insight into the evolving landscape of the Catholic Church, particularly regarding gender equity and ecumenism. The conversation between Joshua Noel, Russ Petrus, and Olivia Haste delves into the expectations and realities that have emerged in the wake of Leo's appointment. Olivia articulates a cautious optimism, noting how Leo's statements and actions appear to bridge gaps that have historically alienated certain communities from the Church. Her reflections highlight the importance of inclusivity, especially concerning women in ministry, and the necessity for the Church to adapt in a rapidly changing world. Russ echoes this sentiment, emphasizing the significance of Leo's diplomatic approach to leadership. The discussions surrounding the synodal process exemplify the Church's commitment to listening to diverse voices and integrating their perspectives into the broader ecclesial conversation. As the conversation unfolds, it becomes clear that Pope Leo XIV's papacy presents both challenges and opportunities for deepening church unity and enhancing the role of women within the Catholic tradition, encouraging a more participatory and inclusive ecclesial environment. The episode concludes with a reflection on how these developments may reshape the future of the Church, fostering a renewed sense of hope and engagement among the laity, particularly women in ministry.Takeaways: The initial 100 days of Pope Leo XIV have been marked by cautious optimism regarding his approach to Church Unity and inclusivity. Pope Leo XIV's emphasis on listening and dialogue suggests a potential shift in the dynamics of women's ministries within the Catholic Church. The synodal process initiated under Pope Francis is expected to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of gender equity in church leadership. Catholic Women Preach continues to advocate for women's voices in preaching, providing a platform for female homilists despite institutional barriers. The reception of Pope Leo XIV among progressive Catholics reflects a mix of hope and skepticism, particularly regarding his stance on women in ministry. Pope Leo XIV's commitment to addressing global social issues may enhance ecumenical relationships with other denominations advocating for gender equity. .Check out all of the other shows in the Anazao Podcast Network:https://anazao-ministries.captivate.fm.Be sure to check out new merch on The Whole Church store:https://my-store-e8a57d.creator-spring.com.Check out the episode we did after Pope Leo XIV was first appointed with Prof Chris Moreland:

You'll hear about how elders and house church leaders likely worked in the cities where the earlychurch began, and how we might model ourselves in similar ways. We also talk about women in ministry, looking at examples in Scripture of how Jesus built his church.

In this episode, we're joined by the wise and wonderful Lisa Harper — author, Bible teacher, and one of the most joy-filled voices in the Church today. With her trademark humor and heartfelt honesty, Lisa shares a powerful conversation with Shelley Giglio about theology, friendship, and the beauty of living in a deep community connection. Lisa opens up about her early struggles with inadequacy and how, for a time, theology became a mask she wore rather than a lens through which she could truly see Jesus. But as God gently reshaped her heart, Lisa began to understand that real theology is deeply relational, all about knowing Christ and letting that knowledge transform our lives. In this conversation, Lisa lets us into how that revelation has impacted her view on community, and challenges us to do the same. She also gives us a glimpse into what God is doing through her Kerygma Conference and her new book, “A Jesus Shaped Life.” In true Lisa Harper fashion, this episode is filled with both deep belly laughs and powerful theological truths, serving as a reminder to us that theology isn't just for classrooms or scholars, but for every woman longing to know Jesus and walk with Him more closely.The Grove is an extension of all God is doing here at Passion City Church in Atlanta, Georgia, to serve and care for women everywhere.
