Podcasts about women in ministry

Tara Beth Leach has been with us before. She is a friend of New Room (and a friend of mine!), a pastor, preacher, writer, and advocate for women in ministry (find her latest blog on that topic if you are a woman leader who needs a little encouragement. Its powerful). Currently, Tara Beth serves as the senior pastor at Good Shepherd Church in Naperville, Illinois. She previously served as senior pastor of First Church of the Nazarene of Pasadena (“PazNaz”) in Southern California (that story is also worth finding and reading). She is the author of Emboldened, Radiant Church, and Forty Days on Being a Six. Today, we're talking with her about a new book that releases this week called The Great Morning Revolution. She's here to help us get back to the basics and discover how a morning devotional routine can revolutionize your life. I hope you not only listen ... but live this. 

We're back with a dear friend of the podcast—author, speaker, and fellow pastor's wife Rebecca George! Rebecca is the author of You're Not Too Late: Trusting God's Timing in a Hurry-Up World, host of the Radical Radiance podcast, and a woman who loves Jesus and encouraging others to live with purpose right where they are.In this episode, Rebecca gives us a real and raw update on life lately, including her husband's health journey and the role physical therapy has played in their day-to-day. She also shares her heart for retreats (and why she loves welcoming women into her home in Tennessee!), her experience writing You're Not Too Late, and the deep struggles many of us face—comparison, envy, unmet expectations, and the weight of waiting on God's timing.This conversation is packed with encouragement and practical wisdom for pastors' wives and women in ministry who know what it's like to wonder if they're falling behind. Spoiler: you're not too late, and God's plan for you is still unfolding. Takeaways you'll love:Honest reflections on walking through health challenges as a ministry coupleWhy community and support matter so deeply during hard seasonsPractical tools for battling comparison and envy in ministry lifeEncouragement for navigating unmet expectations and trusting God's timingA reminder that vulnerability and intentional friendships bring freedomWhether you're in a season of waiting, struggling with comparison, or simply longing for a reminder of God's perfect timing, Rebecca's words will meet you right where you are.Connect with Rebecca:Instagram WebsiteGet all the info about our next pastors' wives retreat and apply here:https://www.pastorswivestellall.com/attendaretreatTo purchase the BOOK, head here: ⁠https://pastorswivestellall.com/book⁠⁠To shop our MERCH, head here: ⁠https://pastorswivestellall.com/shop⁠⁠Want to support the Pastors' Wives Tell All podcast ministry?

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:

What does it mean to follow God when His guidance comes in whispers rather than wonders? In this profound and soul-stirring Topic Talk, Dr. Angela Chester sits down with Christian mystic, educator, and author Mark K. Olsen to explore the quiet ways God leads us—especially during seasons of uncertainty, stillness, and change.Mark shares insights from his deeply spiritual walk and writing, offering timeless truths about hearing God's voice, trusting divine timing, and staying faithful when the path ahead is unclear. This is a must-listen for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of spiritual discernment, contemplative faith, and the mystical beauty of walking with God in quiet surrender.

In this week's episode, Pastor Brian closes out the book of Esther with a powerful message on justice, deliverance, and forgiveness - reminding us to remember what God has done. We also honored our pastors' wives, women in ministry, and Ms Jean Shields for her many years of faithful service to our church.

What does it really mean to be both strong in faith and fully feminine? In this heartfelt and revealing episode, Dr. Angela unpacks the beauty and boldness of embracing femininity without compromising spiritual depth or leadership authority. Whether you're nurturing a family, building a business, or both, this conversation invites you to explore how grace and grit can coexist in the life of a woman of faith. It's time to rise with intention, lead with softness, and rediscover the sacred power of who you are.

One of the common questions we are asked regarding house churches is, How do you practice leadership? Team member David Legge walks through a Biblical understanding of leadership as it pertains to a house church. You'll hear Kathryn and David discuss the five-fold leadership outlined in Ephesians 4, and a weave of leadership that doesn't look as hierarchical, but still has Bibical order. 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 a subject that can feel overwhelming or even controversial,  we hope that you might find helpful ways to look at church leadership in your own context through this discussion. 

Join us as Brenda, Kelly, and Rosemary discuss some of the unique dynamics of being a pastor's wife and how that can affect relationships with other staff members of the church. They explore some topics such as authority, friendship boundaries, and navigating your role when you're neither boss nor employee in a church setting. We pray that this conversation encourages you to continue to lead with humility and transparency by the filling and empowerment of the Spirit.----When She Leads is a podcast for women in ministry hosted by Brenda Leavenworth, Krista Fox, Rosemary Cady, and Kelly Bell.Email us at info@whensheleads.orgFollow us on Instagram at @whensheleads

This is the message from our weekend services on 7/6/2025 with Pastor Chet Lowe.

On occasion we address Covenant Church family questions during the Sunday morning message. We want to engage our folks where they are, and these questions help our pastors be more effective, by understanding where they struggle.There are many decisions Covenant makes, positions we take et al that do not make the difference between heaven and hell, and on which other churches sometimes take a different approach. Because our church is multi-denominational, we have many rich faith traditions represented among our people. Today we look at “What About the Women?” What does the Bible teach us about the role of women in the church?Join in as we listen to answers on difficult questions about our faith, and our church.LINKS + RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE:• Recommended reading for this message: Two Views of Women in Ministry; Sandra Glahn, Ph.D., “Nobody's Mother”; “Jesus & Gender” by Elyse M.

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.

Send us a text In this episode of the Bare Marriage Podcast, I am talking with Biblical Greek scholar Marg Mowczko about the true meaning of "headship" in the Bible. Marg reveals that the Greek word "kephale" (head) doesn't typically mean "leader" or "authority" in ancient literature, and that no verse actually commands men to lead their wives. Instead,  head-body metaphors are used in Scripture to describe unity and mutual care and as a picture of growing into the likeness of Christ for ALL Christians.  Together, Marg and I talk about the Biblical evidence of Paul's support for women in ministry roles. We also take a moment to discuss the best Bible versions for more accurate translation in key passages about submission and hierarchy. TO SUPPORT US: Join our Patreon for as little as $5 a month to support our workFor tax deductible donations in the U.S., support Good Fruit Faith Initiative through the Bosko FoundationAnd check out our Merch, or any of our courses!Join our email list!THINGS MENTIONEDMarg's websiteMarg's patreonMarg's blog post on the best Bible versionEverything on 1 Corinthians 11Everything on Ephesians 5Support the showJoin Sheila at Bare Marriage.com!Check out her books: The Great Sex Rescue She Deserves Better The Good Girl's Guide to Great Sex and The Good Guy's Guide to Great Sex And she has an Orgasm Course and a Libido course too!Check out all her courses, FREE resources, social media, books, and so much more at Sheila's LinkTree.
