0:00:00 Intro
0:02:16 Why I refused to talk about this for years
0:06:38 What are Egalitarian, Complementarian, and Patriarchal?
0:15:00 I have over 40 hours of teaching on this debate
0:16:57 What you can expect today
0:18:46 What surprised me the most about this research project
0:22:33 The growing tide of egalitarianism
0:26:05 Egalitarians are right but still wrong
0:26:55 Comps and Pats are wrong but still right
0:28:07 This is a secondary/family issue but it’s worth arguing over
0:30:03 We bypass the Bible
0:33:49 Three things you need to believe when you study this issue
0:34:49 THE THREE PILLARS: Solid truths that should not be debated
0:35:26 Pillar #1: Male headship and female submission in marriage
0:47:26 Pillar #2: Elders positions and functions are for men only
1:01:03 Pillar #3: Women’s status as image bearers and sons of God is inviolable
1:26:00 The 3 pillars summarized
1:27:24 The big question: How far should we draw out the application beyond marriage and eldership?
1:35:49 My interpretive methodology of “rules and examples” explained
1:40:12 An example of a good wife rebelling against her husband.
1:44:15 Quick summary of the impact of letting biblical examples help us apply gender rules.
1:47:12 Women in government: Deborah breaks the strongest patriarchal view.
1:52:37 Are women in government some lofty ideal?
1:53:32 Women bosses/employers.
1:56:56 Queens had some authority that men were told to yield to.
1:58:39 Should men have a resistant attitude toward women in positions of authority?
1:59:20 Should women vote?
2:01:28 The Bible is not limiting all women from all authority over all men
2:01:59 Women being “homemakers”
2:11:08 Am I saying there is no application outside marriage and church?
2:12:09 Scripture refutes modern gender values.
2:15:23 We should embrace these gender stereotypes.
2:19:17 Negative stereotypes to reject.
2:21:20 What do we do in our society that kicks against God’s design?
2:23:18 What would I say to a young woman who is looking at family and career options?
2:23:53 SUMMARY of how to apply biblical principles in society, outside of ministry and marriage
2:29:09 What detailed guidelines do we have for women in ministry?
2:29:44 what is an elder/pastor?
2:37:50 What’s wrong with using “pastor” for people who aren’t biblical elders?
2:43:32 What is a deacon?
2:53:22 The two simple principles guiding us regarding women in ministry.
2:55:01 Can women be church ushers?
2:56:23 What about serving in tech and media ministry?
2:56:47 What about being a children’s ministry teacher?
2:57:13 What about food ministry?
2:57:22 What about unofficial teaching moments?
2:59:15 What about women evangelizing men?
3:00:28 What about “stage evangelism” like Greg Laurie?
3:01:46 What about women theologians?
3:06:08 What about being in seminary classes?
3:07:53 A woman theologian who writes a book on theology that men read?
3:12:19 Running a podcast or YouTube channel?
3:17:00 Women’s ministries and weak women
3:18:07 Women prophesying in mixed gathering?
3:22:17 Doing church announcements?
3:22:47 Leading in prayer congregationally?
3:23:48 Any ministry that isn’t to adult men?
3:24:43 When does a boy become a man?
3:30:03 Being a leader and teacher in youth ministry?
3:32:16 Women teaching men and women outside of the church setting?
3:37:09 Teaching in church apart from the Sunday pulpit?
3:41:00 Teaching in church from the Sunday morning pulpit?
3:48:01 Women worship leaders?
3:51:41 Leading ministries to children with men under their authority?
3:53:03 A word for those who want to err on the side of safety
3:54:38 Things I didn’t want to forget to mention
3:54:51 Husbands are not “the priests of their wives”
3:57:11 Are we supposed to restrict women being “influential”?
3:58:01 Women do possess gifts of leadership and teaching
3:58:41 Women don’t need to show an attitude of submission to all men
4:00:47 These rules are NOT based on women being less capable.
4:04:54 Your sense of calling and skills are not enough.
4:05:17 This will protect against woke ideology
4:06:25 CONCLUSIONS: In the end, how far do we extend the boundaries?
4:08:58 If you disagree with me please do this
4:09:54 About that thing I left out that proves me wrong
4:10:22 A warning about egalitarians
4:13:18 It is NOT enough to just believe in biblical gender roles
4:14:36 Our secular culture needs these truths
4:15:28 What would I say to a woman pastor who just realized the truth?
4:18:08 I’m finally done.
