Should Women Be Allowed To Preach?

Unless you are living under a rock, there is a tremendous amount of controversy within the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) concerning this issue. The SBC meets June 13-14, 2023, and one of the resolutions proposed by Tom Ascol you can read here. It is regarding the office of the pastor/elder and if women are able, according to Scripture fulfill this office. The question is not about ability, but it is biblical.

In this episode, I unpack the necessary systematics and hermeneutical understanding to arrive at a biblical answer concerning this question. There have been many who have written and addressed this subject far superior to myself; however, I have had several of the members at my church 5 Bridges in Panama City Beach as me to wade into the water to assist them in how to process all of the information.

I pray this helps bring some form of clarity or helps you process several items concerning interpreting the Bible.
