Women Were Leading. The New Testament Shows it Clearly.
Jun 800:55:52Tap to summarizeDISCLAIMER: When I recorded this episode, I had no idea it would be released during the same week the Southern Baptist Convention would once again be debating the role of women in church leadership. The timing makes this conversation especially relevant, but this episode was not created in response to current events. The views shared reflect my understanding of the New Testament and its first-century context. As with any discussion of Scripture, I encourage listeners to study the text for themselves and engage thoughtfully, whether they ultimately agree or disagree with my conclusions.Have you ever wondered what the New Testament really says about women in leadership? This episode dives into the overlooked stories of women who carried letters, taught apostles, and led early churches—roles that challenge many of today’s assumptions. The discussion explores how translation choices and church traditions have shifted the spotlight away from female leaders, even though their names and deeds are clearly documented in scripture. If you’re ready to question long-held beliefs and reexamine what the New Testament actually shows about women’s roles, this conversation is for you."Using scripture to tell half the church they have no place in leadership is not protection—it's spiritual bullying." - Tim WindersAccess all show and episode resources HEREEpisode Resources:NT90 Hub – This is the central website for the 90-day New Testament reading plan, with downloadable, printable plans, background information, and links to all episodes and resources.Episode Highlights:00:00 Women in Romans 1602:51 Why This Matters09:20 Reading Without Bias11:55 Phoebe Carried Romans18:44 Priscilla and Aquila19:55 Junia Named Apostle21:27 More Women in Romans22:34 Beyond Romans 1623:01 Lydia and House Churches24:05 Women Leaders Elsewhere26:09 Elect Lady and Authority28:03 Lois and Eunice Legacy28:34 Faith Shaped by Women28:59 Tabitha the Disciple29:36 Names Edited Over Time30:30 Why Hebrews Is Anonymous33:26 Case for Priscilla36:32 Pattern of Erasing Women37:09 Two Verses Objection38:51 Silence in Corinth Context42:25 Authority in Ephesus47:15 Three Kingdoms Backdrop49:16 Kingdom Breaks Ceilings51:46 Live the Text Today53:48 Final Challenge and Next
