Paul’s guidance to the early church calls men and women to function together in leadership, within a community of quietness and peace. Consider the view that restrictions on women are not the final word on the giftedness and calling of women in church leadership. This podcast takes a deep dive into the details of 1 Timothy chapters 2, 3 and 5 concerning female and male leaders. Scott Stocking joins us in discussing the passages that are used to restrict women from church leadership and the reasons to understand that Paul is addressing the character and not the gender of those leading and exercising their giftedness.
