Women serving in church leadership is controversial in many denominations. A recent caller asked if women are allowed to speak in church and if they can hold leadership positions of any kind.

1 Corinthians 14 says women should remain silent in church. And 1 Timothy 2 says women shouldn’t teach men. So, what’s up with these two passages?

Here, I share my take on whether Paul is saying women today should never speak in church. Plus, I address how these controversial passages reconcile with others in the New Testament where women are clearly serving as prophets and deacons and even hosting home churches.

You’re going to love this one, because it’s such an important topic to clarify!
