E3 | Are Female Pastors Biblical? The 1 Timothy 2 Debate (1 Timothy 2:11-12)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Few passages have stirred more confusion, frustration, and even hurt in the church than 1 Timothy 2:11–12. For some, these verses have felt silencing. For others, they’ve felt clear yet controversial. Did Paul forbid women from serving as pastors—or have we misunderstood his intent?
In this episode, we carefully examine the meaning of elder, overseer, and pastor, trace Paul’s argument through creation order and worship, and let Scripture interpret Scripture to clarify what the Bible actually teaches.
