Did Paul really ban women from teaching in church? What does Paul mean when he says women are “saved through childbearing” and he doesn’t permit a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man? Why does Paul contradict this by affirming a woman in ministry as a deacon in Romans? If women can’t be a part of ministry, then what do we do with all the other women in biblical history like Deborah, Miriam, Hannah, the woman at the well, and the women who were the first ones to see Jesus resurrected? Why would God allow this to be so confusing in scripture to the point where it’s debated if women should be allowed in ministry? If you wrestle with these things, this episode is for you.
