Once again, I'm on one of Preston's launch teams! I loved being a part of this one, because the conversation about women in church leadership is one that I have engaged already! Listen to this if you want to wade into the waters of the conversation, then, read Preston's book if you want to learn to swim in them. Regardless of where you land on the issue, this is sure to be a provocative one!
