Summary: <br> <br> Traditionally speaking, the role of elder/pastor has been filled by men. But over the last 100-150 years, there has been a movement to allow women to fill the role of elder/pastor within Evangelical churches. With that comes the question as to what type of speaking and preaching women should be allowed to do within the church.<br> <br> That begs the question: Should women be allowed to preach? If not, why not? If yes, how should that play out in our contemporary church context?<br> <br> In 1 Timothy 2, the Apostle Paul clearly outlines a form of preaching that ought not be made available for women, however in 1 Corinthians 11 there is a form of public speaking and "prophecy" that women are invited to do, and it seems that women are even expected to speak and lead the congregation in prayer at times.<br> <br> In this episode, Kenny dives into this topic, highlighting the important elements of 1 Corinthians 11 and 1 Timothy 2, and also giving some modern examples as to how this ought to be executed well by church leaders within our modern church context.<br> <br> Recommended<br> <br> <a href="http://amzn.to/2e3zBPR" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Accidental Feminist (by Courtney Reissig)</a><br> <br> <a href="http://amzn.to/2ec1OCd" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Men and Women, Equal Yet Different (by Alexander Strauch)</a><br> <br> <a href="http://amzn.to/2ev0gHK" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Meaning of Marriage (by Timothy Keller)</a><br> <br> <a href="http://amzn.to/2exfUlp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Biblical Foundations for Manhood and Womanhood (by Wayne Grudem, Bruce Ware, John Piper)</a><br> <br> <a href="http://amzn.to/2dX9yJV" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">What's the Difference?: Manhood and Womanhood Defined According to the Bible (by John Piper)</a>
