Who are you submitting to? Here's Dr. Russell Moore.

Most of the women in our churches have a problem not first and foremost with a refusal to submit,

but that they are submitting indiscriminately.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast for Tuesday, December 29, 2015.

Years ago, as a young woman starting into ministry, I became convinced through my study of the Word of God

that as a woman, I was called to speak primarily to women, and that God calls men to the roles of

pastors and elders in the church. Now, in those early years, while I believed that, there were moments

when I was tempted to feel a little resentful

about that. Because as that 20-something-year-old young woman, I think there was this little sense

inside of me that if I'd been born as a man, that maybe God could use my life in a more significant

way for his kingdom. Well, that's been a lot of years ago, and since then,

the Lord has helped me to discover and embrace and delight in his calling in my life, which

involves teaching His Word to women. And I've been challenged over these years to think

through a lot of practical issues, such as how can women serve most effectively in the

church? And when we embrace our God-given role as women in the body of Christ, what does that

look like practically? What does that mean? Well, Dr. Russell Moore addressed some of these

questions in a message on Mary of Nazareth.

Yesterday, we listened to Part 1 of this practical message.

Today, as we continue listening, Dr. Moore is going to show us real-life practical applications

of Mary's story.

Russell Moore is president of the Southern Baptist Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission.

He's also an author and a blogger. Now, let's listen to Part 2 of his message.
