Can a woman be a pastor of a church? Let's go to the good authoritative word to find out.

Welcome to the Sheproves' Faithful Podcast, episode number 127.

Truth and Encouragement to live gospel-centered lives every day. I'm your host, Lauren Lushak.

Hi, everyone. Thank you so much for listening to today's episode. My name is Lauren, and I am a big fan of

those little mini sprites in a can, straight from the fridge. No ice, just nice and cold. Today, I'm

covering something that has been widely debated by many people,

and even the Southern Baptist Convention is coming up against it with their own Beth Moore.

There's been some issues arising, and I'm here to bring us to the good Word of God today to shine light on,

is there such thing as women

pastors? And this is dear to my heart, this topic, and I don't think I've ever talked about it

in length, like explain the scriptures. I think I've thrown it out there that women, well,

should I reveal it already? Women are not qualified to be pastors of a church. And as someone who

loves teaching and loves public speaking, I bought a microphone and I record myself talking in it

once a week. So as someone who loves doing this, I think I get more excited about this topic

because I understand the women who have gifts with public speaking, have gifts of leadership.

And so I'm here to talk about it and bring us to the word. But before we jump in, I have a

great life hack for you. I'm so excited. I went back on

and watched more videos from that minimal mom lady on YouTube I told you about. She like changed

my life with meal planning. Well, we're working on it. I'm still trying to figure out the

system of what's comfortable for me because I leave things off my shopping list. I'm just not there

yet. But I just want to tell you.

I love it and I hate it. It's so good to minimize. I'm not ever going to be a minimalist,
