Summary

On today’s episode of the Journeywomen podcast, I’m chatting with Mary Willson about women’s roles in the church. We’re praying this conversation will serve as a catalyst to dig into the Word and to pursue further dialogue with women in your own local churches.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Journey Women Podcast. I'm your host, Hunter Beelis. Life's a journey we were
0:08.8	never meant to walk alone. We all need friends along the way. On the Journey Women Podcast, we'll
0:13.7	chat with mentors about gracefully navigating the seasons and challenges we face on our journeys
0:18.8	to glorify God. On today's episode of the Journey Women Podcast, I'm chatting with Mary Wilson
0:25.2	about women's roles in the church. When Mary and I started talking, I may have admitted to my
0:30.5	armpits sweating a little bit while I'm sitting here recording in the closet. This can be a little
0:35.6	bit of a sensitive topic, but as the conversation progressed, it was clear that Mary's somebody who you
0:41.0	can talk to that just oozes grace. I hope you'll listen like you're sitting across the table from
0:46.1	us as we discuss everything from where we see women exercising their spiritual gifts in the scriptures

1:17.6	Along with being trained in the local church context, she received formal theological training
1:22.4	at Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary and at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. Mary enjoys
1:28.0	teaching and training others to teach the scriptures, especially in the local church context.
1:32.7	I can't wait for y'all to hear from her today, but you know before we go there that I want to
1:36.7	tell you about the sponsors who helped make today's episode possible. Crossway, West Rock, and Fabbit
1:43.1	If you aren't sure what Fabbit Fun is or how it works, it's a seasonal subscription box with
1:47.7	full-size beauty, fitness, and lifestyle products. That means that four times a year when your
1:52.4	Fabbit Fun Box appears on your doorstep, you get the exciting experience of opening it up to see
