Can Women Be Pastors? | Ask A Pastor Ep. 11

Can women be pastors? It’s one of the most debated questions in the Church today, and Christians who love Jesus and believe the Bible often come to different conclusions. In this episode of Ask a Pastor, Pastor Todd takes a deep dive into what Scripture actually says about women in ministry. Looking at the stories of Deborah, Miriam, Huldah, Priscilla, Phoebe, and others, we’ll explore how God has used women throughout biblical history and why Pentecost changed everything. We’ll also tackle the difficult passages in 1 Timothy and 1 Corinthians, discuss the role of the Holy Spirit in calling and gifting believers, and examine why many Pentecostals believe women can serve as pastors and church leaders. Whether you’re wrestling with this question personally, have been taught that women cannot pastor, or simply want to understand the issue better, this conversation will challenge you to look at the whole counsel of God’s Word.
