Women have a huge role in Christian ministry—just look at Phoebe the deacon (Romans 16:1-2), Priscilla teaching Apollos (Acts 18:26), or Deborah leading Israel (Judges 4-5). But Scripture doesn’t place them as head pastors or elders. Passages like 1 Timothy 2:11-12 and 3:1-7 point to men in those roles, with no women named as elders in the Bible. I believe God designed it this way—not to limit women, but to shape the church with distinct roles. Check out my full thoughts in the blog post!
