About this listen

Are women called to lead—or called to stay silent? In this powerful episode of Sacrificially Speaking, we dive into the heated debate about women’s roles in church leadership.


From Deborah judging Israel to women funding and hosting early churches, the Bible is full of examples that challenge modern traditions. So why do so many congregations still resist women stepping into the pulpit or leading teams?


This episode unpacks:

🔹 The real reasons some churches limit women’s leadership

🔹 How culture, tradition, and misused Scriptures shaped these mindsets

🔹 Why boldness in women is often labeled pride—but celebrated in men

🔹 What healthy authority looks like in the home and the church

🔹 Whether being married should actually matter for ministry

🔹 Stories of women who shaped history through unshakable faith


Whether you’ve wondered about this topic or lived it yourself, this conversation will challenge you to think deeper, study Scripture for yourself, and embrace what God has called you to do—no matter your gender.
