112 — Women in Ministry Part 1: Understanding the Three Main Views

In today’s episode, Jenny walks through one of the most discussed topics in the church: the role of women in leadership.

Rather than arguing for a position, this episode is designed to help you understand the three primary perspectives you’ll encounter: egalitarian, complementarian, and soft complementarian.

Each of these views is rooted in Scripture. The differences come from how key passages are interpreted and applied, especially when it comes to leadership, authority, and the New Covenant.

If you’ve ever felt confused by this conversation, this episode will help you see where each perspective comes from and why people land in different places.

Suggested Scriptures for Further Study

• 1 Timothy 2:11–15

• Titus 1:5-9
• 1 Corinthians 11 and 14
• Romans 16
• Galatians 3:28
• Acts 2:17-18

Take time to read these in context and consider how each perspective interprets them.
