Show notes

Women may not be pastors. That's a clear directive for Church order in the Scriptures (1 Timothy 3; 2 Timothy 2:12-14; 1 Corinthians 14:33-39). But can women handle matters of faith outside the church? In this episode, host Veritéetfeu examines the role of Christian women in the public square, including her own work as a female Christian blogger.

REPLAY - E12: Submission Sep 30, 2019

Show notes

Submission is a highly controversial concept in our culture, and, as of late, this topic has also been hotly debated amongst professing Christians. But what is submission, exactly? Is it something only wives should do? What does it look like in a marriage, on the job or in other facets of life and faith? In this episode host Veritéetfeu explores this topic Biblically with the help of special guests Elder Tyrell and Marie Samuels of Temple Hills Baptist Church.
