In this episode of the Innovative Church Leaders podcast, I interview Brad Sarian, who shares his transformative journey from a complementarian perspective to advocating for women in church leadership. Brad serves as the Lead Pastor of Restored L.A. in Chatsworth, CA.
Restored is part of the Restored Family of Churches which shares the same vision, mission, and values. They work closely together to plant churches, make disciples of Jesus, and bring the Gospel to the nations.
5 Key Takeaways:
1. Brad shares his journey towards a significant shift in understanding women’s roles in church leadership.
2. The process of ordaining women elders has been met with both support and resistance.
3. Emotional narratives and cultural interpretations often influence people’s views on church leadership more than biblical arguments.
4. The interpretation of key biblical passages is crucial in understanding women’s roles in the church.
5. The Bible promotes liberation and equality among genders in the church.
