When we helped plant a church in Seattle in the mid 1990s, we had women serving as elders. Having grown up as Southern Baptist, I had not been a part of a church with elders much less women serving as spiritual overseers.
I have written about a biblical approach to women in leadership in the past, but I wanted to share 4 lectures on the subject from Tyler Staton of Bridgetown Church in Portland.
Watch and listen with an open heart and mind, and I think you will begin to see how the Scriptures actually lift up and empower women rather than denigrate or limit them.
For many years, Brian served as the Executive Director of YouVersion. Brian has also teamed with the BibleProject and prior to his time with YouVersion he served as President of Global Commission, a non profit organization aiming to improve the lives of North Africans through small business development and training.
We discuss ministry in post-Christian Portland along with how to best use YouVersion and the Bible Project for those without a church background.
THE POST-CHRISTIAN PODCAST AND GIVEAWAYS:
Our goal with The Post-Christian Podcast is to reframe, simplify, and focus on our mission to make disciples in a post Christian culture. We discuss reaching new people and raising up leaders while removing the barriers of churchianity.
