Women in Ministry: Breaking Stereotypes and Embracing Calling

There are no gender restrictions on these things.
Ever wondered what it's like for women in male-dominated fields, especially in ministry? In this episode of 'Discovering Our Scars', hosts Steph and Beth dive into the challenges and triumphs of being female leaders in spaces traditionally dominated by men. Celebrating Beth’s Seminary graduation, they tackle the tough questions head-on, including why some denominations still don't allow women to preach.
Beth shares her personal journey as a female pastor, discussing the biblical interpretations that often exclude women and why she feels called to her role despite these barriers. The episode also sheds light on Junia, an often-overlooked figure in the Bible, and her significance for anyone serious about scripture. Alongside their theological discussions, Steph and Beth open up about dealing with internet trolls and offer practical advice on handling negativity online.
This episode isn't just about breaking barriers; it's about understanding the importance of diverse voices in all fields, including religion. Tune in for an honest, heartfelt conversation that encourages listeners to rethink traditional gender roles and embrace inclusivity.
