Episode 362: Women in Leadership in the Bible

In many traditions of the Church, there has been confusion and controversy about the roles of women in ministry. While people still debate what Paul meant in a few passages, there is strong evidence throughout Scripture that God intended women to take a leadership role. Women in the Bible were prophetesses, judges, queens, deacons, and maybe even apostles. They were leaders in both official and unofficial capacities. 

In today’s top ten list, we spotlight women from both the Old and New Testaments: Miriam, Rahab, Deborah, Rizpah, Jehosheba, Esther, Lydia, Nympha, Phoebe, and Junia.
