Should the Church Allow Women to Be Pastors?

Judah Smith

Yeah, I think there seems to be a variant sense across the board. Some of my dearest friends would not have women pastors. They would have women teaching, communicating, and leading. But, they wouldn't license women in ministry.

At City Church, we have licensed ministers that are women. There's a merit of scriptures and things and cultural context and stuff that we've unpacked. But obviously, looking to the life and ministry of Jesus is kind of the ultimate standard in terms of His recognition of women. Their support of Him, and then, of course, in the New Testament narrative, I find biblical precedent.
