Does the Great Commission give women permission to preach and hold positions of spiritual authority over men? In this study, we examine common arguments used to support women preachers—including those from writers like Lisa Bevere and Rick Warren—and look closely at what the text of Matthew 28 actually teaches.
Join us as we break down the context of the Great Commission, how it applies to the apostles versus the church today, and how to properly interpret Scripture in light of other New Testament passages regarding church leadership and teaching roles.
