What does the Bible really say about women in church leadership? In this episode of Jesus Every Day, we explore 1 Timothy 2:8-15—a passage that has sparked much discussion and debate. Understanding its historical and cultural background, particularly in Ephesus with the influence of the Temple of Artemis, helps shed light on Paul's instructions to Timothy.
We’ll unpack key questions:

What did Paul mean about women learning in silence and teaching authority?
How do we reconcile this passage with the many examples of women in ministry throughout Scripture?
What does the puzzling phrase about "salvation through childbearing" really mean?

We’ll also explore two main interpretations—complementarian and egalitarian—and consider how to apply this passage in a way that honors God’s Word and empowers both men and women to use their gifts for His kingdom.
Join us as we dive deep into Scripture, seeking clarity, wisdom, and confidence in engaging with God’s Word—every single day.
