Episode Synopsis

On this month's episode of the podcast, Austin and Jacob have a conversation with Ruthie Severance about women in ministry and the history of that stance within the Friends denomination. Ruthie is the lead pastor at East Hills Friends Church in Kent, WA and has been since 2019. We talk about her calling, what lead her to the Friends denomination, and talked about some of the common Bible verses that people quote to either accept or renounce women in ministry.
Austin mentions Margaret Fell and her works on women speaking in church. You can buy that here if you are interested: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/womens-speaking-justified-and-other-pamphlets-margaret-fell/1139714408?ean=9780866985956
