Strength and Dignity: Week Three - The Story of Deborah

In this weeks podcast, Jim Putman talks with Blake Whiteman and Heather Dalton about men's and women's roles in church leadership. They begin by discussing the current trend of Progressivism among Christians, then they move on to the story of Deborah, a women judge we see in the Bible, and how she stepped up to what God was calling her to do. Here are some of the points they touch on in this episode:

 

• Christian progressives tend to believe that as time goes by the Holy Spirt will lead us to new understanding and a new trajectory of truth.
• The New Testament is clear that we are not to add or take anything from the scripture
• There are boundaries laid out in the Bible about sex and gender - we have equal value but we complement each other.
• At Real Life Ministries, we teach from a complementarianism view of men and women's roles, not an egalitarianism one.
• All of us, as followers of Jesus, are to submit to one another - we need to focus more on posture, not position.
