BIBLICAL WISDOM: Understanding God's Design for Women in Ministry | Under God Podcast Episode 176

Are you wrestling with questions about women's roles in the church? Tired of extreme positions that either silence women completely or ignore biblical order entirely? This episode delivers the biblical confidence you need to navigate these conversations with wisdom and grace.

Pastor Nathan Brown and Pastor Daniel Hayworth conclude their comprehensive series on women in ministry with special guest Deanna Opheim, a powerful woman in ministry at Vintage Church Liberty Hill. Together, they explore how the New Testament radically elevates women while maintaining God-given distinctions that create order, peace, and empowerment rather than chaos.

What You'll Discover:

✅ How Jesus revolutionized women's roles in ways that shocked the first-century culture

✅ Why your primary identity in Christ transcends all cultural labels and pressure

✅ Biblical headship in marriage and church—what it really means when applied like Christ

✅ Real testimony from a black female leader choosing Christ's identity over cultural demands

✅ The difference between capability and God's design for order in church governance

✅ Where Vintage Church draws the lines on women's leadership and why

✅ Practical application of biblical principles in modern ministry contexts

This isn't compromise or cultural capitulation. This is biblical truth that works in real life—creating strong families, healthy churches, and empowered believers who know their identity comes from Christ, not culture.

Whether you're a church leader, married couple, or individual believer seeking clarity on these issues, this episode equips you with scriptural wisdom to stand firm in God's design while celebrating the unique gifts He's given to both men and women.
