Women in Leadership Seminar

Women in Leadership Seminar

What does the Bible actually say about women leading in the church — and does your answer depend on which passages you've been handed? Walking through Genesis, the Gospels, and the contested letters of Paul, this conversation doesn't dodge the hard texts. It digs into them. What emerges is a case rooted in original languages, historical context, and the full arc of Scripture — from Eden's partnership to new creation's restoration. Wherever you land, you'll leave with a richer understanding of the questions themselves.

This is Church - Deacons

What if the people quietly setting up chairs, paying for someone's groceries, or staying late to clean up aren't supporting the church's mission — they are the mission? Explore how one crisis in the earliest days of Christianity forged a structure so compelling that even its enemies couldn't replicate it, and what that means for every follower of Jesus today — title or not.

This is Church - One Spirit

Two thousand years of church history didn't begin with a strategy, a charismatic leader, or a clever vision statement. It began with 120 frightened people in a room, waiting. What showed up wasn't what anyone expected — and it hasn't left since. Whether you're skeptical of organized religion or quietly hungry for something that actually holds, understanding what the church actually is at its foundation might change how you see the gathering you walked into today.

This is Church - Elders

Leadership in Jesus's kingdom isn't a position you earn — it's a posture you choose. And surprisingly, the qualifications Paul outlines for church leaders have almost nothing to do with credentials and almost everything to do with character. If you've ever felt like the title mattered more than the life behind it, this cuts straight to what Jesus actually said greatness looks like.

This is Church - A Distinct People

What if the loneliness epidemic isn't a social problem — it's a spiritual one? Tribes fracture when they demand purity over belonging. Networks evaporate when you're no longer useful. Crowds give you a rush and then forget you existed. What Jesus builds is categorically different: people who shouldn't be in the same room, held together by something the world simply cannot manufacture, no matter how hard it tries.
