Women Are Capable of Being a Spiritual Leaders at Home

If you grew up in the evangelical, North American church, we were probably filled with the same teaching about a wife’s place in the home: second place. You were probably led to believe that you couldn’t be a spiritual leader.

Our husbands were told to make every final decision, and to be responsible for the spiritual lives of their whole family. If they DIDN’T do that, their masculinity was questioned.

Our job as wives was to be meek helpers. If we DIDN’T do that, our femininity was questioned.

Can I say something without you totally freaking out?

I don’t believe that anymore. We too are capable of being spiritual leaders.
