After the SBC Ruling — Does the Bible Actually Forbid Women From Preaching?

About this episode

Dan Duval explores whether the Bible forbids women from preaching and examines key scriptural passages on the topic.

In this episode of Discovering Truth with Dan Duval, Dan tackles one of the most contested questions in the body of Christ: Does the Bible endorse women as preachers, teachers, pastors, apostles, and prophets? Dan cuts straight to the chase — he believes in ministry through men and women of God and embraces it fully at Bride Ministries. But the question is why, and for those wrestling with specific passages in Scripture, he walks through the biblical evidence step by step. This teaching examines the two primary passages used to restrict women in ministry — 1 Corinthians 14 and 1 Timothy 2 — unpacking the original Greek, the cultural context Paul was addressing, and what "keep silent" actually means. Dan then moves through both Testaments to show that every office of the fivefold ministry has been occupied by women, from Miriam and Deborah in the Old Testament to Priscilla, Dorcas, the woman at the well, Philip's daughters, and Junia in the New. If you've sat in a seat wondering why women are in ministry, or you've just gone along with it without a solid biblical foundation — this episode gives you that foundation.
