Egalitarian is a Christian view that men and women share equal calling and authority to lead, teach, and serve across the life of the church and the world.
It argues that the Bible’s vision is not one of female subjugation, but of shared dignity and shared responsibility flowing from being made in the image of God.
Why the Question Matters
This is not only about roles; it is about the kind of God we trust, the kind of community we build, and whether leadership looks like domination or like love expressed through service.
Reading the Whole Story
Across Scripture you see women bearing witness, speaking, leading, and receiving theological teaching. You also find a small number of disputed passages that need to be read with care, context, and humility rather than as slogans.
Leadership as Service
Christian leadership is not the will to power. It is the willingness to lay down your life in love. When that is the model, the goal is not control, but faithfulness, flourishing, and the good of others.
Where Theology Meets Real Life
If you are looking to take these truths from your head to your heart—especially as we navigate the heavy realities of pain, trauma, and trying to live faithfully in a broken world—I want to invite you to explore my book, Forgiveness. Together, we look closely at one of the most challenging yet profoundly restorative commands of Jesus, discovering how it is possible to find healing and hope even when it feels impossible.
