#18 (S3) Surprise Callings, Women in Ministry & Nijay Gupta's Tell Her Story
If you’re paying attention to religion news, you probably noticed the controversy over women pastors in the Southern Baptist Convention (i.e. they’re prohibited). Today’s episode is a conversation with Assemblies of God minister Nicky Stade,* a first-generation ordained Pentecostal preacher who was surprised by her calling into pastoral ministry. Nicky and I talk all about Nijay Gupta’s recently released book, Tell Her Story: How Women Led, Taught, and Ministered in the Early Church, and about the challenges that still exist to normalize women in ministry.
