Sunday Night Potluck – In this unscripted livestream, I explain the growing movement of abolitionism, which involves a different approach to calling out the wickedness of abortion. And why I have become sympathetic to aspects of this framework.
Conversation breakdown:
0:00 – Welcome
3:07 – Abortion & Abolitionist Movement
26:08 – Discussion about Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) & women in ministry begins
29:24 – Fracturing inside complementarianism
34:40 – Survey: 81% of Southern Baptists okay with women preaching
36:30 – Clip from “Battle for the Bible” documentary (women preaching examples)
41:19 – Al Mohler amendment passed (still needs one more vote)
44:45 – Pastor vs. elder debate + different complementarian views
53:49 – Host’s personal view change (no longer does pulpit sermons)
1:01:27 – Advice to young women with teaching gifts
1:06:41 — What about churches in other parts of the world with no set offices (like Acts model)?
1:08:11 — norm vs exceptions
1:09:10 — Deep desire to teach and disciple younger women (Titus 2)
1:10:05 — What’s the difference between pastors and priests?
1:10:52 — Struggle with staying in a church that has unqualified elders
1:12:17 — Question about ordination track: “90% of women should not be ordained” (and most men shouldn’t either) + critique of modern seminary/calling model
1:14:40 — Why do seminaries accept women’s money if they won’t lead churches?
1:17:50 – Wrap-up
In the second half, I share my take on the rise of women preaching in elder-led churches and how it connects to what's happening in the SBC and PCA.
