"The church needs a lot more Deborahs...who lead and teach...and do so with a perspective that is sometimes hidden to us as guys...Those of us who work in the church have to ask ourselves if we are as committed to raising up Deborahs as we are to raising up Gideons." @jdgreear

@jdgreear Hypothetical: "You're in a house church + I'm the one leading the Bible study...my wife raises her hand...says something out in the Bible teaching time that some guy in the circle feels like is insightful. 'Oh no! I just learned something!' Did she sin and he sin? Of course not."

@jdgreear "We have gone literally through our entire staff directory...and just asked, 'where have we just traditionally assigned this to a man when...a woman could lead it?'...That's a question that those of you that are Southern Baptists, we've got to ask in the convention at large."

@jdgreear "The evangelical church in the west has suffered...too often we've only had 1 perspective at the table...I can't help but wonder if this sexual abuse crisis...might have been avoided...if those sitting around the table...had experienced knowing what it's like to be vulnerable."

Gonna start another thread, as this takes a TURN.
