Ep 830 | Southern Baptist Debate: Female Pastors? | Guest: Pastor Tom Ascol
Today we're joined by Pastor Tom Ascol of Grace Baptist Church to discuss the Southern Baptist Convention's annual meeting held a few weeks ago, where the big topic was whether Rick Warren's Saddleback Church would remain in the SBC after its new stance on female pastors. Pastor Tom breaks down what happened and the major arguments, as well as why Rick Warren's argument doesn't hold up against biblical standards. We discuss how God does in fact equip women to share the gospel and learn theology, but a pastor is not just a evangelist, nor just a theologian. We also discuss the failure of men to take responsibility and how detrimental that is to the church and to our roles as men and women. Then we take a look at a Twitter interaction between Senator Ted Cruz and Pastor Ascol regarding Uganda's anti-homosexuality act. Finally, we look at the civil code of the Old Testament versus our New Covenant direction, and explain why nothing is neutral and our manmade laws do need to be based on some worldview \u2013 the question is which one.\n\nFind a church: https://church.founders.org/\n\n---\n\nTimecodes:\n\n(01:20) Intro\n(02:20) Saddleback Church & SBC\n(11:20) Rick Warren's apology to women\n(22:22) Breaking down bible verses\n(34:40) Ted Cruz's tweet about anti-LGBTQ Uganda law\n(41:15) Old Testament law\n\n---\n\nToday's Sponsors:\n\nA'Del \u2014 go to adelnaturalcosmetics.com and enter promo code "ALLIE" for 25% off your first order!\n\nCarly Jean Los Angeles \u2014\xa0use promo code 'ALLIEB' to save 25% off your first order at CarlyJeanLosAngeles.com!\n\nEpic Will \u2014 be intentional about your family, your values and your wishes.
