I’m so sorry that you were hurt by a woman’s misguided comment. You are a passionate and gifted leader! Her opinion prevented others (men & women) from gleaning your wisdom! Which is a shame!
I love seeing how Jesus and God used women in both the Old and New Testament! I’m grateful that some that have previously held patriarchal views (including myself) are finding context in the scriptures to debunk this mindset and bring equality to the forefront.
Thank you so much, Michelle! You're right. Initially, I was hurt, but in hindsight, I'm glad she said it out loud because it motivated me (in a BIG way) to study that aspect of women's exclusion from full inclusion in leadership. What she said felt wrong, but I needed to be spurred on to, as you say, "debunk" such a common misconception--and to be fair, emotions are only one false roadblock on the path to equality. One down, ???? to go! :)
