In this honest and heartfelt conversation, Pastor Josh hosts his wife Lauren and staff member Cynthia to discuss a topic that often sparks debate in the church: women in ministry.

Drawing from their own church backgrounds, personal experiences, and deep respect for scripture, they explore the biblical roles of women in leadership, the importance of God's order, and how Church on the Rock navigates the tension between empowerment and alignment with the Word.

With vulnerability and conviction, they unpack scriptures, historical context, and real-life examples—affirming that while women at COTR teach, lead, and communicate the gospel, the office of pastor is reserved for men.

This is part one of a two-part conversation intended to both clarify their church’s stance and encourage the wider body of Christ.
