The Woman at the Well // Ep# 617

In this episode, Pastor Jeffrey Dollar joins us as we will be discussing the woman at the well, this has been a long-awaited topic for some time now. We planned to have this episode some months back but other shows pushed it back and by the providence of God this show couldn't have waited for better timing. Recently, Ray Comfort at Living Waters has been circulating an article concerning his position in support of women's open-air preaching on the streets. This seems to be a very controversial topic, one that I do not believe should be as controversial as it is. But it is! The argument over whether or not a woman can preach on the street creates a wide range of emotions when being discussed. Some get very angry over the discussion and immediately shut down any conversation that disagrees with their position. Others attempt to use scriptures to justify their position for women's street preaching which I do believe doesn't hold weight when viewed in context. We do believe this is an important topic of discussion that needs to be addressed so this show will be our attempt to address this topic. Was the woman at the well an evangelist? Some seem to think so, but does the Scripture support this idea? Paul lays out in his letter to Timothy that he does not permit a woman to teach or exercise authority over men. Some take this to be confined to the church setting and not outside in the open air or when it comes to evangelism. Does the scripture support this idea?
