I am finding that I enjoy watching these videos. And I get so much out of them. This YouTube channel is such a blessing.

I’m 16 and have never heard these passages in the Bible described quite in this way! This is so amazing thank you🥺

[teachertiah]

I really appreciate this topic! It reaffirms for me that my purpose is to teach God's Holy Word and to present Him as a Father who wants a relationship with His children.

[tamichyn]

We need more teachings on this topic. I’m really need to go into my research and study because soo many wants to say we’re less than.

[davidanddaniellerosales]

That was part of the curse!! I’m so excited you brought that up. The Lord revealed that to me when I became pregnant. He told me that I was FREE from that through what Jesus did for me. I was free to have a pain free comfortable pregnancy. And free to have a loving mutual relationship with my husband.

Lisa’s explanation of these verses...🤯🙌❤️ I watched and rewatched and I’m writing that in my Bible!!! SO GOOD! Thank you Lisa!!

[JillianSmall_ChildofGod]

Waw that was encouraging. I did not even realize Paul said those things about all those women. I need to feed on scripture more.

Great video. In your previous video, I'd commented that I used to think God doesn't like women very much. This was a great explanation of the scripture. I'm looking forward to experiencing more of God

[simonesalmon]

Am grateful for this it opens up my eyes more,

[branchoftheremnantofisrael]

All through the Bible women lead Taught and established God’s will

[JennyLynnMinistries]

We need more teaching on this topic in the church. This Is something I have always struggled with myself.

Women exercising spiritual authority over men in church is what the Bible teaches against.
Ofcourse women can teach/preach, but God's design is for the man to be the spiritual head. It's a role he established from the beginning Adam. Love you ladies🙂

[davidanddaniellerosales]

Lisa’s bible is so wonderful! Just filled with notes!!!

[Mrs_Guac_and_Glock]

Women are not to have spiritual authority over men. We shouldn't see this as being "less than" or inferior to men. We have different roles and both are equally valuable.

[verandahollinshed]

Thank you Lord for this word and confirmation.❤❤ love those who know the word and teach it correctly not lead us astray.

I heard a male pastor preach for women to not preach in church to both men and women because women were the main reason for the fall in the first place and women need to stay in submission under a man's teaching. Women were only to teach in circles where there are other women only.

It didnt sit right with me and it made me feel very depressed rather than encouraged, edified or uplifted in any way. Im not keen on the idea of being in a ministry to preach in church settings unless calls me to do tgat, but for whatever reason when he preached that, it hurt my spirit. So after hearing you ladies speak, you have set me free. The rest of my day was so much better because the talk lifted a burden i didnt realize i was carrying and also to know that God cares and thinks i am very significant to him, has made me feel free. Praise God for you ladies. Thank you.

Wow!! Amen 🙏 thank you! I have still been under confusion about these verses myself. I also was could not understand why God would have put me in circumstances that I've had no choice but to become incredibly strong and to use my voice and be assertive as well as learn so much about Christ who is the Word.

Thank you for this and the reminder of the other strong women. There were a few I haven't learned about yet. I feel so much more free to be myself and to go and learn about the women you mentioned. Praise God 💖

I am a Bible Study Student and am falling in love day by day with learning the right way to learn understand and apply Gods word to my life. So in my hunger I went searching for schools to teach me more and guess what I found?! Most schools are for men! Because “women aren’t supposed to teach/preach Gods word” This is a catch 22! If Biblical Seminary Schools would open their doors to women then we CAN understand properly. How can women teach if we aren’t first taught? This is a huge frustration of mine! It’s a cycle! I hope and pray that we be fully equipped to teach and to be able to rightly divide the Word of God! Because there are ALOT of women I know who desire to understand live and teach God’s word but feel unworthy and unequipped because of misunderstanding those Scriptures that say we aren’t to teach/preach within the church! I will continue to pray and ask God for help for the body of Christ in this area and to trust in Him for complete guidance and understanding and direction . 🤦🏾‍♀️😔✝️

Titus 2:4-5
King James Version
4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,

5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

The only time it tells a woman to teach is over younger women and gives us the specific topics we need to be teaching.

This topic needs to be talked about more. My son left my church when a female pastor got up to preach. We debate about it all the time.
