Thank you for the post and the discussion. I sincerely enjoyed reading every word. I’ve been in church most of my life and have constantly struggled with this. After serving on staff as a “children’s minister” in a large church, I realized that the leadership roles for women were not equal to men in voice or compensation. After being manipulated and lied to repeatedly, I have stepped out of ministry within the church and now serve in community missions and ministry.

I have come to a place where I no longer look to the church for answers. I look to my Savior, my God and my King- Jesus Christ. He has spoken to my heart through his word and his spirit. The post and the comments here are encouraging as each of you seek truth with love.
