Belleville assigns Nympha the title 'overseer' based on hosting; Mike challenges the logic

Women Leaders in the New Testament: Women in Ministry part 4 00:08:15 – 00:09:45

Mike examines how Belleville gets from 'church in her house' to 'overseer.'

Belleville claims that because the church met in Nympha's house, most commentators correctly conclude she held some sort of leadership role. Mike notes 'some sort of leadership role' is incredibly vague -- even a greeter has some sort of leadership role. He questions the 'most commentators' claim and notes Belleville's footnote references only one commentator.
