Luke 9:1-5 refutes host-as-leader claim: apostles stayed in strangers' homes

Women Leaders in the New Testament: Women in Ministry part 4 00:15:51 – 00:17:23

Mike tests the host-as-leader claim against the biblical text.

In Luke 9, Jesus sends out the Twelve and tells them to stay in whatever house they enter. Under the host-as-leader theory, these total strangers who hosted the apostles would become leaders of the apostles, which is absurd. The hosts were just hosts, not leaders of the group.
