Romans 12:6-8 — teaching and leading are listed as spiritual gifts alongside gifts women clearly have
Mike examines the gifts list in Romans 12 to determine whether women can have teaching and leadership gifts.
Romans 12:6-8 lists: prophecy (women have), service (women have), teaching, exhortation, giving (women have), leading, and acts of mercy (women have). The Greek word for 'leads' means leadership (like the captain of a ship) and lexicons and translations agree it means leadership in this context. Women have every other gift on the list — it would be arbitrary to exclude them from teaching and leading.
