Craig #93 “The comps I know focus very much on loving, sacrificial service as the way of exercising leadership and authority.”

If a woman exhibits loving, sacrificial service is she exercising leadership and authority?

As a “soft comp”, Craig, would you (have) concede(d) that if your wife were exhibiting loving, sacrificial service that she was exercising leadership and authority? I am new to this doctrinal debate having not heard the comp/egal terms until a couple of years ago.

I have read and listened to enough sermons/conferences of leading comps to know they would say “no” because men are inherently born to lead and women are born inherently to follow. So, I am trying to get to the bottom of what observable qualitative difference is there between the sexes that makes loving, sacrificial service from a female different than when practiced by a male for whom the same motivations and actions would be leadership and authority.

I know you are searching, too, so I am just typing out loud.
