“What Should the Women Do?” By Caleb Cole

Teaching from 1 Timothy 2:8–15, Caleb Cole examines Paul’s controversial instructions concerning women, teaching, submission, and authority. By considering the situation in Ephesus and comparing this passage with Paul’s broader support of women in ministry, Caleb explains why biblical order and the voices of both men and women are necessary for the church’s mission.
