Tomorrow, women will teach, counsel, mentor, preach, and shepherd. They will do so with titles like Director because as long as you don’t call her a Pastor it is acceptable for her to operate in her gifts. Make no mistaken, however, she is pastoring. She is a Pastor.

The folks interviewed this week are not Pentecostal in any traditional sense. There are actual historians of the movement & theologians. People need to learn from them. This episode is reductionist at best on that. 2/

COG - Cleveland Sisters: I grieve once again with you today. Men debating and voting on “the woman question” makes me want to rise up as our Pentecostal mothers did before us and proclaim that God Almighty is no fool! Should we ask ask God to forgive us for being women?

I never understood those who wanted to go to the events in Brownsville or Toronto. But there is something deep inside me that wants to go to Asbury. Like the woman with the issue of blood I long to touch the hem of His robe.

Friendly reminder: a woman who speaks with force and passion is not yelling. It is perfectly acceptable for a woman to raise her voice.

This is ONLY a loss to the SBC. Saddleback made the right decision and God will honor this church and her leadership. Thank you @RickWarren and all those who continue to stand for a God who calls women made in his image to lead in his church!

Breaking: Saddleback Church, the megachurch long led by Rick Warren, has been ousted from the Southern Baptist Convention for naming a woman to its pastoral team, against SBC teaching.

@BethMooreLPM I am not a theologian but a scholar who has written on women’s roles and theology. The backlash and spiritual warfare is unrelenting. Grateful for you and @bethallisonbarr and all those who continue to trod this path. The truth will set people free but the casualty list is long.

@mwestramke Because all we need is to take women and make them the reason why men abuse their power. And if we refuse to address abuses of power for what they are then we will have women behaving the same way.

It is a privilege to have contributed to this story on the @AG_USA and our doctrine of women’s leadership. We have much work to do but we are living into our convictions and theology more now than ever before. Women are called, empowered, and sent! Thanks be to God!

This is the Pentecostalism in which I was raised. It is the Pentecostalism I believe in and long for in our days.

My Pentecostal ancestors and the aging Pentecostals who mentored me were mystics. The gifts were for them holy ground phenomena you did not mess with or subvert or take for granted. You never **used** them. Instead, they transfigured *us* in rare moments of sacred manifestation.

I am a puddle. My daughter is in the kitchen singing Oh Holy Night. My mama’s song. She sang it every Christmas Eve. I am in the next room and it just got to me. I miss her so much this time of year.

Women are becoming dechurched. They are walking away. This talk of the Jezebel spirit/feminine power is harming women & it is an abusive trope. @cb_johns

I heard from a former student of mine last night. A 3rd generation Church of God pastor. She has been raised to lead and to minister the word of God from the time she was born. Yesterday, she was made to sit behind a curtain. You read that right. Sit behind a curtain while…1)

We have to say goodbye to this sweet girl today. My theology of pets is not well developed but we are grieving deeply. God sees every sparrow that falls and he knows our Madeleine too. Love you, puppy. You were the best girl.

I then began to list the men in my life who did not and could answer quickly they do not. But my ease of trusting has been diminished since those days.

@sometimesalight As one who grew up on SNAP in a rural context I resonate with thid deeply. My mom shopped at early hours of the morning so our friends wouldn’t know she used food stamps and other assistance. I feel this even now.

Just so we are clear...there is a @POTUS account and a @WhiteHouse account. These are the official accounts of the President. If he needs to tweet to the American public he can. He should never have kept the personal account while in office.

I know these things should no longer shock me but as long as the endorsements from those claiming Christ continue, I will continue to speak up about it. This is idolatrous and anyone who supports this message is engaging in idolatry. It must be rejected.

This tracks the messaging that comes from his rally stages from pastors - that God has chosen Trump to battle the Deep State. This is also a ripoff of the ad Casey Desantis made for Ron’s reelection campaign. This also says Trump goes to church on Sundays when he never goes.
