Female pastors in the Bible? What this pastor gets wrong

Pastor Kody Woodard has gone viral for claiming the Bible supports female pastors, but BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey disagrees, saying he’s building his argument on passages that don’t support the claim.

“For the record, I do believe that women can be pastors. And the reason I believe that is because Scripture shows me that,” Woodard said in a video on Instagram.

“I study the Scriptures, and I actually see that Apollos, who Paul compares himself to later, was actually taught by a woman. Read Acts 18. In Acts 21, four unmarried women prophesy in church. In Colossians, Nympha was the pastor of the church, and they met in her house. Chloe, same thing in first Corinthians 1. Romans 16, 1 and 2. Phoebe is a deacon.
