As Paul closes his letter to the Romans with personal greetings, one name sparks a major debate: Was Junia an apostle? In this final episode on Romans, Pastor Jon and Pastor Rusten walk through Romans 16 and tackle the question of women in ministry. They discuss Junia’s identity, the meaning of “outstanding among the apostles,” the clear teaching of 1 Timothy 2 on creation order, and why the office of elder is reserved for qualified men. Along the way, they address the value of distinct male and female roles in the home and church, and the dangers of interpretive gymnastics.
