Women Are Free to Lead! Recently, Dr. Joseph Dutko shared at a PAOC conference on the importance of women in leadership. Dr. Dutko is a strong advocate for women in ministry and has written extensively on the subject. What we appreciate about his work is that he brings both thoughtful biblical insight and a deeply practical perspective to the conversation. We’ve gathered a few resources for you to explore, including a recording of his workshop, Half the Church, his book, The Gender Paradox, and several articles, and Dr. Dutko has also generously offered a coupon code for those interested in purchasing his book. We believe the conversation around women in leadership is not simply a “women’s issue”—it’s a community issue. When women are given the freedom to use their gifts and lead, the whole Church benefits. We’re encouraged to see more men speaking clearly and boldly on this subject, and we're grateful for voices like Dr. Dutko's who are helping move the conversation forward.
