It’s "Filthy Fridays" on Hardcore Christianity, and Brother Mike is tackling one of the most hotly debated, divisive topics in the modern church: women preachers. Are women completely barred from leadership, or has a misunderstanding of ancient languages clouded the true message of the scriptures?

By digging deeply into the original Greek text, Brother Mike breaks down Paul's instructions in a simple, easy-to-understand way. He unpacks key terms like gune (wife), hesychia (quietness), and authenteo (to forcefully usurp authority), proving that the Bible doesn't reject women teaching—it rejects a structure of forced domination. Tune in to discover the biblical precedent for women in ministry, from Old Testament prophecy to the four daughters of Philip, and find out how a balanced, ordered church can unleash the full power and anointing of the Holy Spirit.

Scripture & Highlights Mentioned in This Episode


Learning in Silence: Understanding the context of Paul's command for a wife (gune) to learn in quietness (hesychia) and structural subordination (hypotage) (1 Timothy 2:11).


The Power of the Conjunction: Breaking down the Greek conjunction oude ("nor") to show why teaching and aggressively taking authority (authenteo) over a man must be viewed together (1 Timothy 2:12-14).


Order in the Family & Church: Looking back to the original order established in the garden and how the divine structure mirrors the Trinity (Genesis 3:16; 1 Timothy 2:15).


Chattering vs. Preaching: Explaining how the restriction against speaking in church refers to lalein (continuous side-chattering) which creates confusion during a service (1 Corinthians 14:34-35).


Prophesying Daughters: Finding the biblical precedents for women actively praying, prophesying, and holding spiritual office in the Church (Acts 2:17-18; Acts 21:8-9; 1 Corinthians 11:5).

Hardcore Christianity

Acts 26:18/Mark 7:27: “To open the eyes of Christians to turn them from the deception of seducing spirits to the real truth of Christianity. To turn them from the lies of the devil to the Truth of God, that they might understand that evil spirits have over-run the churches in North America & that Christians can be infected (not possessed) with spirits and need deliverance & that they can receive forgiveness of sins, physical healing & deliverance from demonic disease & mental illness & that they can receive an inheritance among those that are sanctified by Faith in Christ & understand that the Children’s Bread of deliverance is for all saints.”
