On this episode of The Steve Marston Show, Steve returns after a few days away and dives headfirst into one of the most controversial conversations in modern Christianity: women pastors and biblical leadership roles in the church. Prompted by recent comments from Albert Mohler and responses from Beth Moore, Steve explores what Scripture says in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1 about pastoral qualifications, why the debate continues to divide believers, and whether discussing sermons on a church podcast crosses a biblical line.

Steve also shares why he believes this issue is often misunderstood, discusses the difference between teaching and pastoral authority, and opens the phones and livestream comments for listeners to weigh in.

Later in the show, Focus on the Family’s Bob DeMoss joins Steve to talk about the Family250 celebration, Adventures in Odyssey, and the powerful storytelling behind “The Legend of Squanto.” They discuss how faith-based audio dramas continue to shape families and culture in a screen-saturated world, plus the importance of preserving America’s spiritual heritage for the next generation.

The episode also includes:

• Reflections on the passing of NASCAR driver Kyle Busch and his faith journey
• Kevin James’ testimony about fasting and prayer for his daughter
• Updates on Mel Gibson’s upcoming Passion of the Christ sequel
• The “Faith Between Your Ears” Bible memory verse of the week
• A hilarious dad joke and heartwarming kindergarten graduation video

Faith, culture, Scripture, family, and encouragement — all packed into one unique episode of The Steve Marston Show.
