  1. What Does the Bible Say About Single Woman in Ministry? | Ask Dr. Betters

    What Does the Bible Say About Single Woman in Ministry? | Ask Dr. Betters

    In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the following question from Rhonda: "I have heard many people espouse Paul’s teachings about singleness and marriage. I am a single woman who has never married. I am not single by my own choice, but I do have a desire to be married. In serving in ministry, I have found that most churches tend to shun single women in ministry, especially single women who are called into children’s ministry. The trend is to have a husband-and-wife team, believing it is a good balance and representation of godly relationships. Can you explain what the Bible has to say about this?" Dr. Chuck Betters, drawing from his own faith struggles—especially the tragic loss of his sixteen-year-old son, Mark—has assisted countless individuals facing similar challenges over more than five decades of ministry.
