    Can Women Serve in Leadership in the Church? | Dr. Bob Utley

    Send us Fan Mail For centuries, Christians have debated the role of women in church leadership. Can women serve in leadership in the church? What does the Bible actually say? In this special episode of HER Podcast, Pat Domangue sits down with internationally respected Bible scholar, pastor, and retired professor of hermeneutics Dr. Bob Utley to discuss one of the most debated questions in the church today: the role of women in church leadership and ministry. Drawing from decades of biblical study, pastoral ministry, and contextual interpretation of Scripture, Dr. Utley addresses difficult passages such as 1 Corinthians 14, 1 Timothy 2, Ephesians 5, Romans 16, and the examples of Phoebe, Junia, Deborah, Miriam, and other women God used throughout Scripture. Pat also shares her personal journey of being called into ministry, earning seminary degrees while raising three daughters, and navigating the challenges many women face while trying to faithfully obey God's calling. Whether you are a woman called by God, a ministry leader, a pastor, or someone seeking to understand what the Bible says about women in church leadership, this conversation will encourage you to think deeply, study Scripture carefully, and follow God's leading with humility.   In This Episode We Discuss Questions Like: ✔ Can women serve in leadership in the church? ✔ What does the Bible say about women in ministry? ✔ Can women teach the Bible and serve in church leadership? ✔ What does "women keep silent" really mean in 1 Corinthians 14? ✔ How do we know when a biblical command is cultural or universal? ✔ How should Christians interpret difficult passages such as 1 Corinthians 14, 1 Timothy 2, and Ephesians 5? ✔ What do Phoebe, Junia, Deborah, Miriam, and other women in Scripture teach us about leadership and ministry? ✔ Were there women deacons in the early church? ✔ What is hermeneutics and why does it matter when studying controversial topics? ✔ How can church tradition and denominational perspectives influence biblical interpretation? ✔ What encouragement does Dr. Bob Utley offer to women seeking to faithfully follow God's calling?      Resources Mentioned in This Episode Dr. Bob Utley ·  About Dr. Bob Utley ·  Free Bible Commentary Website Special Topics on Women in Ministry and Church Leadership Women in the BibleWomen in MinistryWomen Keep SilentWomen Ministersonfire-ministries.org

    Biblical Dream Interpretation and Discerning God's Voice with Margaux Nelson

    Send us Fan Mail Can God speak to His people through dreams today? In this episode of HER Podcast, Pat Domangue and Margaux Nelson discuss biblical dream interpretation and discerning God’s voice through dreams while remaining grounded in the truth of Scripture. Many Christians feel uncertain about dreams because of concerns that dream interpretation is connected to New Age practices in today’s culture. Yet throughout the Bible, God spoke to His people through dreams—using them to guide, warn, prepare, and encourage. From Joseph in Genesis to Daniel and even the dreams surrounding the birth of Jesus, dream interpretation in the Bible reveals how God has used dreams to communicate His purposes to His people. So how can believers remain spiritually sensitive while also practicing biblical discernment? In this conversation, Pat and Margaux explore what Scripture says about dreams, how the Holy Spirit speaks to believers today, and how to test what we hear so that we remain firmly rooted in God’s Word. In this episode, you’ll discover: • What the Bible says about dream interpretation • How to discern whether a dream may be from God • Guardrails for avoiding deception while remaining open to the Holy Spirit • The importance of balancing Spirit and truth in the Christian life • Why God sometimes speaks through dreams and prophetic impressions • Practical steps for paying attention to what God may be saying If you’ve ever wondered whether God might be speaking to you through dreams, this conversation will encourage you to seek Him with both faith and biblical wisdom.

    Finding Joy When Suffering Doesn’t End (with Lara Silverman)

    Send us Fan Mail A fire-tested faith, true identity, and hope beyond healing What do you do when suffering lingers… prayers seem unanswered… and the life you planned disappears? In this powerful and honest episode of HER Podcast, Pat Domangue sits down with Lara Silverman, Christian author and former federal prosecutor, to talk about faith that is forged—not shattered—in the fire of suffering. After developing a rare neurological illness that left her bedridden for years, Lara lost not only her legal career, but later her husband after just one year of marriage. In what she describes as a Job-like season, Lara wrestled deeply with God—asking hard questions about identity, healing, suffering, and trust. Yet in the midst of loss, God met her with unexpected joy, deep spiritual healing, and a renewed understanding of what it means to find identity in Christ alone. In this conversation, you’ll hear: Why suffering doesn’t mean God has withdrawn His loveHow to wrestle honestly with God without losing your faithWhat it means to find joy without physical healingHow identity is refined when careers, health, and dreams are stripped awayWhy eternity reframes suffering in powerful waysHow God works “grief to glory” in ways we may not fully understand Lara also shares the heart behind her memoir Singing Through Fire, a testimony of joy, faith, and surrender forged through prolonged suffering—and why God never wastes a single moment of our pain. If you’re walking through a season of chronic illness, grief, loss, or unanswered prayer, this episode offers biblical truth, deep encouragement, and hope that doesn’t depend on circumstances changing. 🎧 Listen in and be reminded: God is still present, still faithful, and still working—even when suffering doesn’t end. 📘 Featured Resource from This Episode  👉 Singing Through Fire by Lara Silverman (available on Amazon) A raw and hope-filled memoir about finding joy, faith, and purpose in prolonged suffering.

    How A Feeling Of "Unloved" Promotes The Wrong Identity Of "Unlovable"

    Send us Fan Mail Feeling unloved or unlovable? Explore healing, identity, and the woman with the issue of blood in this powerful HER Podcast conversation. In this week’s episode of the HER Podcast, we continue our My True Identity series with a powerful and relatable conversation about one of the most common—yet hidden—identity struggles women face: feeling unloved or unlovable. Pat is joined by licensed professional counselor and marriage & family therapist Taylor Draughn, who brings both professional insight and biblical wisdom into this tender topic. Together, they explore: ·      The woman with the issue of blood (Mark 5) — how 12 years of isolation, rejection, and suffering shaped her identity… and how one faith-filled moment with Jesus transformed everything. Why isolation intensifies the feeling of being unlovableHow discouragement, repeated disappointments, and unresolved issues distort identityWhy anger, shame, and emotional “baggage” are often symptoms—not the root issueHow forgiveness becomes a pathway to healing, not a one-time eventWhat Scripture says about God’s deep, unwavering love (Ephesians 3:17–19; 1 John 3:1)Practical steps to begin healing, shift untrue beliefs, and embrace your true identity in ChristThis episode is for the woman who feels unloved and sometimes feels she is hard to love. She wonders if things will ever change in her life.   Be encouraged—Jesus sees your issues, knows your story, and calls you “Daughter.” Just like the woman in Mark 5, He invites you into healing, wholeness, and identity rooted in His love.
