💁🏻 Concept: Egalitarianism
Egalitarianism holds that all roles and functions in the church are equally available to men and women. This view emphasizes that in Christ, there is neither male nor female, and that all believers are empowered by the Holy Spirit to serve God without gender distinctions. Egalitarianism stands in contrast to complementarianism, which teaches distinct roles for men and women within the church and family.

My View: 
Men and women are equally created in God’s image and share in the blessings of salvation (Genesis 1:27; Galatians 3:28). Both are called to serve God and use their gifts for the building up of His church (1 Corinthians 12:4-7). However, Scripture also teaches that God has designed distinct roles within the home and the church (1 Timothy 2:12-14; Ephesians 5:22-25). While men are called to leadership in the church as pastors and elders, women play an essential role in ministry—teaching, discipling, serving, and advancing the mission of the gospel (Titus 2:3-5; Romans 16:1-7). Rather than diminishing value, these distinct roles reflect God’s wisdom and bring order and strength to the church.

📖 Bible Readings: Luke 8:1-3
(Acts 2:17-18; Romans 16:1-7; 1 Corinthians 12:4-7; Ephesians 4:11-13; Galatians 3:28; Romans 16:1-7; Philippians 4:3)

🎙Discussion:
In what ways do men and women compete, how should they complement each other? 

🙏🏼 Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for creating both men and women in Your image and calling us to serve in Your Kingdom. Help me to recognize the value and gifts You have given to each person, affirming their role in building up the church. Teach us to complement rather than compete, working together in unity and love. May we encourage and equip one another to serve with joy, using our unique strengths for Your glory. Strengthen Your church, Lord, and guide us in faithfulness as we proclaim the gospel to the world. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
