Dr. Beth Allison Barr on Pastor's Wives and How the SBC Restricted Women Preachers in the 1980s

Hey friend! I just had such an eye-opening chat with historian Dr. Beth Allison Barr about the complex history of the pastor's wife role. As a pastor's wife herself, Beth pulled back the curtain on expectations often placed on women serving churches without recognition. From playing piano to printing bulletins unpaid, many sacrifice their calling. Beth revealed research showing how women's ministry roles shifted radically in the 1980s within evangelicalism, as male leaders pushed to limit female leadership. It's a must-listen for anyone wanting to understand historical influences on biblical womanhood ideals. Key takeaways include: - How pastors' wives carry invisible burdens serving their churches - The little-known history of accepted women preachers in the early 1900s SBC - How narrow views of submission evolved to restrict women's gifts - A vision for inclusive leadership embracing diverse ministry callings This conversation brought up a lot of feelings for me about gifts given up and voices silenced. If you feel the same, don't stay silent. This is an invitation for the church to welcome the full participation of women following their God-given dreams.
