Thanks for your input. I agree that I am commanded to submit to my husband as unto the Lord and I gladly do so. Men are to be the spiritual leaders of their family but, let's face it, some men have not made the effort to learn the Scriptures and the tenets of the common faith. They STILL are the head. My husband often asks me about Biblical things because of my education but I would never lord it over or disrespect him because of it. We have a wonderful loving relationship that has lasted so far for 30+ years. I am so blessed.

I have never felt called to be a pastor nor would I join a church where a woman is the pastor. It is a position of authority. There are many, many opportunities for us to serve the Lord and all God asks of us is faithfulness to Him.

I agree....

Also it’s not unusual in the mission field when there isn’t a male Pastor on site a woman will assume that position until a replacement can be acquired.

The Lord always uses the willing and available to carry out his will....saved as well as unsaved....male or female.... He will use whoever can get the work done.
