Discussion on Women as Pastors

Allie Beth Stuckey, a host on Blaze TV, recently reflected on a recurring question posed by the late Charlie Kirk during their interviews. This particular question often ignites strong opinions within Christian circles.

Stuckey recalls, “For some reason, every time I interviewed Charlie Kirk, he loved to ask this question, because he knew what I was going to say, but he loved, I think, as a Christian woman, to answer it.”

The question is: “Can women also be pastors?”

Her succinct answer is, “No. No.” She references 1 Timothy 2:12-14 to support her stance.

The scripture states, “I will not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man; rather, she should be silent. For first Adam was formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.”

Stuckey interprets this as emphasizing a divinely established order. “Every time you see someone returning to creation in the New Testament, it suggests that it’s rooted in something unchanging,” she notes.

She continues, “For example, when God commands the death penalty for murder in Genesis 9, it traces back to the fact that humans are made in God’s image. That’s an eternal truth. Similarly, I believe there should be a death penalty for murder.”

Stuckey reiterates that the reference to Adam and Eve unveils something vital. She conveys, “So the question really is, ‘What can women do Biblically?’ Women are encouraged to teach other women and children.”

Though Stuckey has publicly expressed her views, she also emphasizes, “Ability and calling are not the same thing.”

“Of course I can talk. Of course I can explain things. I enjoy communicating, and I love the Word of God. I like breaking things down. But I don’t feel called to be a pastor or preach from a church pulpit,” she clarifies.

“That’s not my role. That’s not a woman’s role,” she adds.
