I don't know this woman and don't know anything about her, but everything I've seen of her in this article tells me that she's wrong right off the bat when she claims the title of Pastor. Paul commanded that a woman wasn't to be in a position of authority over believers like this and, frankly, what I've seen so far tends to reinforce the theory that those who disregard the Bible's teachings about the proper roles of men and women in the Church will also disregard the Bible's teachings on other areas of life, like marriage, divorce, money and accountability.

As the Scripture says, true repentance begins in the house of the Lord. This kind of trash needs to stop, else we destroy our witness and make a mockery of our calling.

What about the woman at the well who Jesus talked to, then she went back and told the whole town?

I would say that was the first woman ‘pastor’.

If we believe that the Gospel Of Jesus can be summed up in these few words,,”He died for our sins,And He is risen” or even more simple,,”He is risen.”
Then I ask you,,Whom did Jesus Himself order to preach that first message?
Wasnt it a women?Told to share the Gospel Of Jesus Christ to the disciples?Who didnt believe her?Christ himself ordered a women to preach His resurrection,Ill believe Jesus and question Paul.Paul and Peter both had to be shown many times that their preconceived believes,and prejudices were wrong and needed corrected.
Since Christ felt a woman could carry His message so do I
