The Bible Doesn’t Allow for Women Pastors—Here’s Why.
When I became a Christian in 2013, my whole life changed, as it should. Along with major life changes came vigorous study of all things theology.

Heaven Requires Perfection
Humans strive for perfection. We chase the winds of infallibility only to fall short again and again.
