Excerpts from the book — The Woman Question by Caleb Eleojo So here's the truth, everything God designed carries the principle of sustainability, growth, and fruitfulness. In creation, every living thing was made to produce — to multiply, to add value, to bring something to the table. So a woman’s place cannot be passive. Her design, like man’s, is productive. She is meant to add — not only through childbearing, but through thought, creativity, and purpose. And this is where many men have failed to grow. Most are not raised to marry women who mirror their strengths. They’re taught to marry someone “less” — less ambitious, less educated, less capable — because that imbalance guarantees their dominance in the household. But this distortion cripples marriage itself because instead of two whole people forming a partnership, marriage becomes a stage where one must dim their light so the other can shine brighter. That was never God’s vision. So marriage, at its best, is not a hierarchy but a partnership — a union where two individuals, each strong in their own right, come together to multiply strength. A man doesn’t lose relevance because his wife is accomplished; rather he gains a partner who expands their collective influence. And a woman doesn’t diminish when she marries; she brings the full weight of her identity into the union. But when we fail to see women beyond marriage, society suffers. We lose innovation, leadership, and brilliance that could have transformed entire systems. And by teaching girls that their highest calling is to become wives, we waste decades of creativity and silence voices that could change the world. So here’s the truth; a woman’s place in marriage is earned before marriage — through her independence, growth, and maturity. Whatever she builds as a provider and priest of her own life, she carries into her marriage. Therefore, marriage, then, is not the destination — it’s the stage where everything she has built finds expression. Get your copy of this book through the LINK-IN-BIO.

— Can A Woman, Pastor A Church || excerpts from the book - “The Woman Question” 1 Timothy 2:12 (NLT) || “I do not let women teach men or have authority over them. Let them listen quietly”. Now this isn’t a blanket ban on women teaching since elsewhere Paul commends women like Priscilla, Phoebe, and Junia. So Paul here is addressing a particular abuse in Ephesus — how women influenced by false doctrines were trying to dominate the men because they believed in certain false teachings that Eve was superior to Adam. And the Greek word (authentein), as translated, assumes that authority carries a domineering, usurping, or controlling sense. But some people, hardened in heart, might misuse the word “usurp” to argue that women were created to be under the authority of men, and that Paul was merely telling them not to rebel against that authority. However, this interpretation is biased, as it fails to consider a particular command given by Jesus; Matthew 20:25–26 (ESV) || “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. But it shall not be so among you. Instead, whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant.” So the scripture above is saying that there should be no attempt at control or dominance amongst you. Rather, you all (men and women now) should take on the role of servants in how you relate with one another. Serving, not lording it over, with the gifts God has given to you. John 13:12-14 (NLT) || “After washing their feet, he put on his robe again and sat down and asked, “Do you understand what I was doing? [13] You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and you are right, because that’s what I am. [14] And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet.” Jesus, our Lord and Teacher, humbled Himself to take on the role of a servant — and He commanded us to do the same. Therefore, no one, whether man or woman, is meant to exercise control or lordship over others within the body of Christ. This sheds light on the true meaning of the word “usurp”. So Paul was not concerned about women usurping the authority of men; rather, he was concerned about anyone — specifically women in that context — usurping the authority that belongs to Jesus. For Christ has already commanded us to serve one another in humility. To act otherwise, by being domineering or controlling, is to usurp the authority of Jesus Christ Himself. Thus, Paul’s concern was not about women teaching or pastoring, but about a spirit of domination that replaces servanthood with self-exaltation, thereby undermining the authority of Jesus Christ. Now if this challenged what you thought you knew, then the conversation doesn’t end here. • Read the full argument. • Unlearn the myths. • Relearn the truth.
