Discussion questions:
1) Have you spent time personally pouring over scripture to come to your personal convictions about women in leadership?
2) What do you perceive to be the weaknesses of your personality/gender and where could they be inhabited by God’s strength?
3) What ways can you identify that male and female leaders speak different languages? How can you better learn the language of the other gender?
