By Renée Sproles | Bio

Renée Webb Sproles is from Murfreesboro, TN, where she directed The School of Christian Thought for five years at North Boulevard Church. She is a 15-year homeschool veteran. She is also a founder and co-director of the Discipleship Tutorial in Murfreesboro, where she has taught government, economics, personal finance, health, study skills, English grammar, and writing. She is the mother of two grown children, Houston and Emma, who is married to Thomas Goodwyn. With her husband, David, Renée has co-taught parenting classes for 20 years and currently teaches a marriage and family class of 100 students each week. Renée is the author of On Gender: What the Bible Says about Men and Women (Renew, 2019).

In the 4th part of Male & Female: A Biblical Look at Gender, Bobby and Renée tackle key passages that point to qualified men leading in the local church.

They look at key passages like 1 Corinthians 11:3-5, 11:7-10, 14:29-37, and 1 Timothy 2:8-15.

Bobby and Renée describe how in the ancient world, people participated in pagan worship in unisex fashions.

They discuss the often-debated authority of prophesying compared to teaching.

Bobby shows how the Corinthian cultural context surrounding some of these key passages helps us interpret our understanding of them. Bobby also describes the specific role of elders in the local church.
