I've been asked, more than once, about my role in the ministry with respect to women ministers. For which, I don't have an official stance or even a response that I would deem as the end all to this argument. I remember asking God about this as well. I actually took several years to be very sure this is what he wanted and not something I wanted for myself. I'm excited to say that God still does hear and answer prayer. I am honored to be called into this role.
However, there are those who are still not convinced and I respect that. So for you who don't believe that woman should preach, by all means, listen to a man preach. I would rather you hear and accept salvation because you heard it from a man whose position as a preacher you could accept than to go to hell because you could not accept the same message by a woman preacher.
As for me, I have the faith that God will make room, but even if he doesn't "I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need and in addition to that "naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither...blessed be the name of the LORD" anyway. Besides, I think, the woods would be very quiet if only the male birds were allowed to sing.
