 "Women
in Ministry: Silenced or Set Free?" as a whole
is a very well produced and presented multi-media
teaching series on the legitimacy and freedom of
women to be in any ministry that God should call
them to. The instructor is knowledgeable, very
presentable, and articulate. The series presents
serious biblical exegesis and research on a number
of texts that are often quoted as evidence that
women's roles and opportunities in ministry are
limited. Taken all together I find this series
to be very relevant and helpful and therefore
cannot be passed off lightly....This series can go
a long way to giving women the freedom to pursue
ministry as God calls them and to answer the
concern and questions of others.
I can
recommend MM Outreach ministries and would be
privileged to do so.

In
a world where many secular societies have seen the
equality and value of women in leadership roles,
too often religions have been slow to make the same
transition. Biblically, Christ "tore down the
middle wall of partition" that separated men and
women, yet still, many Christian denominations and
organizations maintain an error-filled perspective
concerning women in ministry. As "Women in Ministry
Silenced or Set Free?" clearly exposes the truth of
God's word, each individual who wants balanced
instruction in this vital area of teaching will
discover that God's word is not vague nor is it
indifferent about the role of women and their
God-given ministries.
Those
who have felt confused or restrained will find
instead great freedom and a sound stance that
upholds truth and extends endorsement for all women
who choose to serve Christ in leadership and
teaching roles.
...(the)
series was well-prepared and with good
documentation! Well done!

The
story of creation tells us that both man and woman
were made in the image of God. All people are given
intrinsic value in the miraculous act of creation,
and all people are loved passionately by God,
regardless of gender, race, age, education,
economics, etc. However, though men and women are
equal in value and purpose in God’s eyes,
there are passages in the Bible that raise the
question of whether or not God limits the roles
that are available to women in a local church
family. Women in Ministry: Silenced or Set Free
examines this question in a thoughtful and
persuasive way. Through clear, concise teaching and
multimedia, this series provides an excellent
presentation of the arguments in favor of a
woman’s freedom to serve in all roles of
Christian leadership according to God’s
leading. Though I disagree with the theological
conclusions of this series at several points, I
found the series very helpful in understanding the
issues involved from a different perspective.
Without a doubt, the presentation is offered with
tremendous respect, integrity, and grace.

Women
In Ministry is a well-researched, well-presented
series on the role of women in the church today.
Cheryl Schatz has done her homework in a very
thorough and thought-provoking manner. She brings
to our attention the pertinent scriptural teaching
that helps us see the freedom women are given by
the Lord for leadership in the church and the
exercise of their God-given spiritual gifts.
The
material is presented in an engaging format. From
the very beginning, the viewer is drawn in with
excellent graphics and video clips. Cheryl is a
gifted Bible teacher.
This
series is a must-see for those who seriously want
to know what the Bible teaches on the role of women
in the church today.

November
16, 2006: The series (Women in Ministry Silenced or
Set Free?) was researched, written and presented by
Cheryl Schatz through MacGregor Ministries, "A
Christian outreach to those involved in Cult
Groups." I watched the entire series a few weeks
ago and was very impressed. The high quality of the
research that went into this 3.5 hour presentation
is evident. The presentations are filled with
visuals and the graphics draw you into the
discussion. Schatz does a great job of breaking
down and explaining often complex ideas in ways
that most people can grasp.
The
series is clearly targeted to people who are
struggling with these issues from a fundamentalist
or conservative Evangelical context. The
presentations include audio recordings from people
like John MacArthur, Bruce Ware, John Piper and
others from the Council on Biblical Manhood and
Womanhood. Schatz goes out of her way to be
affirming of these leaders and is about as
nonbelligerent as one can be when challenging
another's teaching.
I
suspect this series will be highly effective for
the targeted audience. I am not sure how the series
would be received by unchurched folks or people
coming to the issues from outside the conservative
Evangelical world. I think it would be a little
like listening in on someone else's conversation
but the actual biblical research would still be
very helpful.
Every
time I read or listen to someone's research about
these topics it seems I learn something new. I
found Schatz's presentation 1 Cor. 11 to be very
helpful in setting the cultural context. The 1 Tim.
2 presentation introduced the possibility that
verses 11-12 may have been addressed to a specific
woman engaged in false teaching, which is something
I have not previously heard postulated. I will have
to investigate that one more. Other than that, most
of what was presented fits with the reading and
learning I have been doing over the
years.
If
your context is men and women struggling with the
teachings of groups like the Council on Biblical
Manhood and Womanhood then I would highly recommend
this series.

"Women
in Ministry: Silenced or Set Free?" This DVD set is
must have, and I thank God for Keith and Lorri
MacGregor of MacGregor Ministries for putting out
this DVD set. It's a very well produced and
presented multi-media teaching series done by
Cheryl Schatz on the legitimacy and freedom of
women to be in "any ministry" that God should call
them to. The instructor, Cheryl Schatz on the DVD
is very knowledgeable, coming from a Hebraic
Perspective. She is very articulate in her
wonderful presentation of the hard subject. The
series presents serious biblical exegesis and her
research on a number of texts that are often quoted
as "evidence" that women's roles and opportunities
in ministry are limited. Taken all together we
found this series to be very relevant for today and
therefore highly recommend it to all. This series
will go a long way in giving women the biblical
freedom in the ministry God has called them to.

About
"Women in Ministry Silenced or Set
Free?"
Does
God have a law that silences women in the church?
Would God forbid all Christian women from teaching
men in the body of Christ? Some Pastors answer
"yes" to these questions and they say that
scripture supports these restrictive rules. The
passages that they point to in order to teach these
prohibitions are also the passages that have been
the hardest to interpret throughout church history.
These passages on the surface appear to contradict
other clear bible passages that free women to serve
without restrictions. Because of these apparent
contradictions many Christians have ignored these
hard passages and chosen to stick to only the
scriptures which are much easier to understand. But
is this right? Can we just ignore passages of
scripture because we don't like them or because
they are difficult to understand? This presentation
will deal with each of these hard passages of
scripture on the women's issue in order to help us
understand God's intended meaning.
"Women
in Ministry Silenced or Set Free?" is a 4 DVD set
covering 7 sections suitable for bible study groups
or personal study. This unique DVD set is
fast-paced and visually entertaining. Each disputed
scripture is dealt with thoroughly and decisively
to bring the viewer to an understanding of
scripture which connects all relevant scripture
together without contradiction.
This
4 DVD package includes 3.5 hours of teaching. A
teacher's manual and a student's handbook are being
developed for this DVD set and will be available
shortly.
