In the debut episode of ‘My Pastor Said’, Pastor Adeyese Omole took listeners on a spiritual excavation, addressing divine purpose and women’s roles in ministry. Discussing controversial scriptures, Pastor Omole emphasized unity within the body of Christ and the need for contextual biblical interpretation.

The conversation voyaged through Pastor Omole’s spiritual inception at age 15, touching upon the various hats worn by pastors – from tending to the congregation’s needs to administrative responsibilities. Pastor Omole shared a profound personal challenge – learning to ask for help – revealing the struggles that even those in ministry face.

With authenticity, Pastor Omole opened up about his calling to minister to women, a purpose he initially resisted. Upon embracing his calling, he experienced an increase in anointing and understanding. The candid exchange further explored into how individuals can decipher God’s calling, stressing the importance of being receptive to God’s communication.

I posed the formidable question about women as pastors and preachers within the church, referencing 1 Timothy 2:12. Pastor Omole called for a framework and methodology in scriptural interpretation, asserting that the Holy Spirit guides understanding, and highlighting biblical figures like Priscilla as early church leaders.

Reflecting upon his life and ministry, Pastor Omole recalled the profound and emotional moment when he learned of his second daughter’s arrival, confronting cultural biases and his own initial disappointment. This heartening miracle pivoted his perspective, aligning it with his broader calling of ministering to women and embracing blessings in all forms. With vulnerability and wisdom, Pastor Omole and I explored the intricate dynamics of spiritual duties and gender roles within the church, setting an invigorating example for listeners to foster an open heart to divine purpose and scriptural truth.
