Morgan, that is an incredibly beautiful story. What remarkable insights! Thank you for being so candid and truthful. I think, deep in our hearts, as we mature in Christ, we know what "mutual submission" and "leaders are servants first" means. Still, we rarely see it in action. "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." Your first paragraph about empowering every member of the body speaks to that better than anything I've ever read. At the same time, even women who have a strong sense of their own "identity in Christ", whose spouses and brothers in Christ recognize their gifts, can feel like they must hold back so as not to offend those who hold the patriarchal view on the role of women in the church. I wish I could clone you and give every sister a Morgan for a best friend. :-)
