Deborah was a judge and a fine one at that. But I'd have to agree with most here that the position of Commander in Chief should be run by a man with a good woman by their side.
Will that work? God knows that answer not you or me. Personally I would actually prefer a Faithful man with a praying wife. Secret Service is not fully equipped to protect all aspects of the leader taking on the enemy at that level. However I do feel it is important to point out and keep pointing out that God will rise up what leader we need in the moment if our necessity. He know what we don’t and can’t. If he calls a woman it is for a reason.Here is my humble opinion on this topic.
Men and women lead differently, and the body of Christ needs both. Men may bring decisive action, but women often bring the relational strength that keeps movements alive when the fire burns hottest. God never designed His people to choose one over the other.
Look at Scripture: Deborah judged Israel when no man would stand. Esther risked her life to deliver her people. Mary carried the Word made flesh. Lydia built the early church. From Genesis to Revelation, God raises up women to lead when His people need them most. Who are we to overlook the ones He sends?
Our mission as believers is not tidy. It’s not simple. It’s herding big cats through chaos while house cats juggle kittens, hyenas circle, and the tank of catfish must not spill. That is what God has asked us to steward. And it will take more than one kind of leader.
If we leave talent on the table, if we silence the women God has raised up in this very moment, then we are not just overlooking them — we are resisting Him. We can’t and won’t know with out a close walk a great deal of discernment and submission to God. That is true for all of us.

Well sir or mam you certainly have brought up some interesting points and in a thorough way.
Yes I know women have unique gifts that men don't have.
They also have a lot of say in the home, the relationship, the kids, the dog, the cat, the parrot etc.
But who identifies as head of house?
In biblical context.?
