Congrats to @Seth_Troutt on the release of his book, Authentic Masculinity!
This book is excellent. Especially helpful for young men that need a robust, biblical vision of what it means to be a man.

Why Women Shouldn’t Lead Musical Worship in the Local Church
Some have asked about my post below, so I want to give several reasons why I think it is, at best, unwise for women to lead singing in the main worship gathering of a local church. Let me say clearly: I do not think female musical leaders are a gateway to feminism in every case. Many—if not most—of my friends in ministry would disagree with me on whether or not women should lead singing. I also personally know plenty of women who regularly lead singing in church contexts who are beautifully committed to biblical femininity and complementarianism.
Nevertheless, here are my reasons.
1. The term “Worship Leader” and its function signal spiritual authority.
The term “worship leader” (which I don't use) in most churches is strongly associated with spiritual authority. There is a reason many churches call the person who leads singing a “worship pastor.” In practice, this role often functions as a de facto teaching position. Worship leaders frequently offer exhortations before, during, and after songs. Leading corporate singing is inherently pedagogical. The title itself contains the word leader. This person is leading the gathered church—both men and women. I believe this grates against the spirit of 1 Timothy 2 and Paul’s instruction in 1 Corinthians 14:33–35. The dominant posture for women in public worship is submission. Conversely, the worship leader, by definition, leads.
2. “Female Worship Leaders” reinforce feminized worship.
Female “worship leaders” often reinforce a feminized culture of worship, which has had a damaging effect in many churches, especially in evangelical contexts. One of the main reasons men do not sing in church is because much of Christian music in the main is so deeply feminize. Female leadership of songs often suppresses male participation, whereas male leadership rarely suppresses female participation. There appears to be a creation-order asymmetry here that is both observable and natural. Wives are more likely to sing when their husbands sing, and children are more likely to sing when their fathers sing. The reverse is less often the case. If churches want robust congregational singing, they must first prioritize the men's voices.
3. “Female Worship Leaders” sing in a higher vocal range, suppressing male voices.
This is an objective point. In most cases, if a woman is leading a song, it needs to be transposed two to four whole notes higher. It’s already culturally difficult to get men to sing. This only makes it harder.
I can add more, but these are just a few reasons why I think it's unwise for complementarian churches to have women lead congregational singing.

@conservmillen Allie - sincerely - let me just tell you from personal experience - this is the kind of excuse someone makes for a leader when they are in a cult.
