Women in Ministry United Podcast

Does your gender influence your leadership? Do you have a place around the table? Does your voice carry the same weight as your colleagues? Being a woman in ministry adds a layer of complexity to our calling and it is something we rarely talk about. In this episode, Jen talks about some of the challenges we face as women in ministry.

One of the concerns and objections that I hear from women who want to create a healthy rhythm or boundary is that they are afraid that people won't understand. In this episode, Jen defines the purpose of healthy communication and gives you two sentences to use in order to help people understand what you're doing and why.

"For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope."

These words from Jeremiah 29:11 are some of the most well known in the Bible. What isn't as well known is that they were spoken to people who had just been carried off into exile and told that they would be there for 70 years.

In today's world, we look for a day without coronavirus. That is the future we want. But God says that we can thrive in the midst of exile and captivity. Be encouraged that you can be fruitful and multiple in the midst of this difficult season.

One of the greatest motivators in any journey is to remember where you used to be. In today's episode, Jen takes you back to the beginning of the Giving Up Normal podcast. It is still a rallying cry for us all to give up the normal ways of leadership that are hurting our souls so that we can lead as the people God has created us to be!

Do you know why you have reached the point where you know things must change? Why do you need to invest time and energy into restoring your soul? In this episode, Jen shares why knowing YOUR WHY is vital to making progress on the journey when things get hard.

Your soul is the "you" that you bring into every role, every job, every relationship, and every activity. When we live as our true selves, we bend our roles, jobs, relationships, and activities to fit the design of our souls, the true essence of who we are and were meant to be. Sadly, however, most of us end us changing who we are in order to fit the role that we play. This is dangerous territory.

In today's episode, Jen discusses the importance of living and leading as your true self, out of a healthy soul. She shares three keys to nourishing your soul and enabling you to be you.

The world is very noisy and chaotic. So many voices surround us and fill our minds. Our own voice can add to the confusion as well. In this mini-episode, Jen reminds you of your true identity. 

There is a trend within the culture that drives me crazy. It keeps us from growing spiritually, disconnects us from the world around us, and tarnishes our legacy. Any guess what it is?

In this episode, you'll learn about this trend and what you can do to see if it has seeped into your culture.
