As women, especially women called to ministry, our experience pursuing and stewarding our gifts to preach and teach God's word is very different from a man's. Many women who have felt called to teach the word of God have experienced the frustrations of the gifts in her burning inside, yet the opportunity to preach and teach is not readily available. Sure, she can do kids ministry, put together church events and work the front desk, and all those are important things that need doing, but when the calling on her life is to teach the word of God, they can feel like tasks that get in the way of her living the life she was created to. While that may not be entirely true, the feelings are there. This leaves us with the question of "what's a woman to do?!" Throw in the confusion that comes from bad theology that says a woman is not permitted to teach the word of God and the pain and frustration only increases. In today's episode, fellow female Pastor, Carrie Hunt and I dig into not only HOW to find an outlet for your gifts, but also how to steward the raising of your family while pursuing ministry, and how to not allow the pain of past seasons to harden your heart toward new relationships. This is a great episode you won't want to miss! And, take a second to share it with a friend that needs encouragement in this space. (Or to a guy friend who doesn't understand the struggle). And don't forget to rate my show and leave a review wherever you listen to podcasts. This helps get us even further around the world! Enjoy the show...
