Jenni Catron on Leading Holistically and Women Leaders in the Church

Biggest Takeaways You Don't Want To Miss:
  • Leadership is an act of love. 'Leadership is about loving and serving others well and drawing out the best from them and aligning them on a mission together.'
  • Leaders are not well-rounded. Each of us naturally leads from our heart, soul, mind or strength. But healthy leaders develop ways to lead with awareness of the value of each perspective.
  • We need more women leaders. Women leaders struggle with insecurity and a lack of opportunities. Men can be sensitive to the struggles of potential women leaders and be patient as you persist in inviting women into leadership.

The Church and our culture are at a crossroads when it comes to the role of women in leadership. Let's fight for clarity about what the Scriptures teach, recognize the complementary gifts of men and women, and be aggressive to raise up women leaders within the boundaries of our complementarianism.
