Join us this week for an inspiring conversation with Tara Beth Leach, senior pastor at Good Shepherd Church in Naperville, Illinois, co-founder of Propel Ecclesia, and co-host of the Pastor’s Table podcast. Tara Beth opens up about her journey as the first female millennial pastor of a mega church in Southern California, the resistance she has faced as a woman in ministry, and the invaluable support she has received from mentors, cohorts, and therapy to stay true to her calling.

We think that Tara Beth’s story will resonate with many female leaders in ministry, and if you hear anything from this episode (and this season) we hope you hear that you’re not alone. If you’re seeking support on your ministry journey, consider joining our Fall 2024 Resilience Circles.
