For many churches, women make up over half of the congregation. At the same time, many churches have very few women in leadership capacities. In this episode, we share five ways to encourage women in leadership at your church.

Welcome to episode 225 of Practical Church Planting. 

Here are the five things we discuss in this episode:

• Ask women to fill needed roles
• Have a woman on stage every Sunday
• Get feedback from women on your sermons
• Be flexible with working hours
• Be clear about what you believe
