Hey, Friends,

Women need women. Whether it is a daughter leaning on her mom, grandmother, or sister, or neighbors becoming friends, we are hardwired to need each other. Some women have the same friends throughout adulthood; other women continuously seek new friends. And if you work outside of the home, developing work friends is very important to work satisfaction.

But ministry is still largely a man’s world. It is not uncommon for a church to have one female minister on staff. To further complicate matters, it is vital to have relationships outside of your work context. So it often falls on the woman to find or create a community outside of work.

In today’s episode, I talk about the need women have for community outside of their ministry context and what they can do about it.

I pray this blesses you,

Hey, Friend,

We tend to think of leadership as those people who have titles and authority over people who operate under their leadership.

But many people who are leaders, meaning they have significant influence, do not have an official title. In today’s episode, I explore a powerful idea: You don’t need a fancy title to be a leader.

In fact, 70% of influence inside organizations comes from people who aren’t officially in charge. Silent leaders quietly shape their teams and organizations, yet aren’t always recognized for their impact.

Toward the end of today’s episode, I share some ways you can leverage your silent leadership.

I pray this blesses you!

Hey, Friend!

In today’s episode, I share a little about the story of Barnabas, as recorded in the book of Acts. His nickname, given to him by the Apostles, means Son of Encouragement.

When you look at the Greek word: paraklesis, the meaning goes way beyond what we think of when we think of encourage. This is why Barnabas stood out. His encouragement was bold, visionary, generous, and healing. And your encouragement can be that as well.

I pray this blesses you!
