I needed a place to put some of the ideas that I was processing in my own life. It serves as a one of those baby steps to communicating what one is passionate about. Through the years, I have used it regularly when I wanted to have a landing place for my writing. Sometimes I write mostly for myself. Sometimes, I write mostly for others. There have been certain seasons when writing here on this blog has been one of the things that saved my life.
Four years ago, I discerned a nudge from the Lord to gather some mostly online resources for those who themselves are sorting through the question about women leading in church. Part of me also wanted to gather these resources so that in one place there could be a 30-day crash course so that others we may know who struggle with the questions could have a safe distanced learning experience.
It was called NO MORE. NO VOICE. NOVEMBER
Now, in this season, I'm excited that I get to do a workshop in partnership with the wonderful folks at the Genesis Justice Network that focuses on my research. I enjoy sharing these stories that I gathered almost a decade ago. Though we have made progress, we as female pastors, still face an uphill battle. There remain people among us who have not wrestled with scripture themselves and come to peace with women leading in church. There remain people among us who have not heard what it is really like to lead as a woman in places where the script that is running in the back of peoples minds is "she should not be doing that!" I would love to share these stories with you and for us to have conversations about how we can work together in making the world and our churches places where women can thrive in serving and leading. You are invited to join us! It's FREE!!!
