To Answer the Call: Women, Leadership and the Church pt 1

In a needing world, the more qualified people who can answer the call to be a leader, offering help and hope in the church, the better. But sometimes, the challenge is less about saying “yes” to the call and more about battling the patriarchal culture in the church. Fortunately, things are changing. But we can do more to help people understand what God has to say about women He’s designed to teach and lead and why we need them now more than ever. Tune in today as we visit with one who has been “answering the call” for nearly 20 years. Chrissy Stergos is an Associate Youth Pastor in Missouri. Join us as we unpack the Scriptures to see what God has to say on this topic. You Can Read This!
