Sarah, what role do you serve in ministry? I would love to hear more on the dynamic of how this topic and content is applicable to your ministry/church.
Hi Katie, I'm the Director of Children and Family Ministry at my local church (PCUSA). I primarily serve kids infant to age 11 and their parents! Our head pastor is a woman, but I work alongside several men as well. I'm enthusiastic about all topics related to women in the church, which is why I'm glad your book is on my radar!
Thank you for your service in the Church! Let me know if there is any additional way I can serve you beyond the book. I pray for those reading everyday, may the Holy Spirit speak to you and fortify your heart, family, and ministry!
I know this isn’t the point of your article but the BGR (never heard it named that before) — my friend once mentioned she had to go on a day long trip with her sister (church staff) and our pastor, otherwise her sister would have to take a separate car and she didn’t really want to drive that far on her own… because our church has a rule that staff cannot be in the car alone if opposite sex. I was truthfully shocked! And then I wondered, am I naive? It was kind of disorienting to me.
This is a relevant point for conversation in the dynamic of men and women working together in the ministry context. Unless ministry teams are exclusively men or exclusively women, we are going to have these encounters on a regular basis. It is healthy for us to not sit in "we've always done it this way" and discern with the Holy Spirit what he is asking us to do today, within the dynamic of our specific team relationships and roles.
What a beautiful capture from the heart of my book! Thank you, Lisa, for taking the time to share this. I would love to see what you coin from the remaining chapters ;)
If there is a way I can serve you in further discussion or processing of the material, let me know! I am open to podcasts and webinars, and public speaking engagements, as well.

“It also affirms the personhood of others instead of turning them into ‘something to consume or resist consuming.’” - so good 👏🏻
I loved that quote! It should be our aim.
I love that we're moving on from "why women should lead with men" and into "how they should lead together". This was a helpful post!
I'm so glad! Thanks!
My point exactly- let's stop running in circles, and just get to work!
I'm so glad you brought this book to my attention! It sounds like it would be a compelling read, and beneficial to my job in ministry!
I bet it would be great for you! There was a lot more in it than what I covered here.

What a wonderfully detailed and well written feature on this book. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!

That's actually fairly common. I think there are good intentions behind it but it can get really weird.
