Much of what men and women both think about women, gender differences, and cultural norms is remarkably under-processed. Without the benefit of intentional conversation about the barriers women face, most women are left to enter the world of leadership with inadequate awareness and resources. The acknowledgement of a woman's right to leadership is only the first step. We have not yet addressed the very common barriers women face when they enter the leadership arena, nor have we explored practical solutions to help them navigate those barriers so they can lead effectively. Women need to know that unrealistic optimism is a recipe for failure. Simply by acknowledging constraints to success, then exploring strategies to enhance leadership skills, we can help women take greater authority over their call to live out of a God-given identity and giftedness. When Women Lead is for men and women who advocate for female leadership within the Church. When women are educated about the challenges they face and are given resources to navigate beyond those challenges, their opportunity for success in ministry increases dramatically. The purpose of this book is to describe those challenges, explore practical solutions, and equip women to lead successfully and hopefully. While it is an excellent resource for women ready to enter leadership with more confidence and authority, it's also perfect for denominational leaders charged with raising up women called to leadership roles, for lay leaders who want to better understand the dynamics at work when the pastor is a woman, and for husbands, parents, and friends who desperately want to support women in their life who are living out what God has given them to do. What if the Kingdom of God is straining toward the day when all God's people are living out their God-given gifts and callings? What if the Church is the most effective instrument for bringing about God's Kingdom on earth? What if the most significant barrier to women's leadership in the Church is not a lack of ability or calling but rather a lack of education and support? When Women Lead is a groundbreaking book that addresses these questions and more. Written by a team of experienced pastors, denominational leaders, and lay leaders, this book provides a comprehensive and practical guide for women who are called to leadership roles in the Church. In this book, you will learn: The challenges women face in leadership roles The importance of education and support for women in leadership roles Practical strategies for navigating the barriers to women's leadership Practical solutions for enhancing women's leadership skills The role of men and women in supporting women's leadership in the Church The impact of women's leadership on the Church and society In addition to providing a wealth of information and resources, When Women Lead is also a call to action. The authors believe that the Church has a responsibility to support and empower women in leadership roles, and they offer practical steps for churches and denominations to take to achieve this goal. Whether you are a pastor, denominational leader, lay leader, husband, parent, or friend, When Women Lead is a must-read for anyone who wants to see women's leadership in the Church grow and thrive. So why wait? Start reading When Women Lead today and join the movement toward a more inclusive and empowered Church.
