5 Ways to Engage Millennials
It was my first women’s ministry event at our new church. I sat in the back and surveyed the room as the leader took her place at the front. By far the youngest, I doubted that any of the other women could relate to me. After the evening was over, I drove home and told my husband […]
Help Women to Dream Again
When I was young and someone would ask me, “What do you dream of being when you grow up?” I may have responded unlike other young girls. Many of my friends would state they dreamt of being a mother, or a wife; some said they dreamt of being a princess, or a cheerleader. However, ever […]
4 Steps to Engage Single Women in Ministry
As a ministry leader, I want to effectively minister to and reach the women God puts in my path. Recently, I considered who those women were and realized there was a section of women coming to church by themselves who were not really plugged in. My heart ached for them and I began to pray […]
Can Cupcakes and Women’s Ministry Coexist?
I love cupcakes, icebreaker games and door prizes. I also crave transformational Bible study, deep spiritual conversations and intimate times of prayer with Christian sisters. Can we do it all?

Getting Rid of the ‘Do It All’ Ministry Mindset

See Ministry Through the Eyes of the New Girl
I was on staff at the church my husband and I helped plant. I knew my church’s history, our theology, our vision for the future. I knew each family in the directory that I printed myself — their interests, their talents, their battles. I had the privilege of welcoming the congregation each week and telling them about prayer […]
Reach In to Women In the Faith
While outreach and evangelism are critical for any church ministry, let’s not forget to minister to the women whom are already in the faith and within arm’s reach. God’s Word says, Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone – especially to those in the family of faith. Galatians 6:10 NLT […]
Create a Safe Place for Women to Share Their Story
Years ago, I taught my first workshop on a mended heart. Nearly 500 women had signed up for the workshop. They walked into the room chatting and laughing. On the outside they seemed to have it all together. But after the workshop? Many of them held crumpled tissue while others wept openly. A line formed […]
