Sisters, a reminder:
Your leadership gifts are not a sign of selfish ambition. And discerning a call to leadership is not a sign of pride.
God gave you gifts to use them. And that is called stewardship.
Imagine hearing the Spirit say, “Let me use you for my glory” and man saying, “We don’t want the gospel if it comes from you.” Those who told me it was disobedience if I didn’t follow His will now tell me that I can’t do the thing God called me to do in SBC churches.
Even as a child, I remember being taught that I was worthy because God made me worthy. I didn’t have to prove my worth or earn my place in the kingdom of God- it was a miracle to me! Then I spent over a decade trying to do just that in SBC circles.
