What I have come to realize in over 20 years of ministry is there are very few female pastors who are available
to mentor the new pastors God is calling. When God called me into ministry, in the Church of the Nazarene only 4% of the pastors were female. I was one of those. And now the 4% are being called upon to mentor the 18% of female pastors in the Church of the Nazarene today. However, our seminaries and colleges are graduating 50% female, 50% male. We still have a long way to go, and a lot of work to do. That's one of the reasons I teach online for Northwest Nazarene University, a class called "Foundations of Women's Ordination" that is now required for all persons desiring to be pastors in the Church of the Nazarene. It's vitally important for the bride of Christ to make herself ready for the coming King!
As I mentor a number of new female pastors, I find they are asking similar questions. The Lord gave me the idea to start this website and create short teaching videos to help women and men be the best we can be as we seek to lead the Kingdom of God forward in these changing days. You don't have to be a pastor to enjoy these videos. Many of them are discipleship tools to help people grow in their faith.
As I continue to learn more, I will post more videos and blogs.
Thank you for checking out my website.
