Emboldened

A Vision for Empowering Women in Ministry

De: Tara Beth Leach

Narrado por: Carla Mercer-Meyer

Throughout scripture and church history, women have been central to the mission of God. But all too often women have lacked opportunities to minister fully. Many churches lack visible examples of women in ministry and leadership. Tara Beth Leach, senior pastor of her denomination's flagship church, issues a stirring call for a new generation of women in ministry: to teach, to preach, to shepherd, and to lead. God not only permits women to minister, he emboldens, empowers, and unleashes women to lead out of the fullness of who they are. The church cannot reach its full potential without women using their God-given gifts. Leach provides practical expertise for how women can find their place at the table, escape imposter syndrome, face opposition, mentor others, and much more. Women who listen to this book will be inspired to use their gifts to edify the body of Christ and advance the kingdom of God. Men who listen to it will be inspired to embolden the women in their midst. When women teach, preach, lead, evangelize, pastor, and disciple, the church's imagination expands to better reflect God's story and hope for the world.

Thank you for this book

This book expressed so many things that I have thought about women in ministry and a holistic approach to everybody doing their part. It was presented very well. Thank you for writing this book!

Like listening to a series of great sermons!

So, one of my goals in 2019 is to read more. Finished this as my first audio book this morning. It’s a great audio book as Tara Beth writes as a preacher. If you want to be encouraged and given very practical tips on how to encourage women in ministry, this book is for you!

Men and women in the church need to read this!

Tara Beth Leach walks us through what it will take and why we should bother to see God’s kingdom come in both males and females in the church.

AMAZING AND LIFE CHANGING

This book is life changing! For a women leaders I felt my story in yours and it healed and gave perspective to so many of my journey! Thank you! The Best is yet to come!

Outstanding!

I felt so seen in this book. So affirming and healing. More men and women in ministry need to read this book!

Must read

If you’re a woman in ministry. If you’re a woman who loves church. If you’re a woman curious about Jesus. Honestly, if you’re simply a woman, you need to read this.
It’ll make you ask yourself some questions. It’ll inspire. It’ll bring encouragement.

It’ll change your life.

Excellent Listen! And so glad someone is speaking up’

I’m a lead pastor alongside my husband of a church we planted in Boston. We left the south where we started in ministry because my husband quickly realized I would be suffocated by the cultural gender expectations of women in ministry, even in churches who supposedly support women in ministry. We knew our least path to resistance was to plant and lead a church we could shape with our own hands. We share equally the responsibility of pastoring our church in both the administrative, leadership and preaching ministries, and we have said over the last 12 years since founding our church how grateful we are to walk arm and arm in this spiritual warfare, completely surrendered to each other and the Spirit of God. We ache for so many exhausted male pastors to see the gift that lies next to them every night at home! I especially really loved hearing from the perspective of a woman pastor who’s husband is not in “full time ministry”. Living in New England, the only women pastors like Tara Beth I’ve met are pastors of new age universalist churches, so it was refreshing to hear from a woman rising up with the call to shepherd Jesus’ church with sound doctrine and full of passion for the Word of God! We join the mission and answer the call in this book to embolden women in our congregation who feel called to lead and preach. I’m taking many of the practical applications from this book to embolden more women around me so I can use the privilege I have to make room for more women around me and move the Kingdom of God forward!

A must read for everyone

Tara Beth writes with the experience of a heart transformed by the grace of Jesus, as we. As the pastoral heart and wisdom of an experienced shepherd. Every woman needs to read this as well as any man who has a daughter, wife, niece, or any other woman in his life.

Wow!

Thank you for reminding the body of Christ we all have a part in the mission and to “Emboldened” one another in Christ.
