By: Kathy Escobar | November 12, 2014
In all the churches I'd been in up till that point, every single pastoral position was filled by men. Sure, I knew women's ministry directors, but no women who were actually pastors leading men. I did, however, know a lot of women who were filling the roles of pastor without the title.

Last month, I had the pleasure of working beside CBE partners in South Africa and Kenya, observing the impact of biblical teachings on gender equality. Our liberation in Christ is a mission without borders and one that constitutes a call to action. My encounters with individuals were so profound that I wanted to share the [...]
Pastor Stephanie—A Shining Example
By: Justin Miller | October 29, 2014
My vivid first impression was of the two pastors, Pastor Stephanie and Pastor Ed, standing up front to greet the congregation and deliver announcements.

Leadership Is When Shepherds Smell Like Sheep
By: Cheri Williams | October 27, 2014
Lynn Anderson’s book, They Smell Like Sheep is an excellent resource for pastors and elders.
