WOMEN, WORK, & CALLING: STEP INTO YOUR PLACE IN GOD’S WORLD

Women now have professional opportunities beyond what previous generations ever imagined. But as our roles in public life have grown, the church's vision for women's work and calling has not grown with us, leaving us feeling isolated and under-resourced.

Joanna Meyer addresses a critical gap in Christian women's discipleship by speaking to the roles we play in public and professional life. Acknowledging the brokenness of workplaces and industries, she provides a theological framework for women's work and influence and offers resources for the challenges of working life.

Learn from the lived experience of godly female leaders and discover how women can have a redemptive impact through our work.
