About this listen

Sister, you just found your people.

Every female minister knows, deep within her heart, she has a special calling to serve God's people. There is a ministry you were put on this earth to fulfill - something only you can do. Your passion and your servant’s heart have led you to this point, and you have only just begun to step into your power in service to the church you love so much. But the church's patriarchal roots run deep. With one hand, the institutional church raises you up, lauding your leadership and praising your calling, and with the other hand, it tears you down, silencing your voice and breaking your heart.

Stuck in this crazy-making cycle, you wonder if it is all worth it. Maybe you should just walk away, save yourself, and find another way to serve God and the people She loves.

Sister, you have been trying to do alone what we can only do together. In this book, you will find:

  • An invitation to reckon with the ways the church has wounded you
  • Tools for recovering from the psychological abuse you have suffered at the hands of the church
  • Access to a powerful sisterhood working to undo the patriarchal strongholds that are killing the church
  • A process for reclaiming your own spiritual authority
  • Practices for discerning, envisioning, and co-creating the ministry you were born to incarnate

If you love the church, hate the church, and are not ready to give up on the church, this book is for you.
