What Happens When a Woman Is Called By God into a Leadership Role

The aim of the talk is to support women who have a sense of calling into short-term or long-term leadership ministry. We will point to the biblical grounds of their ministry (in various contexts - church or other organisations) and talk about various phases of healthy female leadership (receiving the calling, getting equipped for the calling, getting spiritual support, the phase of standing faithfully in this role, time to stop and the phase of stepping down from that ministry, etc.). We will focus on the principles of healthy, non-manipulative, relational female leadership but also talk about its pitfalls, including burn-out and ways out of it.

Please note: The European Leadership Forum seeks to unite evangelical leaders around the Gospel and the biblical worldview. The Forum does not take a position on secondary issues such as baptism, church structure, or the role of women in the church (complementarianism vs. egalitarianism) or even allow teaching on these topics. Therefore, this workshop will not advocate an egalitarian or complementarian position. It will seek to support and equip women who are called to leadership roles outside the church or men who want to help women in leadership.
