Hey, Friend!Today’s episode is part 2 of our series: Feeling Valued in Ministry: A Journey Toward Wholeness. This one is entitled: Reclaiming Your Worth in Ministry, because sometimes the problem isn’t that we don’t have value - it’s that we have handed it to people who were never meant to hold it,. Reclaiming your value means calling it back home - to your identity in Christ, not your identity in titles, roles, or responsibilities. I pray this blesses you, Becky

Hey, Friend!Have you ever had a season where life just felt out of control? Maybe a loved one was making choices you couldn’t stop. Maybe circumstances—work, finances, health—spun beyond your reach. That powerless feeling is heavy. But here’s the truth: You’re not powerless. In this week’s podcast episode, “Feel Powerless?

2025/10/15

Hey, Friend!Authenticity in leadership is one of those buzzwords that everyone loves to praise—until they see what it really costs. We’re told: “Be an authentic leader.” But no one tells us how risky it feels. Because true authenticity isn’t about oversharing, being liked, or saying whatever’s on your mind. It’s about: Admitting you were wrong—fully. Holding to your values when it costs you. Saying the hard truth when it would be easier to stay quiet. Choosing trust over approval. That

Hey, Friend! We’ve all been there—sitting in a meeting where the questions feel less like curiosity and more like an interrogation. Even when a leader’s intentions are good, the way questions are asked can leave people defensive, guarded, or even discouraged. But it doesn’t have to be that way. In this week’s episode of Leadership Becomes Her, I share practical strategies for asking questions that build trust instead of fear.

Hey, Friend,If you’re a woman in ministry, you already know—friendships can be complicated. Work friends and church friends are a blessing. They “get it” in ways few others can. But when all your friendships are tied to the same place where you work and worship, life can quickly feel fragile. That’s what this week’s episode of Leadership Becomes Her is all about: 👉 Work Friends vs. Outside Community: Why Both Matter for Women in Ministry In the episode, I share: The benefits and boundaries of

2025/09/10

Hey, Friends,Women need women. Whether it is a daughter leaning on her mom, grandmother, or sister, or neighbors becoming friends, we are hardwired to need each other. Some women have the same friends throughout adulthood; other women continuously seek new friends. And if you work outside of the home, developing work friends is very important to work satisfaction. But ministry is still largely a man’s world. It is not uncommon for a church to have one female minister on staff. To further complicate

2025/09/03

Hey, Friend, We tend to think of leadership as those people who have titles and authority over people who operate under their leadership. But many people who are leaders, meaning they have significant influence, do not have an official title. In today’s episode, I explore a powerful idea: You don’t need a fancy title to be a leader. In fact, 70% of influence inside organizations comes from people who aren’t officially in charge. Silent leaders quietly shape their teams and organizations, yet aren’t

2025/08/27

Hey, Friend!In today’s episode, I share a little about the story of Barnabas, as recorded in the book of Acts. His nickname, given to him by the Apostles, means Son of Encouragement. When you look at the Greek word: paraklesis, the meaning goes way beyond what we think of when we think of encourage. This is why Barnabas stood out. His encouragement was bold, visionary, generous, and healing. And your encouragement can be that as well. I pray this blesses you! Becky

2025/08/20

Hey, Friend,I probably don’t have to tell you this. Women need women. We need women we can trust, confide in, share our lives with, and bounce ideas off of. I recently took a survey of women in ministry to find out what they needed and they responded with several answers. But the one answer that every woman gave was this: I need a community of women in ministry outside of my context. That’s why I started offering Kairos Cohort. This is a group coaching program whereby we meet 7 times a year via

2025/08/13

Hey, Friend!Ministers don’t like to talk about ministry as business, but in the U.S. it is in most cases. If you want church to be just ministry, meet in a home, don’t collect money, and have everyone serve as a volunteer. The minute you buy or rent space, start paying people and purchase goods, you have become a nonprofit business with all of the benefits and expectations of the IRS that go along with that. Ministers would do well to fully understand what all of that means so that they can steward

Hey, Friend,If you have ever been mentored in leadership, or if you have mentored someone else, then you know the value of having someone walking alongside you, answering your questions, showing you how things work at this church that you just started working for. And, yet, many churches do not provide mentors for their new hires. In today’s episode, I share the benefits of having a mentoring system that will be guaranteed to set up new hires for success.

2025/07/30

Hey, Friend! Mansplaining is patronizing and condescending. When a man mansplains to a woman he automatically assumes she has no knowledge or experience with the subject. Women can be guilty of this to, although the term womansplaining hasn’t really caught on. In today’s episode, I share some ways a man can avoid mansplaining, by focusing on being a good listener, being humble in his communication, paying attention to non-verbal cues, and being open to feedback.

2025/07/23

Hey, Friend!If you have never thought about your fairness as a leader, or if you are convinced that you are fair, then this episode is for you. In it, I suggest a self-assessment that you should do periodically to determine if you are fair or not. Fairness is more than equitable treatment. As you will hear in the suggested self-assessment questions, you will need to dig deep into various ways you interact with others. And if you really want to know if you are fair, you will ask some trusted

Hey, Friend!Ministers depend on volunteers to help a church run smoothly. We literally cannot do our jobs without them. Our job is to pour into those volunteers our time, our attention, our resources, and any training they might want or need. In fact, we have the responsibility to lead by empowering our team members, fostering their trust, and building a culture of collaboration and accountability. In today’s episode, I share some strategies for doing so. I pray this blesses you! Becky
