Need to Know: Empowering Female Leadership and Why It's Essential for the Future of the Church - Paperback

CHANGE REQUIRES US TO LISTEN TO VOICES OUTSIDE OF OUR NORM.

Our church is grappling with a crisis marked by declining attendance, political polarization, and culture wars. Amidst this crisis is the persistent exclusion of women. How can we truly embody Jesus' vision for the church when we silence and sideline over half the congregation? Even when women are permitted to lead, they are frequently overlooked and left out of decision-making. The result? A depleted church with women leaving in droves.
Why have we limited women's contributions? Consider what transformation might be possible if we choose to learn from and listen to women gifted to lead. It's past time we elevated the voices of those closest to the issues and best equipped to provide meaningful solutions.
Need to Know draws on the perspectives of twenty-one authors-a diverse company of predominantly female voices who impart personal experience, theological analysis, and historical study. They challenge the prevailing structures, examine the benefits of empowering leadership, and envision a future where women and men lead together. This book is an essential resource for every church leader to create a more equitable and thriving church.
