sW4H 46 | Is the Church Missing Half the Picture?
Featuring: Joanna Meyer
Ministry: Women, Work & Calling
What happens when God’s calling for your life doesn’t fit the mold others expect? For many Christian working women, navigating faith, career, leadership, and relationships can feel like trying to follow a roadmap that was never designed for them. Joanna Meyer of the Denver Institute for Faith & Work knows that challenge firsthand, and she’s helping change the conversation through Women, Work, and Calling.
Joanna joins Jim and Martha to discuss her book, Women, Work & Calling, and the growing movement equipping Christian women to embrace their God-given gifts and influence. From recognizing the biblical foundation for work to navigating workplace challenges and building relationships that strengthen our faith, Joanna offers practical encouragement for women seeking to live out their calling in every area of life.

Why men need to listen to women's experiences and recognize the gifts and abilities God has given them
