The church has always relied heavily on the contributions of women, from the female disciples who traveled with Jesus and funded His ministry out of their own means to the nameless grandmother who showed up early to brew the coffee you swigged down before church last week. But women are growing increasingly disenchanted with the Church; as a group, they are leaving the church almost twice as fast as men, and volunteerism has plummeted. What’s up with that, and what can we do about it?

Check out my article at RELEVANT about how the professionalization of ministry has impacted women, and why we need more women stepping up to the plate.

Happy International Women’s Day, everyone! Go, girls, go!!!
