About this listen

After decades of ministry in small churches — including years as a pastor’s wife — Abigail Doust has learned what truly serves women and what quietly pushes them away.

In this episode, we talk honestly about moving beyond stereotypes, events-for-events’-sake, and one-person leadership, and toward ministry that helps women feel seen, known, and spiritually formed.

This is a grounded, experience-rich conversation about gathering women well, building teams, and creating space for authentic faith to grow.

In this episode, we talk about:

  1. The difference between women’s ministry and a ministry that actually serves women
  2. Why many women quietly avoid church events — and what changes that
  3. How small teams and shared leadership create healthier ministry
  4. What discipleship looks like when we focus on the whole person, not attendance
