About this listen
This week on the podcast, Katy shares a powerful conversation with Pastor Kimberly MacNeill about why women are leaving the church and attending less than ever before. They discuss hyper masculinity in our Sunday services, sexual abuse scandals, and the lack of a female presence in church leadership as what may be contributing to this phenomenon, as well as provide advice for ministry leaders who seek to elevate the voices of women.
Make sure you check out our bonus Substack episode for paid subscribers where Katy and Kim “re-imagine” what the church might look like if they looked to Jesus’s example of leadership, rather than power and authority.
