GIFTED FOR LEADERSHIP


Biblical truth—We always look at leadership issues through a biblical lens.

Reality—We are realistic about the issues, struggles, challenges, opportunities, and joys women leaders face.

Honesty—We are committed to addressing reality with honesty and without apology.

Redemption
—We express ourselves without bitterness. When speaking from personal pain, we point to hope and healing—even if our healing process is incomplete. This is not a forum for mere arguments or expressions of personal anguish.

Love—We care about women in leadership and want to make personal connections with them.

Equipping
—We help women get better, and more confident, in what they do.

Encouragement
—We want women to feel good about the gifts God has given them, and we help them see how they can use those gifts. We love and root for the church and its people.

Challenge
—We challenge women to use their leadership gifts, pursue spiritual growth, and think deeply.

Unity—We help women rise above the arguments and judgments about where they should lead. Instead, we agree that we are all obligated to use our gifts in the ways God has called us to do so.
