WHO: Amy Orr-Ewing, an international speaker, theologian and apologist, who previously served as president of the Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics and is an honorary lecturer at the University of Aberdeen. 

SHE SAYS: “When the impulse to hold back and second-guess yourself strikes, why not ask Jesus for the courage to break through?” 

THE BIG IDEA: A seasoned apologist explores the challenges women leaders face to help the next generation succeed.

THE PROGRESSION: Through 43 chapters or “letters” organized into 10 sections, the author helps reads find their voice in leadership, wherever they happen to be. She combines a deep connection to Scripture with a grasp of the cultural moment we are in.

“Let’s not live our lives functioning as Christian atheists who have a framework of cultural belief with no room or need for God to show up as God.”

The Strengths of Smaller Healthy Churches

Small churches can create a family environment for disconnected people if they lean into the built-in intimacy they already have.
