The Moms in Ministry Podcast
My name is Jolea and I am.. a Mom in Ministry (shocking I know). But as I have navigated the last 11 years of actively serving in ministry positions from volunteer to Pastor as well as a lifetime of serving in the church, I noticed a glaring gap that I couldn’t ignore: Resources for ministry leaders that would equip them to live well and do ministry well. And even more specifically: resources for WOMEN in ministry that would equip them to live well and do ministry well. Even more specifically than that: resources for WOMEN in ministry who are also MOMS and have the mandate of caring for their home, their children while also a calling to serve in ministry. So I created the community I needed. A place where women can connect on this purpose-filled, tough, powerful, and impactful journey. Where they will know they are not alone and receive the insight, tools, and encouragement they need to do all they know they are called to do. If that’s you, welcome. I am so glad you are here.
