I am feeling so excited and encouraged for women pastors and church planters.  The wind is shifting.  The tide is turning.  God is moving and is ready to raise His Christ-Driven Women up to new levels in this country very SOON!

I've had some very awesome email conversations in the past several weeks with pastors Shaun King, Dave Ferguson, Steve Sjogren, Ed Stetzer.  They are all such awesome men of God and all incredibly humble. (Even if they are all in different places in their views on women's roles in the church.)
