Women now have professional opportunities beyond those of previous generations. But sadly, as women have seen their roles grow at work, the church’s vision for women’s work and calling has not grown along with it. This has left women feeling isolated and under-resourced.
Joanna Meyer has written Women, Work, and Calling: Step into Your Place in God’s World (InterVarsity Press, 2023). She is the Director of Public Engagement and the Executive Director of Women, Work, and Calling at the Denver Institute for Faith & Work. In our discussion, we talk about the multiple tensions that Christian women face – between home and work, and between the great gifts that they have and the limiting beliefs that hold them back from providing their workplaces with the fullness of those gifts. All the while having to navigate the complex and sometimes difficult gender dynamics in the workplace.
