What does it mean to be a radiant witness for Christ? In this episode, Heather talks to Tara Beth Leach about the difficulties of being a woman in ministry as well as the struggles of being a faithful Christian in increasingly divided times. Tara has endured attacks on her witness both online and offline but has continued to pour her heart into the work to which God has called her.   Despite the battered reputation of the North American church, Tara is optimistic about the church's future. She is honest, reflective, and blunt about the present state of evangelicalism, while affirming the abiding hope that Christians have in Christ.   About Our Guest: Tara Beth Leach is a pastor, preacher, and writer. She speaks widely at conferences, retreats, and universities across America on church leadership, women in ministry, and the call to be a “radiant witness.” She is a pastor at Christ Church of Oak Brook in the western suburbs of Chicago and previously served as senior pastor of First Church of the Nazarene of Pasadena (“PazNaz”) in Southern California. She is the author of Emboldened: A Vision for Empowering Women in Ministry, and her latest book is Radiant Church: Restoring the Credibility of our Witness.

Why does it still surprise me to hear that a woman has been called to be the Senior Pastor of a church? Why is there still a part of me that thinks ministry leadership is a man’s job? Probably because the patriarchy of our culture has shaped me more deeply than I know.But, unlike me, God does not set limits on who is called to ministry leadership.In this episode, Tara Beth Leach, Senior Pastor of First Church of the Nazarene of Pasadena–affectionately known to many as PazNaz–shares the story of her call to ministry and the challenges she has faced along the way. Tara Beth is the author of Emboldened: A Vision for Empowering Women in Ministry.THIS EPISODE’S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:Tara Beth Leach is the Senior Pastor of First Church of the Nazarene of Pasadena, or “PazNaz.” She is also the author of Emboldened: A Vision for Empowering Women in Ministry.Tara Beth first felt her call to ministry when she was in high school. But she was told she couldn’t be a pastor.Even though her Nazarene denomination affirms women in ministry, Tara Beth noticed that the reality was that women were being sidelined.Leading PazNaz has been the hardest thing Tara Beth Leach has ever done.Tara Beth works hard to process the challenge of ministry in a healthy way.Mandy Smith, author of The Vulnerable Pastor, is part of Tara Beth’s support system.The issue of women in ministry is not merely a justice issue; it’s a gospel issue and a missional issue.Tara Beth encourages “amplification,” a practice in which women and men “amplify” the voices of women in the room by repeating and highlighting the words the women in the room are speaking.Tara Beth encourages women to lead from their femininity. But this is a very complicated topic because femininity is, in many ways, culturally constructed. The bottom line for women is basically just…lead from who you authentically are.Patriarchy, which emerged out of the curses in Genesis 3, is not prescriptive (“this is how you should live), but descriptive (“this is what the world looks like when sin becomes part of the story”).We have been called to live by the reality of the resurrection, not under the shadow of the curse.We need to be less myopic and, instead, begin to take note of those around us—men and women—who have been called to ministry.Tara Beth encourages women in ministry to take one faithful step at a time.

Throughout Scripture and church history, women have been central to the mission of God. But all too often women have lacked opportunities to minister fully. Many churches lack visible examples of women in ministry and leadership. This can and should be changed. Scot and Tara Beth continue their conversation about how women can be emboldened to do the ministry they are gifted to do. When women teach, preach, lead, evangelize, pastor, and disciple, the church's imagination expands to better reflect God's story and hope for the world. Interested in Tara Beth’s new book?
