When She Leads Conference October 21-22 | Reliance Church | Temecula, CA

Brenda Leavenworth — Mon, 03 Oct 2022 17:20:35 +0000

This year’s When She Leads conference is for every woman serving in ministry. Our theme this year is, Breaking New Ground, taken from Hosea 10:12 – “Sow for yourselves with a view to righteousness, harvest in accordance with kindness, break up your uncultivated ground for it is time to seek the Lord until he comes and rains righteousness on you” (NASB)

As we gather, our focus is threefold:

First, we are asking God to break new ground in equipping us for this cultural moment. Second, we are asking God to break new ground in discovering new territories, new fields, and new ministries. And third, we are asking God to break new ground in our communities, where we want to meet new people and establish new friendships, so we can partner together for furtherance of the gospel.

Brenda Leavenworth — Mon, 19 Sep 2022 16:44:10 +0000

The Pastor’s Wife & Friendships

It’s been said, “Being a Pastor’s wife is the loneliest role in the church,” and we would generally agree. Although we wouldn’t say, “I’m lonely,” we often feel alone. In this episode, we talk through the complexities in navigating friendships distinctive to the Pastor’s wife.

Episode 3- “Leading Through Seasons of Doubt”

Brenda Leavenworth — Sat, 18 Sep 2021 07:00:00 +0000

Today, on When She Leads, we talk through the complexities and nuances of leading through seasons of doubt. We will be discussing some common “doubts” we all experience and some tools we can share with others to help them come to a better understanding of God’s goodness and sovereignty. This will hopefully help them become more confident, not in their faith, but in the object of their faith, God Himself, who continues to pour out His blessings despite our doubt.

Introducing When She Leads Podcast & Women in Ministry Leadership Initiative

Brenda Leavenworth — Thu, 15 Jul 2021 20:00:00 +0000

Introducing the CGN Women in Ministry Leadership Initiative and When She Leads Podcast! Brenda Leavenworth of Reliance Church will be leading this initiative on creating a network for women in ministry leadership, along with Jenn Benham, Rosemary Cady, Kelly Bell, Jody Ponce and many more amazing women!!

EPISODE 1 OF WHEN SHE LEADS IS OUT NOW! The team begins with a discussion on “Becoming a Leader God Can Use”

ALSO, Jody Ponce shares some thoughts about the new When She Leads Podcast. Look for her upcoming article to follow soon!

“Jesus made it possible for women to walk across the threshold, he opened the door and invited them to walk through. Now, obviously we realise that within the body of Christ there are many differing views on the roles women should play in the church. We have, hard complementarians, soft-complementarians, egalitarians and of course those who are on the fence, not quite sure what they believe about the question. However, for those women who are reading this and are already in leadership, whether that be over a women’s ministry, and outreach, missions trips, evangelism, teaching and preaching or discipleship, this article is here to remind you that Jesus opened the door for you, and we each must choose to humble ourselves and walk through it, laying down our lives in service to him. When it comes to walking through the door of service to Christ, no-one can carry you, it is for us to walk through to Christ.

It is time then for women to be equipped for the service God is calling them to. Calvary Global Network, seeing this need, has started a ‘woman in leadership’ task team to build and encourage women in leadership and ministry, in the global church, for the service God has called them to. Women are important to God, and training and guiding women in the service of the Lord is vitally important. Often, women in ministry do not feel equipped and feel very much alone in their service. But if women are to take up their cross and step into their call to serve and to lead, then they need to be equipped for the task.

‘Now may the God of peace—who brought up from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep, and ratified an eternal covenant with his blood—may he equip you with all you need for doing his will. May he produce in you, through the power of Jesus Christ, every good thing that is pleasing to him. All glory to him forever and ever! Amen’ (Hebrews 13:20-21- 20-NLT).

Join the conversation. Each month we gather around the table to consider the complexities and realities of leading as a woman.”
