Join hosts Amber and Lisa as they welcome special guest Pastor Tabi Horne for a candid conversation about women in church leadership. In this empowering episode, Pastor Tabi shares her journey from being a pastor's kid who never wanted to enter ministry to planting and leading The Gathering, an urban church in Minneapolis.
Discover how this single female lead pastor navigates challenges unique to her position while celebrating her incredible impact, with over 100 people coming to faith in just two years! Tabi opens up about her family's pastoral legacy, the internal struggles she faces wondering "would this church do better with a male pastor?", and how she's learned to stay focused on her calling despite opposition.
The conversation explores biblical examples of women in leadership throughout church history, the cultural challenges women face in ministry today, and how to walk in confidence when others question your right to lead. Tabi reminds listeners that "you never know who's on the other side of your yes" when responding to God's call.
Whether you're curious about women in ministry, considering leadership yourself, or need encouragement to step into your calling, this episode delivers wisdom, authentic conversation, and practical insights for anyone ready to move off the sidelines and into their purpose.
