Redefining Identity: Elizabeth Bair on Navigating The Temptation of "Proving" (Part 2) | PT 129

What happens when your gender, age, and relationship status seem to speak louder than your call?

In this episode, Pastor Elizabeth Bair returns to The Pastor’s Table to reflect on the quiet tension of pastoral identity, learning to relax into the authority God has given, and why she's not chasing titles, but transformation.

🎙️ In This Episode:

• The burden of “proving yourself” in ministry as a young woman
• Singleness and the myth of being “incomplete” in church culture
• When call becomes confirmation: living into the identity God speaks
• Learning to lead with grace when you're underestimated
