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
⏱️ Timestamps:
03:00 – Proving yourself vs. resting in your call
07:00 – The “triple threat”: young, single, female pastor
13:00 – Finding spiritual authority in the midst of critique
20:00 – When ministry fits “like a glove”
27:00 – What Gen Z pastors wish older leaders knew
🧭 Takeaway:
God doesn’t define you by what others see as limitations. He calls you by name. That is enough.
