Male Allyship with Brian Keepers and Jeremy Simpson Lavish Hope

Brian Keepers and Jeremy Simpson join Rev. Liz Testa to discuss male allyship and working toward a culture where women serve freely and fully alongside their brothers. This topic is not only important in the broader church, and is particularly relevant to Lavish Hope’s home denomination, the Reformed Church in America. The RCA will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of women’s ordination as elders and deacons in 2023, and the 45th anniversary of women’s ordinations as ministers.Brian Keepers and Jeremy Simpson are pastors, change-makers, and longtime champions of women in leadership. They are committed to building up authentic and equitable spaces for all of God’s children to belong. And both have decades of experience in churches from Iowa to Michigan, to Connecticut. This conversation gets deep fast, as Jeremy and Brian share their journeys and reflect on their experiences. They offer helpful resources, encouragement, and of course, lavish hope for a future in which the gifts, influence, and leadership of women from all generations and backgrounds are fully embraced for the flourishing of the whole church.
