Hear Women

Throughout history, women have often been relegated to the sidelines, subjugated by patriarchy, or prevented from exercising their God-given gifts at all. But women foster human flourishing in an array of spaces—as authors, pastors, and scholars. As artists, gardeners, and rock climbers. As friends, parents, and conversation partners. And much, much more. This half of the church has a unique voice that the whole church needs to hear. In Hear Women, Dorina Lazo Gilmore-Young, Tara Beth Leach, and Nijay Gupta engage in conversations that highlight the many ways that women are having profound impact in the church, their communities, and the world. Join us as we listen to women for the good of the church.

    Why the Church Needs to Hear Women

    The church is at its best when both women and men have a place at the table.  In this premiere episode of the Hear Women podcast, hosts Tara Beth Leach, Dorina Lazo Gilmore-Young, and Nijay Gupta open up a heartfelt conversation on why the church needs to hear from women—not just in theory, but in practice.  Through personal story and prayerful vision, the hosts challenge the church’s often limited imagination about what women can do and urge listeners to recognize the vital and diverse contributions women bring. They remind us that amplifying women’s voices isn’t solely a matter of representation, but a necessity for the church’s flourishing, mission, and future—especially amid today’s cultural moment. Whether you’re a young woman searching for your place, an established leader, or someone who longs to see the church live into God’s full design, this conversation offers wisdom, hope, and practical encouragement.
