Episode notes

Many Christian women leaders feel the weight of responsibility when things stall - wondering if they need to push harder, fix more, or carry the burden alone. But what if the breakthrough you’re seeking isn’t about striving, but about learning how to see clearly, ask better questions, and partner with God in what is already unfolding? In today’s Renewal Conversation with Leslie Nunn Reed, we explore a different way of leading - one that moves from pressure to clarity, from reaction to creation, and from isolation to co-creation with the Holy Spirit. Through the lens of “midwifing” ideas and initiatives, this conversation offers a grounded and hopeful path for those who feel stuck but sense there is more. If you’ve been carrying more than you were meant to carry, this may be the invitation your soul has been waiting for. In this conversation, we discuss: ️ Leslie's vocational journey and the role faith played. ️ Vocation as a co-creative process with God and what it means to "move your feet". ️ How to move out of survival mode and into a mode of creation! ️ Resilient daily rhythms that include both lamenting and gratitude.
