266: Chatting about Gender Equality within the Christian church with Nicole Davis

Listen in as I chat with the author, ordained pastor and co-founder of coaching and consulting firm Empower to Engage, Nicole L. Davis, PhD. She recently released her new book, “Eve, Where Are You?: Confronting Toxic Practices Against the Advancement of Women,” which offers a powerful and thought-provoking analysis of the current status of gender equality within the Christian church and marketplace and provides valuable insight into the discrimination and hostility women face when attempting to move into leadership positions. Dr. Davis, an ordained pastor, Navy veteran, and professional conflict coach and resolutionist, offers her firsthand perspective as well as testimonies of other men and women who have experienced or witnessed the pushback. Emphasizing the importance of taking immediate action to eliminate gender bias and nurture an inclusive environment, Dr. Davis offers her expertise in conflict management and resolution and provides steps to shift core values, meet the unique needs of all people and improve communication through her R.E.F.R.E.S.H. model. This model is a three-fold system designed specifically with churches and other organizations in mind and uses a combination of consultation, coaching, education and training, and assessments and evaluations in helping leaders to achieve their goals. By identifying areas of focus for modifying current practices, Dr. Davis demonstrates how implementing her model on an organizational level can assist church leaders in carrying out a meaningful change that uplifts women and ensures their prosperity within the church and in their overall lives.
