Episode 36: Blessing Over Competing

It’s Week Three of our Advent journey with Mary and Elizabeth, and today we’re exploring what their relationship teaches us about calling, courage, and community.These two women remind us that ministry was never meant to be done alone. Their story is a beautiful picture of what happens when women show up for one another—blessing instead of competing, celebrating instead of comparing, and standing together so the whole church stands stronger.This week, we’re talking honestly about the pressures clergywomen face: competition, comparison, and the quiet messages that tell us someone else’s success is a threat instead of a gift. But Mary and Elizabeth give us another way—a way rooted in joy, affirmation, and mutual support.Join me as we lean into that way of being: choosing blessing, choosing celebration, choosing community. Because when clergywomen rise together, the whole church rises with us.
