Finding Balance While Moving Forward with Bethany Allen

Happy New Year and welcome back to the podcast! We're starting 2021 off with one of our favorite guests we've had on the show, Bethany Allen. Bethany is the Pastor of Spiritual Formation and Leadership Development at Bridgetown Church, in Portland, Oregon. She has a deep passion to see people defined, not by what they do, but who they are created to be: image bearers of God. Compelled by her deep affection for the Scriptures and her genuine desire to be an effective learner in order to be an effective teacher, Bethany works hard counseling individuals, developing curriculum and planning alongside Bridgetown's pastoral team. A southern belle by birth, Bethany left the Bible belt for the Pacific Northwest in 2007. In this episode we dive into the topic of female pastors, finding middle ground in the midst of the patriarchy and new wave feminism and what it means to seek true equality. This episode seeks to answer the question, how can we find balance while moving forward? Connect with us: www.whatthefaith.space [email protected] Music By: Justin Kiatvongcharoen
