Women in Church Leadership? with Hayley Lafaele

When you give your life to Jesus, how do you learn to lead without letting ambition, performance, or position get in the way?In this episode of Leading Well, host Steve Green sits down with Hayley Lafaele for a raw, funny, and deeply insightful chat about the highs and lows of ministry. Hayley shares her incredible story of coming to faith at 18 through a Brooke Fraser song, and how that moment set off a journey into leadership, theology, and deep discipleship. Together, Steve and Hayley dive straight into the hard questions: How do we properly interpret Scripture regarding women in leadership? What is the difference between having a spiritual gift and actually building Godly character? And how do we resist the trap of trying to force or manufacture our own success?Whether you are navigating your own calling, grappling with theological questions around leadership, or seeking encouragement to remain faithful in the background, Hayley’s deep wisdom and humour offer a powerful roadmap for every disciple.
