Leadership is all about developing other leaders. It allows you to multiply the work by equipping and sending them out to do the work of ministry or service. Learning to lead is a process. Leading volunteers, as a volunteer yourself, is challenging. But when we have bonded and born fruit with other believers nothing can describe the joy it brings.

​Five things I’ve learned the hard way as a leader:
  1. The leader cannot take a group farther spiritually than they have gone themselves. Pastoring and feeding your own soul will be the most important thing you need to learn to do, or you will fail...continue reading

Statistics tell us that over forty million Americans struggle with anxiety disorders, with women diagnosed at a rate twice that of men. Even without an official pronouncement of a “disorder”, worry affects even the most spiritually mature and faithful. It drains us spiritually, emotionally and is exhausting. How can we best manage anxiety? Here are three suggestions:

FACE THE “WHAT IF…?”

Years ago I learned a valuable lesson when I least expected it (isn’t that how it always happens?) One of our young daughters had plaguing allergies, making her very uncomfortable.

For better or worse, that is thought a lot of women carry with them everywhere. It doesn’t have to involve children; women naturally tend to care for others and put other’s needs before their own...However, what happens when your tank starts flashing the low fuel light?. It’s not a bad thing. In fact, it’s probably one of the biggest strengths that God gave the female race...continue reading

.Tiffany Miller works from home for the Penn-Del Women of Purpose Team while raising three little girls with her husband. She fell in love with Jesus at a young age and felt the call into full-time ministry as a teenager. It is her desire for every woman to know how cherished they are by their creator, and that they are never forgotten and never hidden from the one who loves them most. This post was written for penndelwomenofpurpose.org.
