Remarkable Women in Ministry

This course tells the stories of ordinary women whom God used to make an extraordinary impact. From Phoebe and Priscilla in the early church, to Susanna Wesley, Joan of Arc, Rosa Parks, Saint Maria of Paris, Mother Teresa, Wangari Maathai, and Jarena Lee, each lesson explores how faith, courage, and quiet obedience can shape history. Along the way, the course also addresses practical realities for women serving in ministry today—mentorship, sustainability, and the call to lead from a place of spiritual overflow rather than exhaustion. Together, these lessons affirm that God calls and equips women for influence, service, and leadership in every generation.
