Believe it or not, if you’re reading this, you’re a leader. Some of us lead in ministries; some of us lead in our homes; some of us lead in our workplaces, so we all need to get equipped for leadership. And no matter where you lead, your leadership can be done for the glory of the Lord!
If you’re looking to get equipped for leadership, you’re in the right place. Below, you’ll find our favorite leadership resources for women, featuring books to events to a theology course. We hope these resources help you as you step into your calling to lead this year!
Without further ado, here’s our list for resources to help you get equipped for leadership!
