Hey friends! I am excited to connect with you. My name is Andrea Lennon, and it is my honor to serve as the director of women at Lifeway. I have been in the trenches of ministry to women for years! I served as the women’s ministry specialist at the Arkansas Baptist State Convention for ten years. During that time, I also traveled around the United States and encouraged women to know, live, and share the truth found in God’s Word through my teaching and writing ministry. What an honor to love and serve women with the beautiful gospel of Jesus Christ!
Along the way, I built a physical and virtual library of helpful tools I used for myself and passed along to others. In this blog, I want to share my library with you! I hope this list encourages and equips you as you lead and serve women. Please bookmark this blog so you can come back to it in the future when questions arise or you need leadership direction or a resource.
