In this episode, Courtney answered these questions from Courtney Moore and Missie Branch:

—How did God lead you to this point as the Director of Women’s Initiatives at TGC? —How would you encourage women trying to discern where God is leading them career-wise? —What are some of the difficult things you’ve experienced in ministry to women? How did you overcome those? —As director, where do you see your gifting and daily tasks align? —How does your team decide on each TGC Women’s Conference theme such as “Behold & Believe?” —For women who are looking to plan and host their own events or conferences, what should they know? —What does it look like for you to prepare a message or write a curriculum/book? —How do you distinguish (or do you?) your own personal time with the Lord vs prep time for teaching/writing? —How old were you when you published your first book? What should our younger listeners who’d like to publish know? —How do you balance serving in a parachurch organization which may involve traveling, etc. vs serving in your local church? —What’s 1 piece of advice you’d leave with women who want to honor God through their vocational calling?
