Episode Description:
We need bold women of faith in the marketplace in this fallen world. Right now, there are 45 million women in the workplace that believe in Jesus. Today’s Guests, Catherine Gates and Amy Cedrone, are equipping women to walk Boldly in Christ through professional development with a faith-forward perspective. Every leader is familiar with diversity, equity, and inclusion, but Catherine and Amy say something is missing in that formula – belonging. So many informal work structures allow men to connect and belong, but fewer of these opportunities exist for women. These bold women of faith are bridging this gap. This episode is important for every Christian leader who considers their work as their mission field. You might just be the only experience someone has with Christianity. Don’t miss the opportunity to be the church at work.
