Encouraging Daughters to Lead

Raising daughters with a leadership call upon their lives requires seeing and responding to the path God is crafting in their lives. Honestly, we are a part of a tribe that theologically embraces women in ministry and leadership, but sometimes, in practice, we are more comfortable with traditional roles. As a Dad, I had a front row seat over a couple of decades of the struggles and challenges of a young women feeling a call to ministry in a world where men in lead pastor roles just makes some people more comfortable.

We took the opportunity to have a conversation with our daughter, Kelly Delp, who is a young single woman serving as the lead pastor of The Bridge International Church in Paris, France. We discussed our experiences during her developmental years and the challenges, but mostly the joys, of her journey toward God’s great adventure calling upon her life.
