The Hidden Cost of Leading Alone | Carrie Williams
Aug 18, 202636 minS1
Carrie Williams has been in rooms that most women in ministry never get to enter. She helped launch Eleven22 in Jacksonville. She led Truth Republic. She now serves as Executive Director of Exponential NEXT, equipping current and next-generation leaders to navigate the future of the church. And through all of it, she has been building something most women in ministry quietly ache for but rarely find: a room full of people who actually understand what they carry. In this conversation, Melissa sits down with her longtime friend Carrie Williams to talk about what it means to lead in ministry without navigating alone — what it costs, what it looks like to build the right community around you, and why the women who go furthest are the ones who figured out they were never meant to do it by themselves. Keywords: women in ministry, ministry leadership, faith-based leadership, church multiplication, community, belonging, calling, women of faith, leadership development. KEY TAKEAWAYS What Carrie has learned about community from decades of building it intentionally — inside churches, inside networks, and inside rooms most women never get access to What the woman in ministry is actually missing when she leads alone — named specifically, not generically What it looks like to build the kind of relationships that sustain a calling for the long haul — and where most women in ministry stop short of actually having them RESOURCES & LINKS Individual Membership → member.ministrychick.com/courses/membership Free Clarity Journal → member.ministrychick.com/courses/clarity-journal Connect with Carrie → carrie@exponential.org Exponential NEXT → [ exponential.org/next or current URL] Church Membership → ministrychick.com/the-church
You Were Never Meant to Lead Alone: Hannah Conway on Identity, Community & What Keeps Women Standing
Aug 11, 202634 minS1
She is doing all of it. Women’s minister. Communications director. Seminary student. Author. Military wife. Mom. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, she has had to figure out how to keep showing up — through the moves, the transitions, the seasons where her entire support system reshuffled and nobody around her fully understood what she was carrying. In this conversation, Melissa sits down with Hannah Conway — bestselling author, women’s minister, and someone who knows firsthand what it costs to lead in ministry without the right people in your corner — to talk about identity, community, and what it actually takes to stay standing for the long haul. Keywords: women in ministry, ministry leadership, faith-based leadership, identity in Christ, military wife in ministry, community, belonging, calling, women of faith. KEY TAKEAWAYS Why identity in Christ isn’t just a theological concept — it’s the thing that keeps a woman from losing herself in the middle of everything she’s carrying What the military wife experience teaches about community — how to build it fast, hold it loosely, and why women in ministry need those same skills What Hannah would tell the woman in ministry who is doing it all and quietly running out of people who understand what that actually costs Individual Membership → member.ministrychick.com/courses/membership Free Clarity Journal → member.ministrychick.com/courses/clarity-journal Connect with Hannah → IG: @hannahconway.author In Case You Forget https://www.amazon.com/dp/1087773709/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_X36HF7J0H33JX10CWPHD?linkCode=ml1&tag=livinglifef04-20&linkId=5d4cef5e710ee40f47001a782f711dae Faith Like a Girl https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08QD75WTM/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_SNJZBMT6RYKJ4YMSBHRF?linkCode=ml1&tag=livinglifef04-20&linkId=fd2503ce96c90d298e99f8d3c4c0ed25 YouVersion Bible App → Faith Foundations: How to Follow Jesus / Five Reminders of Your True Identity in Jesus Church Membership → ministrychick.com/the-church
Someone handed you a smaller version of yourself a long time ago. A smaller vision of what you could do, what you could lead, what your voice was worth in the church. And somewhere along the way you started to believe it — not because it was true, but because nobody handed you anything bigger. In this conversation, Melissa sits down with Jane Doerman — writer, speaker, podcaster, and creative — to talk about what it looks like to cast a bigger vision for who God actually made you to be, why your story is one of the most powerful leadership tools you have, and why the church is missing something essential when women's voices are absent from the room. Keywords: women in ministry, ministry leadership, faith-based leadership, women of faith, calling, storytelling, women's leadership in the church, vision. Key Takeaways: What it looks like to cast a bigger vision for yourself than the one you've been handed — and what gets in the way of believing it Why your story is not just personal — it is a leadership tool that builds the kind of connection no strategy can manufacture What the church actually loses when women's voices are missing from leadership — and what becomes possible when they're not Free Clarity Journal → member.ministrychick.com/courses/clarity-journal Connect with Jane Doerman → [jane's website/socials + What Even Is This? podcast] Individual Membership → member.ministrychick.com/courses/membership Church Membership → ministrychick.com/the-church
What Getting Clear Actually Means — And Why Most Women Skip the Step That Makes It Possible
Jul 14, 202621 minS1
Everybody says get clear. Very few people tell you what that actually means or where the process keeps breaking down. If you’ve tried to get clear on your calling or your next step and ended up more confused than when you started, this conversation is for you. Melissa Mashburn and Dr. Brandy Baxter get specific about what clarity actually is, where most women in ministry get stuck, and why the step everyone skips is the one that makes everything else possible. Keywords: women in ministry, ministry leadership, faith-based leadership, clarity, calling, next steps, summer, women of faith. KEY TAKEAWAYS What clarity actually is — and what it isn’t — so you stop chasing the feeling and start doing the work The specific reason most women in ministry stay stuck in the same confusion season after season What changes in October for the woman who does the clarity work in July — and how to take the first step this week RESOURCES & LINKS Free Clarity Journal → member.ministrychick.com/courses/clarity-journal Clarity Kickstart Kit ($27) → member.ministrychick.com/courses/clarity-kickstart Individual Membership → member.ministrychick.com/courses/membership Church Membership → ministrychick.com/the-church
June is almost over. Summer is here. And for the woman in ministry, summer is the one season where the pace actually slows down enough to do something different — if she decides to use it that way. This episode is about making that decision before July starts and the moment passes. Melissa Mashburn and Dr. Brandy Baxter close out June with one honest question: now that you've heard all of this — what are you actually going to do differently? Keywords: women in ministry, ministry leadership, faith-based leadership, rest, summer, rhythms, sustainability, women of faith. KEY TAKEAWAYS What refueling actually looks like in her real life — not a retreat, not a sabbatical, the week she is actually living Why she already knows what fills her and the real reason she hasn't done it yet One specific decision she can make before July starts that changes how she leads in the fall Individual Membership → member.ministrychick.com/courses/membership Free Clarity Journal → member.ministrychick.com/courses/clarity-journal Church Membership → ministrychick.com/the-church
Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
