Louisville Pastoral Study "Empowering Resilent Women Ministers: Unveiling the Fuel to Serve Amidst Misogyny"
Over 600 women in ministry across the U.S. shared their stories, struggles, and strengths in one of the most comprehensive studies of its kind. Conducted by Rev. Dr. Liz Ríos and Rev. Dr. Liz Mosbo VerHage, this research lifts up voices too often overlooked in church and academic spaces.
Unlike similar studies, Resilient Woman was shaped by two women scholar-practitioners who stand inside the very communities being studied. The result is a data-rich, heart-driven snapshot of what women in ministry are experiencing right now and what fuels their resilience, and what their resilience means for the future of the church.
Inside this free executive summary, you’ll find:
The purpose and scope of the study
Insights into the pressures and possibilities facing women ministers today
Practical implications for leaders, congregations, and institutions
Some voices from the study that say it all:
“Toxic misogyny is more pernicious than toxic racism for women.”
“Healthy women colleagues who see me fully keep me going.”
“My whole career has been a prophetic push—a challenge to the system.”
