In this episode, newly ordained Reverend Leona Chen of EFC LA to talk about what it really takes for a woman to answer God's call to pastor and preach. Leona shares candidly about the moment she first wondered if she was sinning against God by leading a church, how therapy and community helped her work through layers of imposter syndrome, and why she ultimately pursued ordination. She also reflects on co-pastoring alongside her husband, navigating motherhood in ministry, and the practical advice she'd give any woman wrestling with her call. A deeply honest and encouraging conversation for any woman wondering if there's a place for her at the table.
