Ep 2081: Why Women Lead Differently—And Why That’s a Good Thing

Jim and Martha Brangenberg sit down with Catherine Gates to discuss how Christian women experience work differently from men. Many struggle to find faith-based support in professional settings or feel overlooked in church discussions about work. Women often face unique challenges—being unheard in meetings, lacking mentorship, or feeling pressured to lead like men.

Catherine is dedicated to ministering to these women, creating spaces where they can grow in confidence, develop leadership skills, and embrace their God-given talents. Through her work, she has united faith-based organizations to expand mentorship, leadership development, and spiritual growth opportunities for women across industries.

She also highlights the biblical foundation for women in leadership, emphasizing that Jesus actively included women in His ministry. Resources like sheWorks4Him ( https://www.iwork4him.com/sheworks4him ) the book she co-authored, offer real-life stories of women living out their faith at work. For those seeking church-based support, Developing Female Leaders ( https://www.amazon.com/Developing-Female-Leaders-Minefields-Potential/dp/1400210925 ) by Kadi Cole and Ministry Chick ( https://www.ministrychick.com ) provide encouragement for women in ministry roles. Catherine’s message is clear: Women don’t have to lead like men—they should lead as God created them, with strength, wisdom, and faith.
