Episode Five: Melissa Lipsett and Being a Fiercer Leader

Edward Vaughan

Melissa Lipsett is the Chief Operating Officer for Baptist World Aid Australia. In her ministry life she has been aware of forging a path for herself a female Christian leader. She is passionate for the Church to do better at hearing women's voices, and to make space for women at the leadership table.

Melissa's blunder? She feels she hasn't been fierce enough! She assumed that once she paved the way, other women would jump in behind her. She believes she hasn't been intentional enough in reaching out and bringing younger women with her. Her resolve is to get fiercer about women in leadership.

Also check out this fantastic opportunity at Baptist World Aid. Through their Matching Grant appeal, 'One plus One Equals A Better World For All', you can help our global neighbours in vulnerable situations move closer to the fullness of life God desires for each one of us. 

 Even a small donation can have a big impact. Through this campaign your donation will be helping God's work, providing real solutions for lifting people out of poverty, but you'll also get a tax benefit.  AND the Australian government will contribute to each donation.

 The Matching Grant appeal ends June 30 2021 so go here to take advantage of this offer.

 And we’ll see you next time on The Blunder Bus
