Episode 93: Legacies of Love
17 minutes ago
17 minutes ago
Remembering her ordination is necessarily tied up with stories, Eileen Campbell-Reed tells us. It means tending to the legacies of love that nurtured a calling, and being intentional about the ways we might carry out that legacy in these impossible times.
Have a listen to this story of ordination, and consider what following a calling means. This story of celebration and remembrance is also a day of celebration for the thousands of women ordained to ministry. It is also a lament for the thousands who might be called and yet do not (or will not) know the blessing of ordination because their denomination or their church does not recognize their gifts and calling. Many occasions for vocational loss, and grief.
Even when all the best circumstances and context and the Spirit come together for an ordination, we are still living in what feel like impossible times to serve God, the church, and a beautiful and broken world. Take courage friends. The world needs your gifts. Now more than ever.

Imagine advocating for a place where women and lgbtiqa+ people preach and lead most Sundays. A place where seminary students seek to learn from wise pastors. Where every age person from youngest to eldest has a place and a role in the ministry, education, and worship of the congregation.
Eileen Campbell-Reed offers 10 questions to inspire our #pastoralimagination to advocating for women. Have a look at more questions for better advocacy, here. For more ways to advocate for women in ministry, have a look at the work of Baptist Women in Ministry, here.

Episode 91: Ask The Children
Monday Oct 21, 2024
Monday Oct 21, 2024
Whatever ministry we are considering, it is profoundly important that we ask the children. After we ask them, we must listen.
Eileen Campbell-Reed discusses her recent experience in a cohort to prioritize the well-being of children. The Children’s Defense Fund shaped this thriving congregations cohort to recalibrate our ministries by listening to young people. Rev. Dr. Starsky Wilson, president and chief executive of CDF is asking us to prioritize the dignity, hope and joy of children in all our work. He is asking us to participate in “unleashing the joy of growing up.”
How do we begin unleashing that joy? Here are 12 questions to ask the children in our ministry settings.

Episode 90: Called to Ministry
Monday Nov 13, 2023
Monday Nov 13, 2023
You who are called by God. We know you have heard it.
Someone saying surely you misheard. That you don’t know what you are doing. You see the problems in the Church and the world, and you are ready with thoughtful and creative ways forward.
They may say you are too young. Too old. Too busy raising children. Or too single. Too ambitious. Driven. Too distracted. Too much.
They miss out on seeing you. The full you. The person God is calling to this work. This episode offers encouragement and a blessing for those days when you remember your calling. Learn more, here.

"You're feeling vocational grief." 3MMM Host Eileen Campbell-Reed shares this realization, and what it meant for her. In this episode, an excerpt from our All Saints Day Virtual Service, we invite you to take time to honor your loss and grief.
You may want to gather up a piece of paper and a marker or pen. As you listen, let yourself pay attention to your own spiritual well-being by giving a little space to your vocational losses and grief. The prayer offered by Kali Cawthon-Freels gives voice to the #vocationalgrief many ministers and leaders have shared.
