Be Who Called You to Be with Melissa Mashburn Pt.1

I had a chance to sit down with my friend, Melissa Mashburn, a few weeks ago, and wow, how the Lord uses her in the lives of others is incredible! Melissa is so gifted in calling out the potential in others, encouraging women to take the risk, and "walks her talk." 

 

One of her many words of wisdom is this - "I don't have time to be who everyone else wants me to be and at the same time be who God created me to be." There is more of that in this week's episode so click the play button and let's connect!

 

Melissa helps female leaders find their community, own their leadership, and take the next step. She’s currently working on releasing a brand new book for women in the ministry (a “what to expect when you’re a woman and you go into ministry” book) in 2022. She’s also co-authored a leadership devotional book for women and leads the private Facebook community called Ministry Chick that serves over 2700 from all over the world. She’s a ministry leader, speaker, author, life-breakthrough coach, and ministry consultant, but her real heart is to be a champion and encourager for women who feel stuck and want to rise up and do what God is calling them to do but just don’t even know where to begin. She has served at four different churches of various sizes over the last 20 years giving her a wide range of experience. She currently serves at Southeast Christian Church which ministers to over 40,000 people weekly. She’s been married to her best friend Matt for over 28 years, they have two adult sons, Nick and Bailey, a beautiful daughter in love, Ashley (married to Nick), a future daughter in love, Jules (coming in July 2022), and five adorable fur-grandbabies.
