Calendars are filled with events, Bible studies, and fellowships for other women to connect, engage, and dig deep, while I\u2019m hustling around tending to all the tasks, keeping each plate spinning. Don\u2019t get me wrong\u2014I\u2019ve found significant fulfillment in leading and serving those around me. But I\u2019ve often hit seasons of discouragement and isolation, flooded with the lie that I\u2019ll never get what those I\u2019m leading are experiencing. Navigating these experiences requires intentionality, wisdom, and not just in our personal walk with Christ, but also in the relationships we cultivate around us. Leading with community isn't just a suggestion\u2014it\u2019s a necessity. Here are four ways we can lean into community in various seasons of ministry."}
