She was honored to welcome author and Bible teacher, Jen Wilkin, who explained what God’s Word teaches about women and vocational calling and Tami Heim, President and CEO of Christian Leadership Alliance, who shared her work story and lessons she’s learned throughout her career.

It’s the privilege of Women & Work to be able to offer video of the event thanks to our friend Scott Lancaster, who graciously donated his time and talent. Before you watch, take a minute to get to know our accomplished speakers.
