60. When Women Step Back: Why the Church Is Losing Its Daughters and How We Can Welcome Them Back
Description
For the first time in decades, men are attending church more than women, and Gen Z women are disengaging the fastest. In this candid, hope-centered episode, Jeannette explores why so many women are stepping back, not from Jesus, but from church cultures that silence their voices, limit their gifts, or feel unsafe and exhausting.
Drawing on new Barna data, Scripture, and real conversations with women, she offers four big reasons behind the trend and practical steps any church can take now: listen deeply, elevate women’s leadership, rebuild belonging for singles and single moms, and prioritize discipleship over mere attendance. This is a gentle challenge and an invitation to build communities where women and men lead shoulder to shoulder.
