Connections, Community, and Cliques with Marian Jordan Ellis

In this episode, we sit down with Marian Jordan Ellis to talk about the importance of community in women’s ministry. Marian shares why leaders can’t thrive in isolation, how discipleship strengthens the church, and the practices that help women connect beyond surface level. She also reflects on what it looks like to lead while still needing genuine friendship.

We touch on seasons of loneliness, navigating resistance with grace, and overcoming comparison in leadership. It’s a hope-filled conversation for anyone committed to cultivating authentic connection among women!
