Ministry and #MeToo
Episode 7
Power and What Women Can Do
Danielle Strickland
Sexual misconduct and abuse conversations often lead to discussions about power. In this episode of the Ministry and #MeToo learning journey, Danielle Strickland helps us understand what we all can do to speak truth into the darkness of abuse and disempowerment. Using an insightful exercise, leaders will realize that we all have power and also a choice. We can choose to use our power to stay in darkness–or we can use our power, like Jesus did, to move forward with love.
