sW4H 26 | Helen Mitchell Leading Authentically at Work
Guests: Helen Mitchell
Ministry/Business: HelenMitchell.org; Biola University
As Christian working women, we are often faced with the tension of finding a balance between our workplace, family, and church. How can we lead confidently as the women God designed us to be and do the work God assigned us? Today’s show goes to Orange County, California, to speak with Helen Mitchell about unleashing Christian women to live and lead authentically in their workplaces – be it the marketplace, a nonprofit, or the home. Helen is the Director of the Talbot Center for Faith, Work & Economics at the Talbot School of Theology at Biola University and an Ethics and Leadership Professor in the Crowell School of Business at Biola University. She is also an author, speaker, and leadership and strategy coach. Helen’s leadership in the business world, the local church, and academia gives her the background to build bridges between the church and the marketplace. She is influencing the next generation of business leaders and women in the marketplace.
Helen met Jesus at the age of eight at a church camp and, at 15 years old, felt the call to pastoral ministry. She recalls telling the Lord that she would serve Him with her whole life. “No matter where?” God responded. She went on to an Executive role in AT&T and then helped architect the Marketplace Ministry at Saddleback Church, resulting in over 300 small groups across Southern California. Helen challenges us as women to step up and step out in our God-Given callings and purpose, but only after we fully step into our God-given identity.
