She sees what God wants for you and pushes you to that, explained Morris. Today while women in ministry are more accepted, they continue to face inequities across all denominations. Garricks advice to other women seeking to answer their call is fast and pray, dont be a lone ranger, have a mentor/pastor that can help lead and cultivate them, and finally, be willing to listen to wise counsel.
