Your Daughters Shall Prophesy: Amplifying the Voice and Place of Christian Women
Ebook
In Your Daughters Shall Prophesy, Todd Korpi charts the course for what it means to come alongside female pastors and leaders in order to move beyond being a passive supporter to being a passionate advocate for Christian women. Drawing from theology, leadership studies, practical experience, and the testimonies of women in ministry, Korpi addresses some of the most pressing issues in egalitarian churches and organizations today. He answers pressing issues such as:
-Whether men really are the "spiritual head" of the home.
-How our best intentions to help can actually harm women in ministry.
-How Christians need a better script for lust, power, and sexuality.
“A resounding wake-up call to men who want to be allies to women and not just lip-service supporters! Thank you, Todd Korpi, for pointing the way with humility, grace, and humor for what it will look like for men and women to be true partners in the gospel.”
—Sheila Wray Gregoire, founder of BareMarriage.com
“Todd Korpi is a voice of healing to every woman who has been disempowered because of her gender. This book takes you on an informative, engaging, and empowering journey. Korpi gives spiritual and intellectual depth to the pain women in ministry have wrestled with for centuries. His transparency moved me, and his practical examples and strategies gave me hope for the future. Your Daughters Shall Prophesy is groundbreaking and culture-shifting.”
—Petra Scott, president and CEO, The Road to Jerusalem
“In Your Daughters Shall Prophesy you will find powerful practical insights on how to bring change. We need to employ Passover power, instead of Babel power, if we want to move beyond diversity, equity, and inclusion towards true empowerment of the women in our lives and in our churches. This book is truly a must-read with lots of eye-openers!”
—Sebastiaan van Wessem, lead pastor, Celebration Church Netherlands
“Your Daughters Shall Prophecy is a much-needed resource for the church. It is a powerful and inspiring resource that offers practical strategies for empowering women to lead, minister, and serve in their communities. Todd Korpi approaches challenging theological issues with sensitivity and a deep understanding of the biblical foundations for gender equality. As co-pastoring leaders, this work is near and dear to our hearts. Put this book at the top of your reading list.”
—Tim and Jen Timberlake, senior pastors, Celebration Church Jacksonville, FL
“This latest contribution by Todd Korpi to the relevant conversation regarding the shared role of women as equals with men in relation to the full expression of the kingdom of God is nothing short of masterful. There are many books being written on women in ministry in the current milieu. I am persuaded that this one will have a lasting impact for generations to come. Your Daughters Shall Prophesy is an essential contribution to a crucial conversation.”
—Mark J. Chironna, founding and lead pastor, Church on the Living Edge
“Todd Korpi is a pastor and a scholar. As a scholar, his work provides an engaging, thoughtful, and provocative challenge to the church, particularly male pastors. As a pastor, he recognized the significant leadership gift in his wife and took humble action steps to elevate her leadership voice ahead of his own in their church. He does not challenge men to walk where he has not already gone first. His book provides practical tools for those who want to support female leaders.”
—Anna Morgan, lead pastor, Word of Life Church
“In Your Daughters Shall Prophesy, Todd Korpi deftly and sensibly navigates context and biblical narrative surrounding the topic of women in ministry and egalitarianism. Through honest stories from his own life and marriage, along with those of others, Korpi challenges inconsistencies in one’s support (rhetoric) and practice (action) regarding women in ministry. This book assists the reader in reimagining life in Christ in an egalitarian manner both in the home and church.”
—Katja and Phil Zarns, co-creators of Eclectic Egalitarian
“The lived experience of women in the church is too often marked by men who are either ambivalent or openly hostile to their roles. Men, like Todd Korpi, have the credentials and the insight to make the case for women’s leadership where often women making that same case are dismissed. Korpi’s work cannot be ignored as he presents both the theological case and the practical benefits of women’s leadership, influence, and service. This will be a book that pastors, lay people, and academics will value.”
—Joy Qualls, associate professor of communication studies, Biola University
