“It’s not easy. People still have lots to say about how women do this job that has been traditionally held by men.” — Lauren Efird
As senior pastor at Greenwood Forest Baptist Church in Cary, Lauren Efird has this advice for young clergywomen: “It might not be easy; it might not happen when you think it should happen,” she says. “It might not be what you thought it would be, or it might not look like what you thought it would look like. But if God is calling you, stay the course.”
