Thanks for joining us at the unSeminary podcast. Today we’re talking with Taylor Scott-Reimer, a dynamic speaker, advocate, and author of She Believed: Recovering the Fierce Faith of the Women of Scripture — and Ourselves.



Is your church truly inviting the full participation of women? Are female leaders empowered to speak, shape, and serve—or are they silently sidelined? Tune in as Taylor shares a practical framework to help churches reframe the narrative, restore the practice, and reclaim the voice of women—so that the whole body of Christ can flourish.




* Ask for the woman’s point of view. // Many women in churches carry a quiet pain—their stories aren’t preached, their voices aren’t heard. Over time it teaches women to shrink their faith to a mold that stifles spiritual growth, creativity, and courage and signals that their contributions are secondary. It’s helpful to call women to the table and ask them what their experience has been in the church. Making room for honest conversations helps surface unseen perspectives and fosters a truly inclusive church culture.



* Three step framework. // Taylor’s book as a three step framework in recovering women’s spiritual growth in the church—reframing the narrative, restoring the practice, and rediscovering the voice. It begins with theology in how we teach, preach, and talk about women in scripture. How we create space for women to lead and serve in meaningful, visible ways is the important part of restoring the practice. In rediscovering the voice we help women reclaim agency and spiritual authority, allowing them to show up as their full selves.



* Representation shapes identity. // Representation matters. When women see female prophets, leaders, and teachers elevated in sermons and stories, they begin to recognize their own place in God’s story. It empowers new callings and unlocks courageous leadership.



* Reclaim your voice. // Taylor offers a free PDF resource titled 7 Days to Reclaim Your Voice, which reflects on seven women from Scripture to help women rediscover their spiritual boldness. Her book expands on these themes, providing a roadmap for deeper reflection and community engagement.



* Look closer at your teaching calendar. // Look at your calendar for the next few months. Who’s preaching? Whose stories are being told? Are female voices and stories included? Are women speaking? Use small groups or leadership meetings to open these discussions and create space for women to express what they long to hear from the pulpit.



* A Church that needs all of us. // The Church needs all its members—male and female—to live and lead fully. When women are invited to speak, lead, and preach, the entire Body is enriched. It’s not about tokenism; it’s about telling the whole story of God through the voices He has gifted.
