“Seminary dropout truely came into a niche. A need to fill a gap and did so very well. Being both thought provoking and relatable, Shane does a wonderful job working through his personal convictions about the gap between the layity (did i spell that right?) and the seminary graduates. By...”Read full review »

“I don’t understand why these churches who are new to including women in leadership don’t look at other faith traditions and learn from them. The Methodists, Episcopalians, Presbyterians, for example, have included women as leaders for a few decades now. “Best practices,” have been established....”Read full review »

“Thank you for sharing your women in ministry sermon with the world. Thank you for hiring your new female pastor. As a woman in ministry myself we need the voices of men who support women, not because we are women but because we are human beings-beloved children of God.”
