Episode Description:
In this episode of A Theology of Hustle, I sit down with Dr. Eun K. Strawser—physician, pastor, and author of You Were Never Meant to Lead Alone. Dr. Strawser shares her story of moving from West Philadelphia to Hawaii, where she lives out a co-vocational calling: practicing medicine and leading a church.
We talk about the challenges of leadership in the church, why shared leadership matters, and how humility and cultural awareness shape ministry. Dr. Strawser also shares the story behind her ordination, insights on balancing family and ministry, and what it really takes to empower local leaders.
