#133: Summer Series: When Influence Becomes Ministry (Lydia’s Story)

Welcome to the kickoff of our summer series, Belonged All Along: Stories of Women Who Became Unexpected Vessels of Purpose. In this first episode, we’re stepping into the story of Lydia, a woman of influence, leadership, and hospitality who used what she already had to make room for God’s mission.

Though her story is short, Lydia’s obedience helped launch the early church in Philippi. She didn’t preach from a pulpit or hold a religious title, but she opened her heart, her home, and her hands—and through her yes, a movement was born.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your gifts, your leadership, or your presence really matter in the Kingdom… this episode is for you.
