Walking the Path of Allyship: Men Supporting Women in Ministry
For women and men to thrive equally in ministry, the church needs male allies who are committed to supporting women in their callings. Allies in Ministry provides a practical, research-based pathway for men who desire to support women in ministry but may feel uncertain about how to act or worried about doing the wrong thing.
Building on the foundations of his previous book, Together in Ministry, Rob Dixon presents seven proven steps to becoming an effective ally, grounded in qualitative research, real-life examples, and biblical insights. With action-oriented suggestions, reflection questions in every chapter, and inspirational true stories, Allies in Ministry is a vital resource for helping the church become a community where women can thrive in ministry in equal measure.
In Allies in Ministry, Rob Dixon
- articulates a unique Christian approach to male allyship;
- provides a concrete, sequenced process for developing more men into more effective allies to women;
- draws insight from biblical teaching, real-life examples, and original research; and
- offers practical guidance to help transform good intentions into meaningful action for both women and men who want to create a culture of male allyship.
By exploring the Christian call to allyship and its role in spiritual formation, this book complements secular resources and fills a gap for ministry leaders. Building a ministry context marked by equal partnership takes intentionality and wisdom. Allies in Ministry points the way forward.
