Episode 121: A conversation with pastor, evangelist, and professor Elise Wood. In this episode, Pastor Elise and our podcast host, Mykelti Blum, talk about lessons Pastor Elise has learned being a female in ministry. Pastor Elise is passionate about reaching the next generation for the Lord and training up young people in vocational ministry. She shares about how God is Who calls us into ministry, and He is looking for our obedience—not a perfect performance. Pastor Elise has a lot of wisdom and experiences that we know you will be incredibly blessed by!
