At ChurchLeaders, we read A LOT of blogs which helps when we choose the top Christian women leaders’ blogs. Let others know about these blogs by sharing them on your social platforms. Check out Socialwick and their wide range of social media services to get seen by your niche audience.
So in our never-ending search for good content, we thought we’d share the wealth! The following list is a compilation of blogs we’ve found that equip women in ministry or leadership positions. And while this is by no means a complete list (nor is it a list exclusively for women), we hope you find these blogs helpful as you strive to bring your best to work, the home or the ministry.
1. Anne Graham Lotz – Anne is proof the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Her father, Billy Graham, called her “the best preacher in the family,” and he very well may be right. Anne’s heart for evangelism and the grace with which she shares the gospel is tempered with wisdom and experience.
2. Propel Women – Christine Caine is the founder of the A21 campaign and an avid supporter of women in leadership. Her blog features a refreshing mix of voices geared toward anyone seeking to hone their leadership skills.
3. A Holy Experience – Ann Voskamp is the author of the best-selling One Thousand Gifts. She writes about the holy pleasures of motherhood, living in a farming community, being rejuvenated in God’s presence and belonging to the body of Christ.
4. Lynette Lewis – Lynette has experience climbing the corporate ladder, pastoring a church with her husband and (more recently) being a mother. Her experience of waiting to get married until she was 40, coupled with her strong gift of leadership, makes her an authority on the subject of fulfilling your calling whatever your life circumstances may be.

8. Gindi Vincent – Gindi is an attorney and mother who lends her informed voice to the discussion of leadership, fashion and faith.
9. Red Tent Living – This lovely blog draws its content from a host of gifted writers and invites the reader to recharge after a long day’s work. The site’s purpose is to “reframe femininity,” and likens itself to a patchwork quilt.

11. Lynne Hybels – Lynne and her husband, Bill, founded Willow Creek Community Church. Independent from the ministry of the church, Lynne works in the humanitarian arena in war-torn places like the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

13. Dr. Brenda Salter McNeil – Dr. Brenda is all about reconciliation. Her blog discusses ways believers can reach across “party lines” and practice the ministry of reconciliation. Her writing is informed and diverse, and she even includes a post every Friday about five things from around the web that are worth thinking about.
14. Carolyn Custis James is the author of Half the Church and Maelstrom. On her blog, Carolyn writes about gender issues, leadership and current events. Her perspective is grounded in Scripture and propelled by a desire to help others in the midst of our confusing culture.
15. Jasmine Holmes – Jasmine Holmes grew up as a pastor’s kid. Now she is a teacher and a writer. And while Jasmine is a wife and a mother, she describes her blog as “not a mommy blog.” She uses the space to explore the intersection of being a woman—whether one comes to that intersection single, married, with child or without. Jasmine writes on issues of race, identity, faith, and contentment. It’s sure to encourage you no matter what stage of life you find yourself in.

21. LifeWay Women’s Ministry with Chris Adams – this Lifeway blog features content from a host of writers with ministry experience.
22. Jamie the Very Worst Missionary – If you’re OK with a little colorful language now and then, and a completely raw account of being a missionary, Jamie’s blog is for you. She is concerned about hard issues like sex trafficking, addiction and helping people out of their messes. In other words: She’s hardcore (in a good way).
23. Mary DeMuth – Mary is a speaker, author and sexual abuse survivor who focuses on helping others be able to say “the old is gone—the new awaits.”
24. Authentic Intimacy – this blog is headed up by Dr. Juli Slattery and Linda Dillow, experts in the arena of sexuality. The Authentic Intimacy team seeks to equip women of all stages and walks of life to reclaim God’s design for sexuality and intimacy.
