Traditionally, history has been focused on politics and big ideas, which has lent itself to mostly men. … But women’s history challenges us to look beyond those main names or those figures at the top of the pyramid. Who were the people who were supporting things on the ground level, or behind the scenes? I think women’s history helps us see that you can…
…o that for a living, and I have to pinch myself every single day — ‘Oh my goodness; this is too good to be true!’ I do believe that the Lord has a calling on each and every one of our lives, and this is what I get to do.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5Ywj1hZFV8 Leslie grew up in the church, and began leading worship for her church’s youth group at age 14. “Worship leading is one thing in my life that hasn’t changed,” she says. “That’s where I…
