2016 MLC General Session with Carolyn Custis James
Carolyn Custis James (BA in Sociology, MA in Biblical Studies) is an award-winning author who thinks deeply about what it means to be a female follower of Jesus in a postmodern world. As a cancer survivor, she is grateful to be alive and determined to address the issues that matter most. Her speaking and writing ministry is dedicated to addressing the deeper needs which confront both women and men as they endeavor to extend God’s kingdom together in a messy and complicated world. Her books have been described as “provocative,” “honest,”” and “ground-breaking.”
Carolyn blogs at WhitbyForum, MissioAlliance.com, and Huffington Post/Religion. She is an adjunct faculty member at Biblical Theological Seminary in Pennsylvania, a consulting editor for Zondervan’s Exegetical Commentary Series on the New Testament, and a contributing editor for Leadership Journal. In 2013, Christianity Today named her one of the 50 evangelical women to watch. She speaks regularly at church conferences, colleges and other Christian organizations both in the US and abroad and is a visiting lecturer at various theological seminaries.
This is the general session presentation that Carolyn presented at the 2016 Mission Leaders Conference.
