Book Nook - Wired to Lead: Being the Leader the Church Didn’t Think You Could Be

 

Suzanne Nadell, an accomplished journalist and news director, announces the release of her new book, Wired to Lead, a powerful resource designed to equip Christian women to thrive in leadership roles, particularly within male-dominated environments. Drawing on her extensive experience in newsrooms, Nadell shares invaluable lessons learned outside the church, providing a unique perspective on justice, ethics, and bridging the gender divide. Many Christian women feel called to lead but are unsure how to navigate a world often dominated by men. They face unconscious bias and struggle to have their gifts fully accepted within the church. These women often find that the lessons they need to lead effectively are not being taught within the church walls. They may even be discouraged from pursuing their callings. This lack of support can leave women feeling sidelined, underestimated, and unqualified simply because of their gender. Wired to Lead offers a roadmap for Christian women to: dismantle unconscious biases, mirroring how Jesus engaged with those on the margins; love all their neighbors by expanding their understanding of who their neighbor is and acting swiftly to meet their needs; do what's right because it’s right, even when it requires courage and vulnerability; and speak the truth in love by having radically candid, brutally honest, crucial, and fierce conversations. Additionally, the book helps women bridge the gender divide by ditching limiting stereotypes and supporting men who champion women; employ personal care and growth strategies to avoid burnout and live a balanced life; and be the solution by looking out for other women and paving the way for future generations of leaders. Nadell’s book challenges the church to step up and support women, providing mentorship and empowerment. It encourages the church to be a catalyst for justice and equality. "Wired to Lead" calls on the church to recognize the gifts of women and champion them to thrive in their God-given callings. Suzanne Nadell is an award-winning journalist and news director dedicated to making a difference both inside and outside the newsroom. With a career spanning over three decades, Nadell has led teams in high-pressure environments, navigating complex ethical and social issues. Her passion for truth and justice, combined with her deep Christian faith, has driven her to create this essential resource. Nadell has led news teams in Atlanta; Pittsburgh, Pa.; and Tulsa, Okla. She was also part of the news team at three stations in Florida and one in Tennessee. She is an active member of Atlanta Christian Church, where she and her husband, Michael, are raising their teenage son, Price. Nadell’s experiences have taught her valuable lessons about leadership, humility, and grace, which she shares candidly in Wired to Lead. Wired to Lead is available in print, EPUB, and EPDF formats.
