In this episode, newly ordained Reverend Leona Chen of EFC LA to talk about what it really takes for a woman to answer God's call to pastor and preach. Leona shares candidly about the moment she first wondered if she was sinning against God by leading a church, how therapy and community helped her work through layers of imposter syndrome, and why she ultimately pursued ordination. She also reflects on co-pastoring alongside her husband, navigating motherhood in ministry, and the practical advice she'd give any woman wrestling with her call. A deeply honest and encouraging conversation for any woman wondering if there's a place for her at the table.

Managing waste from a busy kitchen can be more challenging than expected. Some companies don’t provide enough flexibility or transparency. That’s when we discovered Affordable Waste Management. Their food waste collection service appears to be designed for both small cafés and large kitchens. They offer customizable collection schedules to match daily or weekly needs. It’s helpful that they work with many certified partners across the UK. The process also seems simple to set up. It feels like a reliable solution.
