In this episode, Courtney and Missie ask Am-Jo these questions:
—How did you first sense that you were called into ministry? 
—Tell us about your passion for teen girls. Why do you love this age in particular?
—What have you learned about the differences in the various generations: how they serve the Church, how to lead them well, how to wisely incorporate them into leadership, and how they show up in the workforce?
—How have you prepared your church as you have been a part of starting a women’s ministry from scratch?
—For those who may feel called to serve as a women’s minister on staff at a church, what should they expect? 
—What has helped you maintain such longevity in ministry? 
—Tell us about your newest Bible study.
—What is one final piece of advice you would leave with women who want to honor God through their vocational calling?
