Empowered To Lead
Empowered to Lead is the go-to podcast for Christian women who are ready to rise into courageous, Spirit-led leadership in the Church and the world. Hosted by Jeannette Cochran, pastor, leadership coach, and champion for women in ministry, this show speaks to women who are leading (or longing to lead) in churches, nonprofits, and faith-based spaces where women leaders have historically been excluded or sidelined. With over 20 years of experience in executive church leadership and a heart for equipping women, Jeannette brings biblical insight, practical wisdom, and unflinching honesty to every conversation. Each episode tackles the real challenges women face in leadership: navigating bias, overcoming self-doubt, leading in male-dominated environments, building influence, and staying spiritually grounded while doing it all. You’ll hear empowering teaching, honest conversations, and soul-deep encouragement that helps you lead with clarity, courage, and conviction. Because when women rise, the Church is renewed, the world is transformed, and everyone flourishes. If you’re ready to reclaim your voice, own your calling, and lead with boldness and purpose, this is your space. You are Empowered to Lead.
