Pastoring Without Your Permission

Rev. Charlotte on

Faith in the Deep South

AT A GLANCE: Faith, Calling, Courage

wayfind collective brand foundation

For many women in the South, calling and culture have always wrestled for space.

In this week’s episode, Pastoring Without Your Permission, Reverend Charlotte joins Linds for an unflinching, grace-filled conversation about what it means to lead with conviction in a place that still questions a woman’s right to wear the collar.

From her early days growing up in Georgia to twelve years pastoring in North Georgia, Charlotte shares the quiet resistance of showing up again and again — for her people, for her faith, and for herself. Together, they unpack the realities of shepherding outside the lines: preaching love in rooms that prefer silence, and finding courage in a calling that refuses to let go.

This episode isn’t about the politics of gender or religion — it’s about the cost of compassion. It’s about the brave act of staying soft in hard places, and the women who keep the light on when the church goes dark.

Listen to Pastoring Without Your Permission wherever you get your podcasts — and be reminded that faith isn’t always tidy, but it’s always worth it.
