In our latest episode of our “Sheroes of the Faith series,” Jo Saxton shares about her favorite woman in the Bible, Deborah. And let us tell you. Jo absolutely makes her story come alive. Honestly, Deborah’s story couldn’t be more timely. Her courageous leadership during an extremely devastating and difficult time in history provides us with the example we all need for how to boldly lead during the Covid-19 crisis and its aftermath. In a world that often puts us into prescribed boxes, Jo’s wisdom on how we can break free of stereotypes we might feel trapped in and confidently embrace our God-given gifts is a treasure. And if that’s not enough, Kat and Jo also discuss Jo’s latest book, Ready to Rise. Regardless of wherever you find yourself in life right now, you will find courage and freedom in today’s episode.
Jo Saxton, a Londoner born to Nigerian immigrants, is an author, speaker, podcast host, and leadership coach. After founding an initiative supporting women who lead, Jo now coaches female leaders around the world through her online leadership development program and advises organizations on how to develop and support women in leadership. Jo has written books on leadership, identity, and legacy, including The Dream of You. She lives in Minneapolis with her husband, Chris, and their two daughters.
