Pillar Women Ep. 11 - Introducing Betsy GÓmez
OVERVIEW
In this episode of the Pillar Network Podcast, Sarah Rogers sits down with Betsy Gómez, who recently joined her in serving as a Pillar Women’s Ministry Coordinator, to share the story behind her life, ministry, and love for the local church.
Betsy shares how the Lord saved her as a teenager but later confronted her with a deeper understanding of the gospel that reshaped her view of womanhood, ministry, and faithfulness in the home. Sarah and Betsy talk about church planting, motherhood across different seasons, the role of women in strengthening the church, and the importance of rooting our lives in Christ rather than in our accomplishments.
Throughout the conversation, Betsy reflects on how the gospel reorders our loves, reshapes our priorities, and teaches us to flourish within the good limitations God gives us.
HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE EPISODE
“Sometimes we disconnect saving grace from the grace that trains us to live in godliness.”
It was much easier for me to serve publicly than to embrace the quiet faithfulness required in my home.”
“The grace that saved me also reorders my loves and my priorities.”
“Women have played a vital role in our church plant. In many ways, they reflect what mothers do in the home: nurturing, caring, and strengthening the body.”
“Our church is more beautiful because of the faithful ministry of its women.”
“Motherhood has given me new opportunities to cling to the gospel.”
“I am deeply passionate about the local church because in a world that is increasingly individualistic, with endless online options to get whatever we want, the church remains God’s design for discipleship and flourishing among His people.”
“The affirmation of my local church in the things I do outside of the church has been key, because they are the ones who know me, keep me accountable, and want me to flourish.”
“The only way to be faithful in any season is to root your life in the faithfulness of Christ.”
“When our identity is anchored in Christ, everything we do can become an act of worship.”
