Miranda Reynolds: My Leadership Pathway

I’ve been moving toward leadership and ministry, in particular, since I was young.

Residency at Rocky Mountain Christian Church in CO has been a lot of fun with a healthy dose of difficulty to keep me humble. One area I’ve been especially focused on as a Worship Resident is learning to play guitar. My supervisor continues to gently nudge me to try new things, while ensuring that I’m all right spiritually and emotionally. 

The growth in confidence for me has been huge! Residency has provided me the courage to pursue ministry rather than continue only as a volunteer; plus, learning leadership soft skills has been much more valuable to me than any time I spent in a classroom while enrolled at a Christian college.

If you’re thinking ministry, I’d say, ‘Volunteer as much as possible and ask a ton of questions.’ Residency is the opportunity to learn AND fail in a safe place. Failure is to be expected to a certain degree, since we tend to learn from our mistakes. Be willing to fail and learn from it!

I’m Miranda Reynolds, and this is my leadership pathway.
