KRISTEN'S STATUS
Due to mean comments on some social media venuesβsome about Kristen in particular, some about women in general who are engaged in doing any kind of ministryβI have found it necessary to clarify Kristen's relationship with Soothkeep Ministries Inc.
First of all, she is an employee of Soothkeep Ministries. She is operating in an official capacity. I hired her to do what she is doing.
Secondly, her official position is social media manager. But she does far more than that. Her main duties include helping the other moderators on livestreams, setting up my livestreams, making YouTube shorts, connecting with my website administrator when needed, setting up new social media venues, setting up podcasting venues, setting up new video outlets, interacting with social media companies, posting on my website and substack, posting on social media (most is my material, some is her material), answering folks on social media, answering emails, helping out with ministry invites to far flung regions like Africa and Asia, doing research for me, reminding me about things when I need reminding, and doing whatever else needs to get done.
Thirdly, she is greatly appreciated. Her help has been a HUGE blessing. She is an answer to prayer. Nita and I think she is doing an outstanding job.
Fourthly, she is a trusted friend. Our views on the important doctrinal issues are the same. I have given her great freedom to post and interact on behalf of Soothkeep Ministries.
Fifthly, cheers to all the godly women out there who know full well that they can't be in formal pastoral ministry, yet sense the calling of God to be used in encouragement and edification, even as he used Phillip's daughters and Lydia.
