What Seminary Didn’t Teach Me About Public Policy

 Speaker: Rev. Lynn Holmes

Explore how public policy shapes our communities and discover faithful ways ministers can engage the public square with wisdom and courage.

Rev. Lynn Holmes is a Visiting Professor of the Practice at Duke University’s Sanford School of Public Policy whose distinguished career spans law, public policy, ethics, and government leadership. An ordained minister, former legislative counsel in the United States Senate, and North Carolina cabinet secretary, she brings decades of practical experience to teaching and helping leaders navigate the intersection of faith, policy, and public service. 

Join Baptist Women in Ministry for What Seminary Didn’t Teach Me, a virtual Lunch & Learn series that explores the practical, pastoral, and personal lessons ministers learn through lived experience.

On the first Tuesday of every month at 12:00 p.m. ET / 11:00 a.m. CT, ministry leaders and experts from a variety of fields will offer practical wisdom on topics that bridge theology and everyday ministry. From leadership and conflict management to finances, wellness, legal issues, administration, and other essential aspects of ministry, each session is designed to equip ministers with tools they can immediately put into practice.

Whether you are just beginning your ministry journey or are a seasoned leader, this series will provide fresh insights, meaningful conversation, and practical resources to help you thrive in your calling.

Register today and join us as we explore the lessons seminary didn’t teach—but every minister needs to know.
