237 | Serving with Stillness: Cultures, Unity & God’s Guidance, with Spyridoula Fotinis

Many Christian women professionals and servant leaders feel the tension between the responsibilities they carry and the longing to remain grounded in Christ while serving across cultures, communities, and complex spaces.

In a world where leadership often feels loud, fast, and constantly demanding, faithful leadership can look surprisingly different—quiet, discerning, and deeply rooted in God’s presence.

And what a joy to know that there are young women who are embarking on this journey of servant leadership, interested in addressing global issues while following Christ.

Spyridoula Fotinis is one of these young leaders and I had the joy of interviewing her in Renewal Conversations.

From her work at the United Nations, with the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops, to her time studying social systems in Finland, Spyridoula has learned that leadership shaped by faith is not about striving, but about being attuned to God, to people, and to the quiet spaces where clarity emerges.

In this Renewal Conversation, you will hear about:
🔅 Spyridoula's journey of faith and how the process of questioning can be a way of deepening our relationship with God.
🔅 How our global worldview can impact our faith and connection with others.
🔅 What silence looks like in another culture.
🔅 The psychological meaning of the Third Individuation during our lifetime.
🔅 Beautiful and simple nuggets of renewal.

One of Spyridoula's favorite Bible verses relates to her experience with silence - "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!" Psalm 46:10 (NKJV)
