Seven ways to spot a ‘BWW’ and why it matters

I’ll never be one of the ‘Blokes Worth Watching’ (BWW) nor will many of my friends that don’t fit.

I love leadership and evangelism. I want to invest precious years into mission and the future of the church, so I’m wondering how do I become one of the BWWs [as described in this article in last month's EN] ? How do I get mentored? How do I get invested in so that I can make a significant difference? The problem is, I can’t. I’m a woman. I’ll never be a ‘Bloke Worth Watching’ and neither will half of those made in the image of God.

The discussions on Twitter suggested that this was a historic and specific issue. That this was about men and favouritism. But as I read, I wondered to myself if anyone else had seen the other sizeable flaw. The one that struggles with the emphasis of the B in the BWW. The one that impacts half of those made in the image of God. The one that I noticed because I’m a woman.
