Walking the Path of Allyship: Men Supporting Women in Ministry
For women and men to thrive equally in ministry, the church needs male allies who are committed to supporting women in their callings. Allies in Ministry provides a practical, research-based pathway for men who desire to support women in ministry but may feel uncertain about how to act or worried about doing the wrong thing.
Building on the foundations of his previous book, Together in Ministry, Rob Dixon presents seven proven steps to becoming an effective ally, grounded in qualitative research, real-life examples, and biblical insights. With action-oriented suggestions, reflection questions in every chapter, and inspirational true stories, Allies in Ministry is a vital resource for helping the church become a community where women can thrive in ministry in equal measure.

"Allies in Ministry offers a thoughtful, sober reflection and inspired pathway forward for men supporting women. I found myself longing for more of this kind of embodied partnership."
Dorina Lazo Gilmore-Young, author of Redeemer:God's Lovingkindness in the Book of Ruth
"I admire how Rob Dixon's work integrates Scriptural foundations with contemporary evidence. It is an honest conversation that prioritizes unity and hopeful possibility rather than casting judgment. Rob writes with an appropriate balance of tenderness and firm conviction, providing space for reflection and application. This book is a win for the kingdom, and the church will benefit when individuals read this book and implement the truths that are unpacked about God's original intent for women and men in ministry and the unique opportunity men are given to serve as allies to women."
