In this episode, we sit down with Jayne Johnston, Vice President of Patient Access at Memorial Hermann and the 2025 Chair of the Women’s Resource Power of the Purse event — a signature fundraiser supporting free financial education and career development programs for women and girls across Greater Houston.
Jayne brings her passion for purpose-driven leadership, her belief in community impact, and her personal journey balancing career, service, and motherhood. She shares how the Power of the Purse event isn’t just about luxury handbags — it’s about empowering women to take control of their finances, futures, and lives.
As we explore the intersection of calling, connection, and commitment. Jayne opens up about what drives her to lead, serve, and give back — and why authenticity, grit, and collaboration are at the heart of real change. We also discuss:
    •    Her leadership philosophy and community work

    •    What purpose means to her — and how to discover your own

    •    The life-changing work of The Women’s Resource

    •    Why supporting women creates stronger families and stronger communities

This week, we continue our series examining the 9 values of UCC by looking at how ‘serving is our joy’. We examine how when we serve, we do it not to gain notoriety but to reflect the love of Christ into those round us. We look at how Jesus called us to be co-laborers in the great mission of loving the world. Our main passage this week is John 15:9-15
