SYNERGY FAQS
Q: What is an ezer?
Ezer [pronounced Azer with a long sounding A, as in razor] is a powerful Hebrew military word. It is used most often in the Old Testament to describe God as Israel’s helper. God uses ezer twice when he creates the woman.
“The LORD God said, ‘It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper [ezer] suitable for him’” (Genesis 2:18, also 20).
God created the woman to be a warrior alongside the man in advancing God’s kingdom throughout the earth. This is every woman’s calling, regardless of her age, marital status, or circumstances. It applies to every sphere of a woman’s life, whether we’re at home, in the workplace, the community, or engaged in ministry somewhere in the world.
Every woman is an ezer from birth to death. We are warriors for God’s purposes alongside our brothers in Christ.

Q: I'm not involved in vocational ministry. Can I attend a Synergy conference?
Although our focus is on women who are actively involved in or preparing for vocational ministry, our doors are open. If you believe our conferences will help you in your ministry, we welcome you to join us.
Q: Can men attend Synergy conferences?
From the very beginning of Synergy, men have attended (and enjoyed!) our conferences. In fact, our Synergy conferences are a reflection of our belief that men and women are called to serve God together. Men have played significant roles in launching Synergy, funding our efforts, and cheering us on. We couldn’t have done it without them! And now they participate as speakers and workshop participants. So yes, men are welcome too!
