Using Qualitative Interviews as the methodology, I collected the personal narratives from ten young clergywomen with medical diagnoses of ADHD from a medical professional. Weaving these personal narratives together with reflections on my own lived experience, I go on to share the trends and commonalities experienced by these unique clergywomen. By reinterpreting and reimagining the biblical story of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus from Bethany, I encourage churches and church leaders to reframe ADHD as a spiritual gift given by the divine to these clergywomen.

By sharing real life examples of how ADHD has affected their ministries for both good and ill, creating challenges for them to overcome, I argue that despite the best efforts of clergy health initiatives and wellness programs, the root problem of many relational breakdowns between clergy and their congregations lays much deeper below the surface. After a thorough exploration of the effects of ADHD on ministry, a series of recommendations are made for churches, church leaders, and denominational leaders on ways they might consider employing more support for the neurodiverse clergy entrusted to their care and communities for the benefit of all.
