Is Modesty Still Relevant for Christian Women? Aug 01, 2022

Show notes

Ep. 088 - Modesty is one of those topics that most Christians won't touch with a 10ft pole. It's controversial. It's divisive. It's confusing. It's just hard to talk about. We get it. That's why we haven't talked about it much over the past few years either. That all changes today though. We're jumping back in the deep and going there. We're having the hard conversation.
Don't worry. We're not giving a list of "rights and wrongs" or "do's and don'ts." We're going deeper. We're talking about the heart. We're talking about the gospel. We're talking about when clothes were invented.
Today's conversation is one you don't want to miss.

Biological Male Gets Nominated for NCAA Woman of the Year Jul 25, 2022

Show notes

Ep. 087 - You read that right. A man has been nominated for the NCAA Woman of the Year award. This is a huge honor and one any biological woman would be honored to receive. But... no. There isn't room for real women any more. Men have entered the scene and they are taking over. They are literally erasing women before our eyes.
In today's show, we're discussing the sad story of Lia Thomas. A Biological man who recently transitioned into a "woman" and is now competing in women's sports. Many women (including his teammates) are outraged. And for good reason.
Let's unpack this from a biblical worldview.

Ep. 085 - At 19 years old, Kylie Bisutti became the number one googled person in entire world.
She had just won a worldwide Victoria’s Secret Modeling competition, beating out 10,000 women to ultimately land the opportunity to walk the runway in a Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
But, the glitz and glam wouldn’t last for long.
Behind the scenes, Kylie began experiencing the emptiness, darkness, and corruption of the elite modeling industry. As a Christian woman, she felt constantly pressured to compromise.
So, to the world’s shock, she made the incredibly courageous choice to walk away from everything. After leaving, she later posted a Tweet that simply said, “I quit being a VS model to be a Proverbs 31 wife.”
Let's hear from Kylie as she shares her story with us today.

Why Miss Universe "Inclusive Language" is so Damaging to Women Jun 27, 2022

Show notes

Ep. 083 - Miss Universe is the world's largest beauty pageant organization. You would think that they (above all other organizations) would be fighting for women and trying to protect them. Nope. Not the case. They actually released a post that suggests how to have more inclusive language when speaking about a woman and her period.
The post literally encourages people to remove the words "woman" and "female" from their vocabulary.
Is this healthy? Is this biblical?
Let's jump in and unpack this from a biblical worldview.

“Freeze Your Eggs. Free Your Career.” The Alarming Trend of Putting Babies on Hold Jun 13, 2022

Show notes

Ep. 081 - The whole idea of freezing your eggs is becoming more appealing to women each year.

Instead of being bound by her (God-designed) biological clock, women can delay having children until their 40s, without the worry of having to produce healthy eggs. The basic idea is that you freeze your strong eggs when you’re in your 20s, and then use them when you’re in your 40s.

Women, young and old, are loving this new freezing technology because it frees them up from having to “settle down” too early. They can pursue their career, delay marriage, be independent, and still have a chance to be a mom – on their own timeframe.
As Christian women, we have to view everything, including this egg freezing technology, through a Biblical worldview.
Let's take a deep dive in today's episode.
