Stay ConnectedIn our culture, if a woman is said to have strength it usually means she is competing with a man or acting like a man.
What if there is strength in the way God made us, as women?
There is and we recognize it when we see it.
We are excited to introduce you to women who display true strength, not in spite of being women but because of it.

Leah Church was an NCAA Division One basketball player for the University of North Carolina when, as she would say, she was met with the choice of basketball or Jesus. Today we hear her inspiring story of how God led her to UNC but then gave her the courage to step away when she was asked to compromise her convictions.

Why should we learn about women in history? Historian Glenn Sunshine returns to the podcast today to help us answer that question, as well as shares with us about Sorghaghtani Beki (1190-1252), an Eastern woman from a Mongol tribe who became known as the Mother of Great Khans. She encouraged trade and cultural exchange, believed in religious freedom, had great charity for the poor, and taught her sons to rule justly. Sorghaghtani was very influential for her time and place.
