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.

Melissa Keown loves history and the outdoors and has a heart for people who are different from her. Melissa is also on the leadership team in the Colorado Springs Colson Fellows Cohort (so she's good friends with Sarah!), and she shares about her experience in the program. When Melissa participated in Colson Fellows, it helped her learn to be a better listener. She also did the program with her daughter, so it was formative for their faith together!

Last week we talked with Carole Joy Seid about Ruth Bell Graham and this week when we hear the story of Edith Schaeffer, we will see some amazing parallels! Edith also grew up in China where her parents were missionaries. When Edith returned to the United States, she met the man she would marry, Francis Schaeffer. Together Edith and Francis started the ministry of L'Abri in Switzerland, a place where people journey to find honest answers to honest questions. L'Abri was filled with hospitality, art, and creativity because of Edith, and all the while she was writing many good books. Edith's life encourages us to pursue excellence and beauty.

Carole Joy Seid joined us again on the podcast to tell the story of Ruth Bell Graham. Ruth grew up in China where her parents were missionaries and attended boarding school there. When Ruth came to the United States as a teenager, her prior experiences had helped to shape her into an intelligent, strong, determined woman. After Ruth met and married Billy, she became his trusted confidant as he traveled the world evangelizing and she herself wrote many books worth treasuring. Ruth is a remarkable woman from history and we are excited to share her story with you!
