Author Erica Ligenza Gwynn joins Hanna for a refreshing, deeply needed conversation about the cultural lies women are believing—and the biblical truth that brings us freedom. Drawing from her new book, That’s Just Not True, Erica shares how subtle messaging around empowerment, self-sufficiency, and “you do you” theology can quietly shape our identity, overwhelm our hearts, and pull us away from dependence on Christ.
Together, they unpack two of the most common mantras women absorb today: “She believed she could, so she did” and “I am enough.” With Scripture, practical examples, and honest storytelling, Hanna and Erica explore why these phrases sound good but leave us striving, depleted, or disconnected from God’s design.
If you’ve ever felt pressure to be “limitless,” overwhelmed by expectations, or confused by well-packaged cultural wisdom—this conversation will bring clarity, comfort, and truth rooted in God’s Word.

• How to identify lies the enemy disguises as empowerment

Key quotes
“The enemy isn’t creative—he takes something good and twists it just enough that we no longer notice it’s not truth.”
“There’s never going to be a point where we arrive at ‘enough.’ That’s the whole point of the gospel—Jesus was enough because we aren’t.”
“Our world tells us we can do anything, but God invites us to discover the specific things He actually created us to do.”
