From the very beginning, God made it clear that we needed each other. In fact, we’re at our best when all of us, men and women, are pursing God’s mission together. But what exactly does that mean? On this “Best of Where Ya From?episode, Carolyn Custis James shares her personal experience with gender inequality and learning about injustices toward women around the world. These experiences led her to become an advocate for women, the lifelong commitment to helping all men and women see how we need each other to survive, thrive, and grow through the ups and downs of life.

Notes & Quotes:

  • The moment the word why crosses your lips, you are doing theology. And if you've been trying to survive on fluff, you don't have anything that's going to hold you.” 
  • “If you are created to image God, it means that your first calling is to know the God who created you to be like Himself. That He is to be our study.”  
  • “Our first calling is to know [God]. And to find out, you know, what He loves and to look at the world through His eyes. And to love what He loves and to join His mission in the world.”
