In this solo episode, Christa opens up about a topic that can stir up some strong opinions - women in ministry and speaking in church. With honesty and humility, she shares her personal journey, how she arrived at her convictions, and what led her to say “yes” to preaching when the opportunity came.

But this episode is about so much more than that. It’s a gospel-rich reminder that grace is at the very center of our salvation. If you’ve ever wrestled with feeling condemned, unsure of where you stand with God, or wondered if you’re “too far gone” - this one is for you.

You’ll hear about the kind of grace that justifies, teaches, and saves — and how to receive it, whether you’re coming from a Christian home or still searching for truth.
