In this episode, Courtney and Missie asked Naná and Claudia these questions:  
—Claudia, how did God lead you to become a doctor and a professor?
—Nana, how did you transition from pediatric nursing and teaching to founding Filipenses Quatro Oito?
—What is Filipenses Quatro Oito, and how did it begin?
—How did you two meet? 
—What is Christian culture like in Brazil for women and particularly for women working outside the home?
—What did you learn about the Brazilian women who participated in the research you did in your book?
—Chapter 2 in your book is entitled (in English), “Created to Serve.” What is God’s design for women especially as it relates to what we’re called to do?
—What do you say to those who think a woman’s place is solely to bear children and tend to the home? How does the Bible validate women’s work outside the home?
—How do you both manage all of your God-given responsibilities well (serving family, women, patients, students)? 
—How should Christians respond to the frustrating moments in our work?
—How can we work for the glory of God instead of for our own names and recognition or as those striving out of fear?
