Join us as we talk about the life-giving difference between condemnation and conviction. We imagine how the devil has tried to use shame and guilt to limit the impact of women like us in the lives of those around us, and we study the lives and legacies of the unlikely women in Jesus’ lineage to demonstrate how God works so very differently, bringing outsiders and sinners into the story of grace and hope.

Also check out Season One, Episode Three! While this current episode is about our unlikely place in God’s work and Kingdom, there we talk about how God uses unlikely friendships to accomplish His amazing work. It is a delight, and an encouraging sidekick to this episode, especially at Christmastime! God truly uses all types of women, and what a personal gift to us that we can find at least one to relate to!
