When You Are Not Quiet and Gentle is an exuberant conversation with Rach, Maddy, and Bec about extrovert personalities (the personality type that calls out to a speaker from the back of the room), the downward mental spiral when you compare yourself to Maud Flanders, and what on earth “quiet and gentle” actually means. Is it a personality type or something much more? Join an ED nurse, a women’s ministry worker, and clinical psych reg on a tour through nineties church culture, 1 Peter 3:3-4, and Greek words.

Disclaimer: We really, really emphasise that we are 100% not experts here. We’re processing what we’re learning about the application of biblical principles to life in the hope you might have these conversations with your friends too.

In today’s episode, we:

• Deep dive the concepts of quiet and gentle
• Discuss our experiences of not fitting the “quiet and gentle” mould
• Explore personality, internal vs external quietness, restless hearts, and dependence on the Lord
• Discuss what faithfulness to God has called you to do and be looks like in different women
