Women Worth Knowing

What an honor it is to have Lindy Boone with us in studio today. Lindy grew up in a family of singers. Her father, Pat Boone, often took his family on tour with him. Lindy and her three sisters recorded several Christian albums as The Boone Girls, including their Grammy Award-nominated First Class.

When Lindy’s son, Ryan had an accident that resulted in a traumatic brain injury in 2001, she experienced suffering like she’d never known. Her journal through the first year became a book, titled Heaven Hears. She and her family established Ryan’s Reach to help survivors of brain injury and opened two homes to provide care for survivors. TBI Talk is a podcast she launched to provide resources for those who have been on similar journeys.
In November, 2023, Lindy recorded her song, “Wordlayer” with studio backup from her sisters and we will air the song at the end of the podcast.

Baroness Mathilda Wrede grew up in a wealthy household. Her early years were filled with privilege. However, after coming to know Jesus at nineteen years old, the trajectory of her life took a radical turn toward helping the least-regarded element of society: the prisoner and convict. Mathilda had a dream of a man begging her to come to the prison and speak the words of Jesus. Listen in to hear how Mathilda set about answering that call.

It was great to be able to sit down and talk with Jeanna Combs in studio. Jeanna was born in Hawaii, but was raised by her single mom along with her three brothers in Vista, California. As a young girl, the church became her second family and filled in the vacant role of father in her life. Jeanna loved going to church, but didn’t fully surrender her life to Jesus until high school. Shortly after high school, she was invited to take a mission trip to Yugoslavia. Since that mission trip over twenty years ago, Jeanna has continued to serve the Lord in Europe, and is now serving in Paphos, Cyprus. Listen in and hear some of her adventures, adjustments, highs and lows, as well as how she met her handsome husband Loren.

We were so blessed to have Susan Lim in the studio with us for a 2-part series where she shared her story of growing up in a Buddhist family, and how God brought her to Himself. She also shared the way the Lord has used the circumstances of her life, including delays, to bring her to where He is currently working in her life and using her. Susan C. Lim (PhD, UCLA) is a historian and author. Her latest book, Light of the Word, weaves both history and personal stories to show the veracity of Scripture. Susan is passionate about God, family, and friends. She loves to learn and teach, especially when it enables others to trust the truth of the Scriptures.

Dorothy L. Sayers (June 1893–Dec. 1957) was more than an English crime novelist and contemporary of Agatha Christie. She was also an ardent Christian and apologist. She was one of the first women to graduate from Oxford University; she spoke several languages fluently; was a brilliant orator, playwright, and writer. Dr. Amy Orr-Ewing (D.Phil, Oxford University), herself a graduate of Oxford, apologist and author, joins me in studio for a 3-part series to talk about the fascinating life, personality, and writings of Dorothy L. Sayers.
