I'm Havela Cunnington and this is Havela's podcast.

I'm excited that you're tuning in today.

You know, this podcast was created by Truth The Table, so I can have a place to share

my heart, biblical truth, simple lifestyle leadership, as well as just connect with my

table community, my table tribe.

So I hope that you'll spend a few minutes with me as we jump in to whatever God has put

on my heart this week.

And don't forget that you're never too far gone from where God wants to take you.

You are loved, you are seen, and he wants to desperately know everything about you.

I love you guys.

Thanks for listening.

Let's jump into this.

You know, I grew up as an identical twin.

I'm left-handed, she's right-handed.

In fact, from mere twins, it's like looking into a mirror.

But we were very different in our personalities.

I'm growing up, my dad used to say, Havela, you're the lion and Deborah, you're the lamb,

which was great until I began to go into ministry.

And I remember feeling this sense that strong women were a liability, not an asset.

And I used to look at spiritual women and they were quiet.

And the Bible talked about they were quiet in spirit and they were slow to speak.

And I used to think that you had to be a certain personality to be used by God clearly.
