| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Strong Women podcast, where we explore a deeper understanding of the humanity, value, intellect, and creativity of women. |
| 0:12.0 | I'm your host Sarah Stone Street. |
| 0:14.1 | And I'm your co-host, Erin Kunkel. |
| 0:27.8 | Our guest today, I'm excited to introduce you guys to, is Megan Amman. |
| 0:34.9 | So Megan works for Life Training Institute, and some of you will be familiar with Scott Closendorf and Life Training Institute. |
| 0:36.3 | And Megan is a speaker. |
| 0:38.4 | She travels all around and she tells everybody all the things they need to know about the pro-life movement and she trains all the people. |
| 0:45.1 | And then her husband and her are really connected at Summit. So Tripp, her husband, runs the Summit Semester |
| 0:52.3 | program. If you don't know about the summit semester program, |
| 0:56.0 | you can't say that fast. Somemit semester programs. It's a mouthful. Summit semester program. |
| 1:03.4 | We will link to that in the show notes because you want to know more about it. Maybe we can |
| 1:08.2 | talk a little bit about it. Sure. Later. But anyway, so |
| 1:11.3 | Tripp runs that, but of course Megan is present there. He is my husband. So I live there too. |
| 1:18.1 | The duo. It's a duo. And anyway, so, and then she speaks at Summit and she's written, |

But anyway, we wanted to start off with just asking you, like share a little bit with our listeners about where you grew up and did you grow up in a Christian home, that sort of thing. Okay. Yeah, I grew up in Georgia. So Georgia, born and raised. And, you know, you can take the girl out of the South, but it's real hard to take the South out of the girl. I did grow up in a home |
| 2:01.6 | that was at least nominally Christian for most of my life. So I knew who Jesus was. My parents |
| 2:07.2 | would teach me to pray and things like that. But I think that my dad actually became a faithful |
| 2:13.0 | follower of Jesus when I was in high school. And that changed some things around my house in a big way. |
