0:00.0	Welcome to the Strong Women Podcast, where we explore a deeper understanding of the humanity,
0:07.0	value, intellect, and creativity of women.
0:11.0	I'm your host, Erin Kunkel.
0:13.0	And I'm your co-host, Sarah Stone Street.
0:15.0	Today on the podcast, we have the great pleasure of interviewing Doddy McDowell, who is a new friend to Sarah and I.

1:38.3	oh, gosh, I hope I get to meet her one day. And since then, I have gotten to meet you and we talked to you into doing
1:48.4	this conversation with us. So we're so thankful. But if the name McDowell is something that
1:55.7	sounds familiar to those of you listening, it's probably for two reasons. One, Dottie's husband, Josh, is a best-selling
2:03.6	author and apologist and speaker and has been for so long and has had a huge influence in our faith
