Confessions of a Crappy Christian is powered by the Converge Podcast Network.

Welcome back to another episode of Confessions of a Crappy Christian.

I am your host and resident Crappy Christian Blake, and every week I get to have the

coolest conversations with incredible people about all the things most Christians are still not sure

we're allowed to talk about. So if you've been looking for a place to land with all your crap,

and for someone to just be honest about what it looks like to walk through this Christian life,

well you've come to the right place. Pull up a seat, pop in your headphones, and tune out your kids,

and come hang out with me and a guest for the authentic conversations that you have been looking for.

This week I am chatting with Ali Worthington, and we're talking about her new book

Standing Strong, but more specifically about how women can break free from the lies and the

doubt that hold them back from pursuing God's call on their life. We talk about leaning into

confidence in Christ and following his leading, and you'll know that this whole topic is right up

my alley. We both got so fired up about this conversation, and I hope that it is an encouragement to

you to throw off the things that hinder you and get after what God has for you.

Ali, hey thank you so much for coming on the show today.

Well thank you I'm thrilled to be on the show. Thanks for having me.

So what's really exciting is that you have a new project along with all of the other incredible

things that you're already doing, and so I am so excited to talk about your newest project,

which is your book Standing Strong. So I would love it if you would tell us just a little bit

about yourself and about Standing Strong. Sure. I am a wife to one person, and a mom to five boys.

I feel like that's my big claim to fame. We all live this north of Nashville with a rescue dog.

I'm a speaker and an author and a business coach. I also run a community with my good friend Lisa
