| 0:31.1 | You know as women, man, we have so many giftings and talents and there are unique ways God |
| 0:34.9 | will open doors for us to use them. There is this funnel |
| 0:38.2 | for female success and it's not necessarily rooted in God's word. We encourage young women to just |
| 0:43.8 | ask the question, will this path I'm pursuing be hospitable toward the path of marriage and motherhood |
| 0:50.5 | if God calls me down that one day. |
| 0:59.2 | Okay, Kristen, here's my question to start us out. |
| 1:05.9 | Are we as women in our culture today being lied to about what a woman is? |
| 1:07.0 | Absolutely. |
| 1:08.2 | We are. |
| 1:09.2 | You would say absolutely. |
| 1:09.9 | Absolutely. |

| 1:49.8 | word. So it's hard. It's hard to sort through the noise and to get back to God's word and say, |
| 1:54.3 | what does the Bible actually say it means to be a woman? What was that? Look you just gave me. |
| 2:00.3 | I mean, the look was, that's a bold statement. Yeah. On both ends. Me too. I love it. I mean, it's like, you just said the church. I'm sitting there as a pastor like, have I, have I lied? Have I taught God's word wrong in the world? And, you know, I'm sitting there thinking, I'm watching two generations |
| 2:18.3 | sitting in front of me of women, you know, because Anne and I grew up in the 60s and the 70s when |
