Did you know that the classic A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens has many themes that go well with Advent? Join us as we talk to returning podcast guest Jessica Hooten Wilson about this famous Christmas story and what it teaches us about time, waiting, and remembering Christ’s birth. You won’t want to miss the wonderful conversation.
Today, Christians face mounting pressure to conform to harmful secular ideologies about race, sexuality, human identity, and more. In response, the Colson Center seeks to equip believers with a Christian worldview on all these things, so they can know, live, and speak the truth in love. As we reach the end of the year, would you consider donating to support the ongoing work of the Colson Center? You can make your donation at colsoncenter.org/swyearend.
This Summer, give your teens an unshakeable faith that will last a lifetime. Summit Ministries' Student Conferences give students reasons to trust the biblical foundation you have laid for them. Students will wrestle through the hard questions as they build an unshakeable faith. Register for a two-week session in Colorado or Georgia. Use code STRONGWOMEN24 for an exclusive discount. Learn more at summit.org/strongwomen.
The Strong Women Podcast is a product of the Colson Center which equips Christians to live out their faith with clarity, confidence, and courage in this cultural moment. Through commentaries, podcasts, videos, and more, we help Christians better understand what’s happening in the world, and champion what is true and good wherever God has called them.
