Summary
Guest Bio: Sarah Stonestreet hosts the Strong Women podcast. A lover of learning, Sarah enjoys reading history, classic literature, theology, and books about global Christianity. As Director of Community Outreach at Saint George’s Anglican Church, she looks for ways to care for the Colorado Springs community through the local Church. In this season of life, Sarah has the joy of seeing God work in the lives of young people as she homeschools her youngest three children and co-leads St. George’s youth group with her husband, John.
Show Summary: What do you think it means to be a strong woman? Sarah Stonestreet felt personally convicted to help women define “strength” in a way separate from how culture and society tell us to be strong. Join host Elisa Morgan as she dives into the meaning of strong womanhood with Sarah during this God Hears Her conversation.
Notes and Quotes:
“A strong woman develops eyes to see the world around her with all its beauty and brokenness and to love with Christ’s love with the gifts He has given her in the corners of the world where they find themselves.” —Sarah Stonestreet
“It’s not that our faith is about the works that we do, but it’s that our faith compels us—in love—to act as Christ would act.” —Sarah Stonestreet
“The courage comes because you’ve built up that habit of going to the Lord and seeking Him like He is silver and gold. So, when the time comes to actually make a bold stand, you’re prepared.” —Sarah Stonestreet
