0:00.0	Welcome to the Strong Women Podcast, where each week we explore a deeper understanding of the humanity, value, intellect, and creativity of women.
0:10.7	I'm Erin Kunkel.
0:11.8	And I'm Sarah Stone Street. We're so glad you're here.
0:18.3	Well, welcome back to the Strong Women Podcast.
0:20.8	Today, Sarah and I are reflecting on our conversation with Valerie Elliott Shepard. And it was so awesome to have that conversation with her, Sarah. Sometimes these interviews, I'm like, can we just talk for three hours? And can we just keep talking? And I just loved our conversation with her.
0:38.5	It was so fun to hear about her parents from her perspective.
0:44.4	Of course, we both have read so much about her parents and from her parents.

1:40.8	to lead the congregation in hymns. And Valerie mentioned how her mother taught her hymns as she was growing up.
1:49.2	And the grandkids at the funeral said their grandmother, Elizabeth Elliott,
1:55.1	always made sure they sang every verse of a hymn, too.
2:00.0	Yeah, because it's a whole thing. Yeah. So for this
2:04.7	reflection, we thought, oh, what a fun topic to talk about hymns and how hymns have played
