Hey friends, welcome to the Rhythms for Life podcast, where each week we talk about rhythms for building resilience so you can take charge of your mental, spiritual, and relational health.

These ideas come from Rebecca's bestselling book, Building a Resilient Life, How Adversity Awakens, Strength, Hope, and Meaning.

So grab your copy, invite your friends, and let's build resilience together.

Hi, welcome back to another edition of Rhythms for Life. I'm sitting in today on behalf of

Rebecca, and I'm excited to tell you that today's conversation is going to be one that I think

you're going to really enjoy. Rebecca and I sit down with Lisa Bevere, the author of The Fight for

Female, and we're talking about a topic that has become quite difficult to talk about in our

culture today. And yet it's the most important conversation we could have as it relates to thinking

about our children, our families, the kinds of conversations that are happening all around us that we see

headlined in media, in social media, but most important in the small conversations we're

having in our homes with our kids or with our teenagers who are walking through life where

they're being told a lot of different things about what it means to be male, what it means to be female, what role that means they have to play in life, how much this connects to what they're feeling emotionally or what they're being taught in their public environments. And so we just wanted to help you as listeners to go a little deeper into that conversation, to think with somebody like Lisa Bavir, who's a grandmother,

who's raised an incredible family and now has nine grandchildren. And you're going to get to hear

a perspective from someone who has lived out her calling, who's been very faithful to write,

to speak, to lead, and yet comes back around to helping us all understand the role that men

play in our life and women.

And so Rebecca and I are encouraged for you to get to listen in on that conversation.

Now, before we do that, I just want to remind you, Friendsgiving is something that we host.

In fact, tomorrow night, we're hosting Friendsgiving in our home, and I hope you will be hosting a Friendsgiving.

I know we're starting to run out of time,

but November's a long month with Thanksgiving coming later in the month,

so you still have time to be intentional to pull a few friends together and say, hey, let's have our own Friendsgiving.
