Summary

Send a text Over the years, we have received several emails and DM’s from christian women who have expressed their concern to us at Girl Defined Ministries, asking why we waste time writing about “secondary” issues rather than keeping the focus exclusively on the gospel. They’ve expressed disappointment that we take time to write about “minor” issues like romance, dating, modesty, and femininity. Let’s talk about this. Why do we take time to write about topics like love, romance, modest...

Today on The Girl To Find Show, we're hitting the big three. Romance, modesty, and femininity.

0:04.4

Why are we talking about those if they're such secondary issues? Because truly, they point

0:08.9

to the gospel. And these conversations are so often not being had amongst Christians

0:13.2

for one reason or another. And so we're going to dive into them and see, okay, does God

0:17.1

have something to say about these topics? Why are they important? And why does the gospel

0:21.5

impact these areas? And why should we care about these areas as Christians? So if you've had

0:26.1

questions about romance from a gospel perspective, modesty from a gospel perspective, femininity

0:32.0

from a gospel perspective, this conversation is for you, sister. And I want to encourage you,

if you're like, this is a waste of time, we need to just focus on the, you know, the most central

0:41.2

things you need to stop talking about this. Stick with me. Please don't give up on me. I promise

0:45.5

you will benefit from this conversation. And I think you will be surprised at what I have to say.

0:49.6

Stick with me. Let's jump in. What's up sisterhood? It's Bethany here. Unfortunately,

podcast came out a day later than normal. But I decided, you know what? It's just me here. And I might

1:06.8

as well go for the big one. I might as well go for a really hard conversation. And if it goes poorly,

1:12.8

then I'm to blame. Kristen won't have to take any of the lack of this conversation. But this truly

1:19.0

is an area, the romance, modesty, femininity, that I think they're areas that are really important

1:25.3

that we often neglect because they're hard to talk about. We don't want to get like dogmatic and

1:29.1

so black and white on these issues. But then we don't want to get like, okay, pretend like they

1:32.5

don't matter at all. So sometimes we just ignore them. I know Kristen and I have felt this big

1:37.0

tension of how to talk about these things in a way that is Christ honoring and grace filled and,

1:44.1

you know, full of humility and not so black and white in the areas of scripture that aren't
