For the last 20 years, as I've traveled around the country, just honestly, just talking about grace,

and had countless women, primarily, but also men, say to me, why have I never heard this before?

I've been in church for 30 years, and I've never heard about justification.

Hey friends,

welcome back to another episode of Theology and Rahm.

My guest today is Elise Fitzpatrick,

who holds a certificate in biblical counseling

and an MA in biblical counseling from Trinity Theological Seminary.

She has authored more than 25 books on daily living

and the Christian life, including her most recent book, Friend of Sinners, Lent Devotions.

I'm following the Crucified King. If you want a great book for this coming Lent, I would

highly recommend checking it out. Also,

stay tuned for our extra innings portion of this conversation where Elise and I talk about

why Christian women in particular struggle with so much guilt. Are you a Christian woman?

Do you feel overburdened with just guilt? Can't match up to this, can't vent up to that. And you have all

these external standards hanging over your head. Oh, man. Hummel said, I know what that feels like,

but I don't because I'm not a Christian woman, but I do know a few. And they share this with me all

the time. And Lisa, Elise and I get into it. It gets a little spicy.

I almost got myself in trouble. But if you want to watch the extra Indians portion of our conversation,

head over to patreon.com forward slash theology in Raw and become a member of the theology in the

raw community. So without further ado, please welcome back to the show, my friend, the one and only

Elise Fitzpatrick. Oh only Elise Fitzpatrick.
