| 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. |
| 0:11.1 | I'm Sarah Stone Street. |
| 0:12.6 | And I'm Erin Kunkel. |
| 0:13.9 | Glad you're here. |
| 0:18.2 | On the Strong Women podcast today, we have a pleasure of talking with Emily Colson. I'm going to |
| 0:24.0 | introduce Emily as my friend because Emily is my friend and I want you all to know her like that. |
| 0:30.9 | You know, I just want to say, hey, you guys, this is Emily, Emily, this is you guys. When I first |
| 0:35.6 | came to my husband and I said, hey, I have this idea to do a podcast |
| 0:40.5 | about strong women. And what I mean by strong women are those women who are walking faithfully |
| 0:47.1 | with Christ in their spheres of influence. What do you think about that? And he goes, I love this |
| 0:52.0 | idea. Get a piece of paper. Let's write some names down. Well, Emily was like one of the first five that we wrote down. And we've been trying to get her. But of course, COVID has rocked Emily's world. And we will find out more about that later. But the way John and I, my husband and I got to know Emily is that she's Chuck Colson's daughter. So originally that was our first |
| 1:12.2 | connection, but she's quickly become a dear friend to us. And we're so grateful for how God is |
| 1:18.1 | working in her life, how he's working in others because of her. And we're thrilled to have Emily |
| 1:24.6 | on to talk about how she grew up. We are going to talk about Chuck Colson |
| 1:29.0 | because you can't avoid it, right? You had a wonderful relationship with your father, and he was |
| 1:34.4 | very influential in your life, and of course, many others. So we will talk about her relationship |
| 1:40.5 | with her dad and growing up in the unique home that she did. And then we will also |
| 1:46.4 | talk about some ministry things that she's just coming into right now. So that's a sneak peek. |
| 1:52.5 | There'll be more. But stay with us. And thank you so much, Emily, for coming. |
| 1:56.6 | What a joy to be with both of you, Erin and Sarah. It's really a thrill. I'm truly honored and you're |
| 2:03.0 | both doing such a wonderful job with this podcast. The ones that I've listened to have just been so |
| 2:09.5 | delightful. So I wish that we could all be sitting in the same room, but it kind of feels like we are. |
