| 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. |
| 0:10.6 | I'm Erin Kunkel. |
| 0:11.8 | And I'm Sarah Stone Street. We're so glad you're here. |
| 0:18.7 | Welcome back to the Strong Women podcast. Today, we have the treat of having a guest back. And she's one of our most popular guests. Her name is Jessica Hootin-Wilson. And if you don't know, Jessica, you need to go back and listen to our first episode with her, which I looked it up. It's episode 80. And it was called |
| 0:41.3 | The Scandal of Flannery O'Connor and the Power of Stories, which is so similar to her book, |
| 0:47.7 | which I'm going to mention too. But actually, Jessica, I was just in Utah doing ministry with the |
| 0:53.2 | Mormon people there. And one of the guys that I was there doing ministry with came up to me and said, |
| 0:58.8 | Aaron, I love the Strong Women podcast. And yes, listeners, men listen to our podcast. And he said, |
| 1:06.5 | I just listened to the episode on Flannery O'Connor. And after listening to that, I went and bought |
| 1:12.6 | some of her books and I'm going to read her now. And I knew you would be so happy to hear that. |
| 1:18.9 | Speaking of books, Jessica is an author. She's written, Given the Devil His Due, Flannery O'Connor |
| 1:24.9 | and the brothers Karamazov. Did I say that right? I always feel like I say |
| 1:29.7 | that wrong. Okay. And then she also wrote, The Scandal of Holiness, Renewing Your Imagination in the |
| 1:35.7 | Company of Saints. So Jessica is a scholar of liberal arts at Pepperdine University. She is a wife |
| 1:43.9 | and a mother of three kids. And we are so |
| 1:47.5 | thankful to have her today to talk about the topic of Advent and one of mine and Sarah's favorite |
| 1:55.8 | books to read during Advent, which is a Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. So, Jessica, thank you for being on |
| 2:02.1 | with us again. Absolutely. This is so much fun to get to talk about things like this. |
| 2:07.1 | Yeah, we had so much fun talking with you about Flannery and Connor. I just, I mean, as soon as we |
| 2:12.4 | left that conversation, Aaron and I were like, let's find an excuse to get Jessica back on. |
| 2:19.3 | So it's not hard to find an excuse. But thanks for coming on. And so to start us off, we've already told |
| 2:24.6 | Jessica's story. So if you are curious about her, which you should be, go to the episode 80 |
