| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Strong Women podcast, where we explore the beautifully diverse ways God invites and equips women to participate in his story. |
| 0:16.0 | We're here to encourage one another as we step out of the shallow definitions of what it means to be a woman |
| 0:22.3 | and into the flourishing life that comes when we walk out our design. I'm your host Sarah Stone Street. |
| 0:28.8 | I'm so glad you're here. Welcome back, listeners. I'm so glad you're with us and I want to |
| 0:36.0 | introduce you to my guest today. Her name is |
| 0:38.9 | Laura Powell. I met Laura at a women in apologetics conference this past fall in 2024, and she and I |
| 0:47.2 | got to sit together at breakfast, and I got to hear some of her story over breakfast, and I was just |
| 0:53.2 | blown away. I could not wait to talk more to her. |
| 0:57.3 | So I was like, just come on the podcast so I can share this amazing conversation with my listeners. |
| 1:03.0 | But during that conversation, I was able to hear how Laura came to faith, how she started a blog where she wrote about what she was learning, |

| 1:41.1 | wait to talk about in this conversation. But thank you so much for coming, Laura. |
| 1:45.9 | Oh, thanks so much for having me. I'm excited to be here. I had so much fun at our breakfast. |
| 1:50.3 | I would have stayed and talked for hours. I know, me too. I think we were all tempted to just |
| 1:56.1 | not go to the rest of the conference that day. But, okay, let's start with you as little Laura. Did you |
| 2:04.7 | grow up in a Christian home? I did not. No, we were very much focused on sports, and we spent |
| 2:12.2 | the weekends at tennis tournaments. I was a competitive tennis player. My brother was a competitive soccer player. |
| 2:18.8 | I think that if you had asked me if we were Christians, I guess maybe I would have said yes, |
