Welcome to the Journey Women Podcast. I'm your host, Hunter Beelis. Life's a journey we were

never meant to walk alone. We all need friends along the way. On the Journey Women Podcast, we'll

chat with mentors about gracefully navigating the seasons and challenges we face on our journeys

to glorify God. On today's episode of the Journey Women Podcast, I'm chatting with Jackie Hill

Samsext attraction, identity, and the Christian life. We talked about literally everything from how we

can engage people in a homosexual lifestyle with the gospel to how our identity as believers is

literally transformed by the gospel. I think my favorite part of this conversation may have been

when Jackie and I got real about what it's like to study the word and to seek to grow in our theology

as mamas to little tiny people. Overall, our conversation is just rich with gospel-centered

encouragement like this. What God wants me to do is to continually remember the gospel and

glean from the gospel as it relates to my temptations or my desires or my trials or my sufferings or

even my victories and that even my victories I can glory in it and be thankful for because I have a

right understanding and right knowledge of Jesus now where I can thank him truly instead of saying,

I did this. I'm telling you guys Jackie brought the heat so you'll know her a little better.

Jackie Perry is a writer, poet, and artist whose work has been featured in places like the Washington

Times, the 700 Club, Desiring God, the Gospel Coalition, and many others. Since becoming a Christian

in 2008, she has been compelled to use her speaking and teaching gifts to share the light of

the gospel of God as authentically as she possibly can. That totally shines through in this conversation.

At home, she's wife to Preston and mommy to Eden and Autumn. You guys absolutely cannot wait

for you to hear from Jackie today. But you know before we go there that I have to tell you about

our sponsors who helped make today's episode possible. West art coffee and prep dish.
