Summary

On this episode of “The Kylee Cast,” Emma Waters, a Christian wife, mom, and senior policy analyst at The Heritage Foundation, joins Federalist Managing Editor Kylee Griswold to discuss her new book, Lead Like Jael: 7 Timeless Principles for Today's Women of Faith. Is the opposite of girl bossing really tradwifing? In today’s battle of the sexes, how can wives better view their husbands as battle mates? How does an Old Testament woman who drove a tent peg through a man’s skull embody true biblical femininity? Kylee and Emma discuss all that and more!
