0:00.0 | Mother's Day was yesterday. Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there. I hope you got |
0:07.5 | breakfast in bed and flowers and a day full of love and all that to celebrate the immense |
0:12.6 | selflessness that you've shown to your family. And today we're talking about women and theology |
0:17.2 | and a question that comes to us from Audrey. Dear Pastor John, hello, and thank you for |
0:21.1 | this podcast. I'm a Gen Z listener, and I greatly appreciate the teachings you share each week. |
0:26.2 | After listening to you and John MacArthur messages over the years and living in the times we are now, |
