Hello, I'm John Eldridge, and welcome to the Ransomed Heart Audio Podcast.

For more information on Ransomed Heart Ministries, our resources and events, please visit

We want to welcome you to the Ransomed Heart

podcast. This is Alan Arnold and with me today is Stacy Eldridge.

And normally you might hear John and Craig regularly here, but we wanted to offer you something unique and refreshing today.

So Stacy, it's a joy to have you here in the studio.

So glad to be here, Alan, thanks.

I posting a question to women asking them what subjects would you like to have

talked about if I were to do a podcast? Well, in about 15 minutes, I think I got over 50 responses, and actually they would break your heart.

They're just real, they're just true, the things that women all over the world are wondering about,

needing help with, curious, pressing in for, needing, and they all share one thing.

They all have a relational core to them.

All these things that we struggle with or question

or are wondering about as women all flow out of the way that

we uniquely bear the image of God in our relational capacity.

It's the place where we have the most glory and it is the place where we are most deeply wounded.

So let's talk about that.

There were a number of poignant and important things that women have raised to be talked about.

So certainly can't do that all today, but let me just do an overview and remind you of a truth that will help to carry us all through.

Whatever today faces, whatever season we're in, whatever circumstances are.

I want to remind you, your heart is central.
