ON BEING A WOMAN: FREE, WHOLE, CALLED IN CHRIST

On Being a Woman; Free, Whole, Called in Christ | Abigail Dodds | Ep. 61

May 6, 2019

 In a culture that can belittle womanhood on the one hand—making it irrelevant—and glorify it on the other—making it everything—it’s hard to know what it really means to be a woman. But when we understand womanhood through the lens of Scripture, we see that we need a bigger category for what God has called “woman.”   

Abigail Dodds brings beautiful and freeing truth to us straight from God’s word to us today regarding our being women created in the image of God. She breathes fresh air into our womanhood, reminding us what life in Christ—as a woman—looks like. When we see that we are women in all we do, we can be at peace with how God has created us, recognizing womanhood as an essential part of Christ’s mission and work. I love how she says THAT GOD created women is an essential part of the story He is telling about Himself. I was incredibly encouraged by Abigail and I know you will be too.
