44. What God Thinks About Women (Part Two) – Dana Bort + Sherri Brown
This is part two of a two-week episode series that I hope expands our understanding of what the Bible has to say about women. Last week, we set the stage with God's intention in the creation of women (ezer kenegdo) and how that is reflected throughout scripture. Today, we dive into specifics about what this practically looks like for women in 2023 – including women in a variety of life seasons and what this means for women in leadership/the church.

43. What God Thinks About Women (Part One) – Dana Bort + Sherri Brown
Our interpretation of what the Bible has to say about who women are, what a woman's purpose is and our roles in society, church, leadership, family and communities is often unclear at best and destructive at worst. Dana Bort and Sherri Brown led a Biblical Womanhood Retreat that I had the privilege of attending for a few years and their perspective of what God thinks about women was very different from the assumptions I thought I knew. This is part one of a two-week episode series that I hope expands your understanding of what the Bible has to say...

The Built Different Podcast with Dr. Zach Clinton
Discovering More in Your Relationship with God and Your Community with Podcaster, Nikki Dutton, Ep. 097
We all know the feeling of being unsatisfied. Instead of wrestling with the tension of feeling unsatisfied, we often settle and don’t move forward to experience the “abundantly more” life that God invites us to live with Him. Often, the tension of feeling unsatisfied can be God’s invitation for you to experience more with Him and within your community. What’s beautiful about the abundantly more life is that it can equally be found in the seasons of sorrow and the seasons of joy and that’s exactly what we discuss this week. Joining us on the podcast this...

Kelly Streiff has a strong voice of encouragement and hope for everyone, but especially those who resonate with the loss of a child. The two of us have been connected for years through sharing a similar passion and practice of speaking, but over the last six months our stories connected in a deeper way. What I love about Kelly is that she is clear about the pain she has experienced, but she is equally – if not more – bold about the hope, goodness, and life that is still available to us even in the middle of the story.
