The Strong Women Podcast

We often refer to the Colson Fellows Program on the Strong Women podcast. This week, we're excited to share the testimonies of six Colson Fellows-in-Training, all of whom are also Strong Women listeners. They share the highlights of their experiences as Fellows-in-Training, what prompted them to join the program, and what they would say to listeners who are considering the Colson Fellows.

Happy Mother's Day! Our guest today, Pam Tebow is the mother of five children, including Tim Tebow. Through her story, she shares how God has shaped her heart and the hearts of her children through the small, daily habits of reading and memorizing Scripture and looking for ways to serve others. She encourages us that small, faithful things have a much larger impact than we may ever know.

Alisa Childers and Natasha Crain love to evaluate what's happening in culture and help Christians navigate the modern world in such a way that upholds and strengthens their faith. They equip Christians to consider how faith shapes the way they respond to and engage with the secular world. Their new podcast and conference series, Unshaken Faith, exists to encourage Christians to live out their faith with grace and courage. This week, they talk with us about the importance of Christians staying informed about what's going on in culture, and how we can combat despair when we are overwhelmed and discouraged by what we see.

Courtney Doctor is the Director of Women's Initiatives at The Gospel Coalition. She joins us this week to discuss the vital importance of discipleship and the heart-transforming power of God's Word. She shares the value of "life-on-life" discipleship, where authenticity and humility can grow as we help one another follow Jesus in everyday life. We also talk about how Scripture is vital for cultivating the kind of knowledge of God and love for God that transforms us and motivates us to live for Him.

Katie McCoy, the director of Women's Ministry at Texas Baptists, shares with us that many contemporary believers misunderstand the status of women in the Old Testament. God's governance of His people before Christ's coming included a vision of women displaying their God-given dignity. With this fresh look at the women of the Old Testament, the redemptive story of history throughout Scripture comes to life.

The lockdown of the last few years affected all of us in one way or another. Emily Colson and her son Max, who has autism, were stripped of outside community and the team who helped them. Desperate to find things for Max to do, Emily cleared the dining room table, got out all the paints, and let Max play with the colors. What happened after that has surprised everyone. Join us as we hear Emily and Max's journey of how God has loved and led them through this all.

Description: Is it OK to doubt? Is there a difference between healthy and unhealthy doubt? Our guest today, Stacie Johnson, knows what it's like to wrestle with doubts and develop a stronger faith along the way. She walks us through her seasons of doubt and shows us how God used these seasons to "thicken" her faith and reveal areas where she needed to grow. She also talks about the important distinction between knowing about God and truly knowing and living a life shaped by God.
