Have you ever felt misunderstood? There can be something so frustrating when you do not feel heard or understood. In today’s conversation, Shelby and Krystal discuss when we as women are most tempted to feel misunderstood as well as the responses that often come out of feeling that way. We can sometimes dismiss the “respectable” sins such as pride but Scripture is clear to point us toward away from pride and toward a humble posture. By walking in humility, we seek to honor the Lord and others in the way we process and respond to situations where we feel misunderstood.

Do you feel weak? Do you struggle to admit your weaknesses? As Christians, seeing our weaknesses can actually be a good thing because it pushes us to rely on the Lord for His strength. Emily Jensen joined us for this thought provoking conversation! Emily is the co-founder and content director of Risen Motherhood, and author of the new book, “He is Strong.” In it, Emily shares relatable stories about her own feelings of weakness and points you to the gospel for wisdom, hope, and comfort.  The opinions of guests on the Daily Grace podcast do not represent the opinions of The Daily Grace Co., and we do not necessarily endorse the resources that they recommend or mention on the show.

In today's episode, we hear the story of an unlikely convert—Rosaria Butterfield. Rosaria was a tenured women’s studies Professor at Syracuse University who adopted a lesbian identity. In 1997, she began reading the Bible as research for a book she planned to write. After reading large portions of Scripture and being invited into the home of a pastor where her questions were welcomed and answered, Rosaria converted to Christianity in 1999. In this episode, she shares her story of coming to Christ and how that resulted in her losing almost everything—but gaining eternal life in Christ.   The opinions of guests on the Daily Grace podcast do not represent the opinions of The Daily Grace Co., and we do not necessarily endorse the resources that they recommend or mention on the show.

We may think that we can’t memorize Scripture because we have terrible memories or that we don’t have time. But in today’s episode, Glenna Marshall shows us what a few minutes a day can do to transform your walk with the Lord and the way you engage with His Word. Glenna has seen the benefits of Scripture memory firsthand as she has incorporated it into pockets of time throughout her day. She recently wrote a book all about it titled, Memorizing Scripture: The Basics, Blessings, and Benefits of Meditating on God's Word. If you have struggled in the past to commit Scripture to memory, then you won’t want to miss this week’s episode!

There’s no doubt about it—we are busy people. We live in a world that values and prioritizes hustle and busyness. Sadly, this impacts our spiritual lives as we push aside the most important thing (being with God in His Word) and trade it for the seemingly urgent things in front of us. The truth is if we have time for Netflix and Instagram, we have time to spend with Jesus. The question is—how are we prioritizing our time and our lives to ensure that we make time for what matters most? We hope this conversation reminds you that you are not alone in whatever season you are experiencing and that the God of the universe sees you in the midst of it all. It is during the busiest times that we need to cling to Him all the more.

When it comes to the church, we often talk about the hard and holy, but do we talk about the hope and holy? Natalie Runion from Raised to Stay is on today’s podcast to talk about all of this and so much more! Natalie is a pastor’s kid who went on to serve on church staff for many years. She experienced what many of us have experienced: hurt, betrayal, pain, confusion, exhaustion. But instead of turning her back on the Church, she leaned in to see what the Lord had for her in the midst of the suffering. Natalie’s story is one of surrender and we know you will be encouraged by it.    The opinions of guests on the Daily Grace podcast do not represent the opinions of The Daily Grace Co., and we do not necessarily endorse the resources that they recommend or mention on the show.

Show Notes:   This is the final episode in our “Women and….” series where we’ve been talking about how to navigate tricky spaces such as calling, work, home, church, and mental health as a woman. We knew that we couldn’t wrap up this series without talking and navigating leadership roles as a woman, because all women lead in some capacity!   In this episode, Kristin shares about her own journey of leadership, talks us through some leadership pitfalls and how to avoid them, and gets really honest about the challenges she faces as a woman leader. We are so grateful for her vulnerability and wisdom!
