We promised you an episode on identity and here it is! What happens when we don't know or believe what God says about Himself or us? We're left spending our lives seeking the approval of others or developing our sense of self-worth.
We need to find our worth in Christ. That allows us to focus on the work He has given us to do. It also allows us to treat other people on the basis of how God treats us instead of how other people treat us.
(Yes, there is something wonky with Lisa's sound. We're working on it. Sorry!)
About International Women's Day
We talk about women's issues a lot on this podcast. But we realized that we've never broken down why we think it's important to have these discussions. Why does what we believe about being a woman matter?

It's Lisa this week with a solo episode. She discusses her tendency on Gretchen Rubin's Four Tendencies. (Find yours here!) She's a questioner. She likes to ask questions and if there's a good reason, she'll be on board with almost anything.
This episode breaks down the intersection of why we should read our Bibles and how we are transformed to be more like Jesus. She's going to walk you through something she's been learning in her personal Bible study; the main verse is 2 Corinthians 3:18.
Here's the song from her childhood that she promised you as well.
For this podcast episode we are defining leadership as "a conscious stewardship of influence." (This is not a discussion about women in leadership positions in church.) We all know men and women who are have led others in discipleship and how they have lived without having a position or a platform or a title. How do we cultivate this in our own lives?
Leadership looks like coming in and serving the people around you. How do we use our influence in our marriages, with our children, with our social media, and in our friendships?
