It's story time! Come and listen to how an ancient story about Deborah the judge can teach us to break free from traditional gender roles and society's expectations. I’m excited to share an excerpt from my brand-new book, “Tried and True: Marriage Advice from 12 Imperfect Biblical Couples,” which highlights Deborah's incredible leadership, her secure identity in God, and her husband Lappidoth's quiet strength and support.

Key Takeaways:

  • Why women are NOT second-class citizens in God’s kingdom and how our calling matters

  • How men can champion their wife’s gifts and leadership without comparison and competition

  • Practical tips on honoring one another’s unique roles, shaking off cultural pressures, and letting your relationships be Spirit-led.

Why You Should Listen: This episode isn’t just for those struggling with gender roles in marriage—it’s an invitation for everyone to reflect on what God has called YOU to do. If you’ve ever felt pressured to fit a certain template or questioned your role, you’ll find comfort, inspiration, and practical encouragement here.
