Biblical womanhood is a largely debated topic in our culture and in our church. It seems that no matter where we turn someone is trying to tell us what it means to be a woman. The culture certainly cannot agree about what it means to be a woman, and the church cannot agree on what it means to be a woman. As women, we were made to give life. God uniquely designed and fashioned us for the purpose of growing life within us and nurturing life around us. Each Tuesday, you can join Leigh Ann Dutton for a conversation about what it means to be a woman...a true woman...a biblical woman. The Made to Give Life Podcast is dedicated to helping you get crystal clear on your purpose, so you can become the woman of God you were created to be. It is time to reclaim the life we were created for. It is time that we return to God’s original design for womanhood and start living as though God’s Word is true. It is time that we take up the torch of influence we have as women for the purpose of breathing life back into our families, our churches, and community for the sake of the Gospel. It is time that we rebel against our culture and refuse to listen to the lies of Satan because there is no better time to be a woman than right now.
