As I listen to men teaching and training, I’m learning so much. And even as I am reflecting what I’m hearing against my own experiences, and I need to adjust what I hear so that it makes sense and I can work with it in my context, I actually think there’s a richness in doing that. And I think even for the men in our conferences and training, they could gain from the riches of listening to women with different experiences. I think it would be important for both men and women to listen to more input from women.

Pod # 16 I talk about God who can completely lift my shame
I talk to someone who clearly knows a lot about doing missions in the Arab World. We talked about forgiveness in the Arab context, some keys to longevity, and bringing the Gospel to the least reach women in the region. We also take an important look at raising children on the field.
