You need real answers to questions like: “What kind of character does this guy really have?” “Where does his heart stand when it comes to God’s Word?” “Is his love for the Lord visible in his daily actions?” “Does he truly live with Scripture as the highest authority in his life?” In today’s episode, Kristen and Bethany get real about what it looks like to truly discern a man’s heart — so you can make wise, Christ-centered relationship decisions that stand the test of time.

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1480984/open_sms] Is it possible to pursue godly femininity without getting tangled in legalism, fear, or performance-driven faith?  In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with best-selling author and speaker Leslie Ludy to unpack the subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) ways legalism can creep into conservative Christian womanhood. We talk about the pressure to "look the part," the danger of equating holiness with a lifestyle checklist, and how to break free from rule-based faith and walk in true intimacy with Christ.  Whether you’ve felt burdened by expectations or just want to cultivate a deeper, more authentic relationship with Jesus, this conversation will challenge, encourage, and refresh your soul. Get ready for a grace-filled reset on what it really means to be a set-apart woman. **We hope you enjoy this replay from episode from 181**  Connect with Leslie Ludy [https://setapart.org/] Made to Be She: Reclaiming God's Plan for Fearless Femininity [https://a.co/d/a7IPZPP] FREE BOOK - Battling Sexual Temptation: A Biblical Toolkit for Christian Girls [https://mailchi.mp/girldefined/battle] Support the show [https://www.patreon.com/girldefined] RESOURCES: Made to Be She: Reclaiming God's Plan for Fearless Femininity [https://a.co/d/bD9LAEV] Love Defined: Embracing God's Vision for Lasting Love and Satisfying Relationships [https://www.amazon.com/Love-Defined-Kristen-Clark/dp/0801075564/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3UU29A86GOT84&keywords=love+defined&qid=1700493559&s=books&sprefix=love+defined%2Cstripbooks%2C119&sr=1-1] Sex, Purity and the Longings of a Girl's Heart [https://www.girldefined.com/sex-purity-and-longings] Support the Show [https://www.patreon.com/girldefined] FOLLOW US: JOIN US ON PATREON [https://www.patreon.com/girldefined] GirlDefined.com [https://girldefined.com/] Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/girldefined/] YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/girldefined]

But what if those stories aren’t even real? What if they're simply propaganda?  In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on the glossy lies and exposing how these narratives are shaping our view of sex, identity, and womanhood—and not for the better. God’s design for womanhood isn’t boring, outdated, or shame-filled—but actually freeing, fulfilling, and rooted in truth.  Sister, you don’t have to chase culture’s version of empowerment. Let’s discover how to walk confidently in real freedom, defined by God—not Cosmo.

But is that actually true…? * What if gender roles aren’t sexist, but sacred? * What if God meant for men to surge with testosterone and for women to overflow with estrogen? * What if wombs and muscles weren’t random, but radically intentional? According to Scripture, the differences between men and women aren’t outdated — they’re divine. And they hold the key to understanding who we really are.  For more on God's incredible design for your womanhood, grab our newest book, Made to Be She: Reclaiming God's Plan for Fearless Femininity.  [https://a.co/d/6dux8SO] Support the show [https://www.patreon.com/girldefined] RESOURCES: Made to Be She: Reclaiming God's Plan for Fearless Femininity [https://a.co/d/bD9LAEV] Love Defined: Embracing God's Vision for Lasting Love and Satisfying Relationships [https://www.amazon.com/Love-Defined-Kristen-Clark/dp/0801075564/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3UU29A86GOT84&keywords=love+defined&qid=1700493559&s=books&sprefix=love+defined%2Cstripbooks%2C119&sr=1-1] Sex, Purity and the Longings of a Girl's Heart [https://www.girldefined.com/sex-purity-and-longings] Support the Show [https://www.patreon.com/girldefined] FOLLOW US: JOIN US ON PATREON [https://www.patreon.com/girldefined] GirlDefined.com [https://girldefined.com/] Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/girldefined/] YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/girldefined]
