39: Can You Be a Strong Christian Woman Without the Label? Faith, Femininity & the Tension In Between with Sarah Stonestreet

In this episode, I sit down with Sarah Stonestreet—host of The Strong Women Podcast, homeschool mom, reader of the classics, and Community Outreach Director at Saint George’s Anglican Church in Colorado Springs. Sarah shares her journey to starting a podcast that highlights the strength and stories of women shaped by faith.We dive into big questions: -What does it mean to be a strong woman today? -How does the Bible actually portray strength in women? -And is there a tension within Christian circles when it comes to the term “strong woman”? Sarah offers insights from her own life and the many women she’s interviewed over the years, along with thoughts on raising both daughters and sons who value strength rightly.We don’t fully agree on all aspects of the conversation and you may not either—but that’s the beauty of conversation. Medicine Motherhood Missions exists to hear the journeys and stories. Sarah started her podcast from her perspective of womanhood within the constraints of traditional Christianity. She even herself notes that traditionalist confuse strengths of woman as the roles we play instead of our design, value we bring to the table and gifting. This episode invites us all to consider different perspectives on calling, character, and courage—whether in careers, parenting, or faith.If you’ve ever wrestled with how to balance strength and humility, ambition and calling, this episode is for you. It may not have all the answers and we just touch on the tip of the iceberg but it's a good conversation starter! 🎧 Learn more about Sarah and The Strong Women Podcast at the end of the episode.Connect with Sarah: https://colsoncenter.org/strong-womenConnect with Johanna LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/johannamoses/⁠Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/medicine_motherhood_missions/⁠www.johannamoses.com
