Is 'dependency' a bad word?

Leah Libresco Sargeant describes herself as an author, speaker and, interestingly, instigator. She's written for such publications as "First Things," "The American Conservative," and "Commonweal," and has been a guest on CNN as well as at "Theology on Tap" events in multiple countries. Her interests include religion, statistics, and the theater. She grew up Jewish and atheist, and in 2012, converted to Christianity after many vigorous discussions and a thorough exploration of its claims. Currently, Leah works on family policy at a think tank in Washington, D.C., where she and her husband, Alexi, and their three young children reside.   SHOW NOTES: Leah's newest book: The Dignity of Dependence: A Feminist Manifesto: https://www.amazon.com/Dignity-Dependence-Feminist-Manifesto-Catholic/dp/0268210330 Leah's second book: Building The Benedict Option: A Guide to Gathering Two or Three Together in His Name: https://www.amazon.com/Building-Benedict-Option-Gathering-Together/dp/1621642178/ Leah's conversion story: Arriving at Amen: https://www.amazon.com/Arriving-Amen-Seven-Catholic-Prayers/ Leah's Substack, "Other Feminisms": https://www.otherfeminisms.com/ Leah's website: https://leahlibresco.com/  Leah's conversion story on video (2015): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kThUVIe704I Roxane's tribute to sidewalk advocate Lila Harmsen: https://www.inforum.com/opinion/columns/salonen-well-done-good-and-faithful-servant-lila
