Rachel Jankovic on Identity, Christian Women, and the Mission Field of Motherhood

 

How are Christian women to respond to the onslaught of lies barraging them from the surrounding culture about who they are and the basis of their identity? And how is motherhood a “mission field” for the Christian woman? This week Rachel Jankovic, pastor’s daughter and author based in Moscow, Idaho, tackles these questions with whit, flare, and deep biblical wisdom that’s rare.

Be forewarned—Scott and Alex were a bit punchy for the recording of this episode.

Why You Matter and How to Deal With It and Loving the Little Years and has been featured on sites including Desiring God.
