I AM A WOMAN

Jennifer Strickland

What is a Woman, and what is her purpose? Some people don’t even know the answer to that question anymore. In a culture that degrades the value of being female, do girls even look forward to womanhood? With all they’ve seen online, maybe not, and I don’t blame them. The media promotes a false image of women that doesn’t ring true for most of us. If you are anything like me, you just want to be a better friend, wife, mother, sister, daughter — or you are a single woman who wants to use your voice to bring positive change in your home, family, and nation — and help the people that matter to you most. At the I AM A WOMAN Podcast, we believe in promoting positive views of men and women, and shining a light for the next generation. Remember, I am a Woman, and My Name Means Life!

    The Pro-Life Debate with Abby Johnson

    This is one of my favorite interviews! Abby Johnson, founder of Pro-Love Ministries, helps us understand the humanity behind what happens in abortion clinics and how to love people on both sides of the debate. Abby Johnson has always been fiercely determined to help women in need. This desire led her to a career with Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider, and ultimately caused her to flee the organization, becoming an outspoken advocate for the pro-life movement. During her eight years with Planned Parenthood, Abby quickly rose through the organization’s ranks to become a clinic director. However, she grew increasingly disturbed by what she witnessed. Abortion was a product that Planned Parenthood was selling, not an unfortunate necessity they were trying to decrease. Still, Abby loved the women who entered her clinic and cared for her co-workers. Despite her growing unrest, she remained and worked to support women in crisis. Everything changed on September 26, 2009, when Abby was asked to assist with an ultrasound-guided abortion. She watched in horror as a 13-week-old baby fought for its life but ultimately lost it at the hands of the abortionist. At that moment, she fully grasped what abortion truly was and the cause she had dedicated her life to. A dramatic transformation washed over Abby. Desperate and confused, she sought help from a local pro-life group. She vowed to advocate for life in the womb and expose abortion for what it truly is. Today, Abby travels across the globe sharing her story, educating the public about pro-life issues, advocating for the unborn, and reaching out to abortion clinic staff still working in the industry. She founded And Then There Were None, a ministry designed to assist abortion clinic workers in transitioning out of the industry. Since 2012, this ministry has helped over 680 workers leave the abortion field. In 2019, Abby also founded ProLove Ministries, an umbrella organization to house pro-life projects and affiliations that fill gaps in the movement. Abby lives in Texas with her husband and their eight precious children.

    The Fight for Female in 2025

    I am so honored to have Lisa Bevere on the show today. She is one of the very few well-known Christian leaders who has spoken publicly about the dismantling of womanhood in our culture and the undermining of women’s worth in the church.  In her new book The Fight for Female,  she says the idea of womanhood is being assailed on all fronts: sexualized by our culture, eliminated from language, and silenced by the church. For decades, both sexes have been systematically undermined and stripped of their strength. Male and female were originally created as a power union, but that turned into a power struggle. Lisa and I agree on one thing: it’s time to unite and be confident in our divine identity. It’s time to raise up a positive banner for women and fight for female! You can be a part of this commission by modeling the truth to younger generations: womanhood is a gift and an identity given to us by God for His glory.
