The Strong Women Podcast

In our culture, if a woman is said to have strength it usually means she is competing with a man or acting like a man. What if there is strength in the way God made us, as women? There is and we recognize it when we see it. We are excited to introduce you to women who display true strength, not in spite of being women but because of it.

    S5 16: Helping Kids Heal with Horses with Kim Tschirret

    Growing up with an emotionally abusive father, Kim Tschirret believed she needed to perform for love and approval. She found solace during her turbulent adolescence in taking care of her horse. After she met Christ, He began to heal her and eventually led her to open an equine therapy ministry to help kids in crisis find healing. Today, she shares how God’s steadfast love has taught her to rest in Him and share His comfort with others.    Hope Reins  The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer    The Church today is often seen as irrelevant. But this couldn’t be further from the truth. At the Colson Center, we believe the Church is God’s gift to the world, called to be present and active in this cultural moment without being taken captive by it. In other words, the Church is meant to “move the world,” not move with the world. That’s why we equip believers with a Christian worldview through our media, training programs, and events—because a Church that “moves the world” starts with one faithful Christian. We need your help to continue strengthening the Church in 2025. Thanks to a generous matching donation, every gift between now and December 31 will be DOUBLED until we meet the full match. Help us strengthen the Church to move the world in 2025.

    S5 14: Parenting Adult Children with Gaye Clark

    From bookstore shelves to social media groups, there’s no shortage of guidance out there for raising babies, toddlers, and teens. But what about those of us parenting adult children? What does it look like to love them well without over-parenting or disengaging? What if they’re estranged from us? Gaye Clark joins us this week to share her well-earned wisdom about walking with Christ as we parent adult children.    Loving Your Adult Children: The Heartache of Parenting and the Hope of the Gospel by Gaye B. Clark  Things Not Seen by Jon Bloom  The Splendid and the Vile by Erik Larson  The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt     In collaboration with Focus on the Family, we are excited to announce the next Lighthouse Voices on Tuesday, November 12 at 7pm MT. Lighthouse Voices is a livestreamed event series designed to help Christians navigate today’s cultural landscape with truth and love.  Joining us this month is author and theologian Os Guinness, who will answer the question, “What is the True Meaning of Love?” Contrary to popular belief, concept of “free love” proposed by the sexual revolution is neither freeing nor loving. It’s costly and dehumanizing. But God’s design for love and sex is good, true, and lifegiving. What would it look like for us to start a Christian sexual revolution that displays God’s design for love to a world that’s longing for the real thing? Join us on November 12 for answers and encouragement. This conversation will be followed by a Q&A and book signing.

    S5 09: Are Christians Really Pro-Life? With Riley Schneider

    What anti-life lies do pro-life Christians believe? According to Riley Schneider, many Christians have subtle assumptions about children, parenting, and flourishing that contradict their pro-life convictions. And these lies are hindering the pro-life movement. As a young woman who faced death head-on, Riley is passionate about promoting life by advocating for unborn babies and parents in crisis. Tune in to hear her story and learn what Christians must do if we’re truly going to protect vulnerable lives in our anti-life culture. Voices for the Voiceless  Students for Life poll  Traction by Gino Wickman  Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by J.K. Rowling  Strong Women is a listener funded program from The Colson Center. To join our community of women who make this free program possible, visit colsoncenter.org/swmonthly. We are excited to officially invite you to the 2025 Colson Center National Conference in Louisville, Kentucky, May 30 to June 1, 2025. Our theme this year is “Be the Church.” We talk a lot about the Church on Strong Women, because the Church is God’s plan A for restoring all things. In our day and age, it’s easy to think of the Christian faith only in individual terms. But God is not just saving individuals—He's making a People, the Church. And before the Church can do what we’re called to do, we must first understand who we are as the body of Christ. We'll explore that question this year, and hear from fantastic speakers like Rosaria Butterfield, Scott Klusendorf, Carl Trueman, and many others. So, come join us at CCNC 2025 and learn with the Church what it means to be the Church.
