In this heartfelt episode, we sit down with Mary DeMuth. Mary shares powerful insights about how women have often been marginalized throughout history—both in the church and society. Together, we explore how Jesus broke cultural norms to include and empower women, and how God consistently chose women to fulfill His plans in the Bible. Mary’s message is one of hope and encouragement: If God calls you, you can step up, speak out, and serve with confidence.
