#36 Are You Silencing, You?

Today we are continuing our three-part series on women’s voices. And as I spoke of in my last podcast, the truth is, as girls grow up to be women, they learn to talk less, they discover they are less listened to than their male counterparts. And over the years of pastoring, I’ve noticed that women even self silence. Let me give you an example of what I mean by that. I remember a woman sharing how she was mad at her husband because he’d spend his weekends playing golf. She felt like he didn’t consider her needs, like getting a break from the home and kids on the weekend while he’s golfing. I get that. That would make me mad too. NOW you’re going to tell him it’s his fault. Women self-silence for various reasons, one being they were taught this is what God expects from them- this is godliness. Stop it!
