SHOW SUMMARY

In this episode of the Fearless Faith Radio Show, Mary Grothe interviews Joanna Meyer, a leading voice in the integration of faith and work for women. Joanna shares her personal journey and the inspiration behind her book, "Women, Work, and Calling." They discuss the discipleship gap for Christian women in the workplace and the importance of equipping women for godly influence in public life. Joanna highlights the four key areas of identity, intimacy, influence, and imagination that guide women in their work and calling. They also explore the concept of fearlessness in faith and how it can manifest in various ways, from setting healthy boundaries to asking for forgiveness and embracing rest.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The discipleship gap for Christian women in the workplace is a significant challenge that needs to be addressed. There is a need for biblical and theological frameworks to guide women in understanding their roles in public life.
Women have a unique opportunity to bring the goodness, beauty, and truth of God into their workplaces. They can be co-creators with God in their roles and have a significant influence on their communities.
Fearlessness in faith can take different forms, from setting healthy boundaries and embracing rest to asking for forgiveness and engaging in loving conversations. It is about living counter-culturally and being led by the Lord in every aspect of life.
The concept of pilgrimage, trusting God on the journey, is essential in cultivating fearlessness in faith. It involves recognizing that God is at work in every corner of creation and seeking His guidance and presence in all aspects of life.

QUOTES

“Fearlessness often means living in a way that's counter-cultural, that doesn't always mean that you're bold and brash. It just means that you're different and you're led by the Lord."
"There's a blessing for those of us that set our hearts on God. And that on those long walks, and I'm guessing there probably are some listeners that feel like they're in a moment like that where it's a long and winding road that they're on or they have a blister on their foot, that God blesses those whose hearts are set on Him in that pilgrimage."
