Ep. 145: Contentment for Christian Women (A Chat with Tilly Dillehay)

About this episode

The episode discusses the concept of contentment for Christian women and the cultural influences that lead to feelings of bitterness and comparison.

What if we truly believe our contentment were not linked to our circumstances—that we really do have the ability to give thanks in all circumstances, as we’re exhorted to do by Scripture? What would it change? For the Christian woman mired in bitterness and comparison, the answer just might be “everything.” In this conversation with Tilly Dillehay, we explore the influences in modern culture that drive Christian women to consider themselves short-changed by their husbands, their children, and, ultimately, God. Join us for a thought-provoking show sure to step on your toes a little even while it encourages you to keep your eyes squarely focused on Christ.
