Hey friends!

On today’s episode of the podcast, I’m joined by Jen Oshman—author, wife, mom, Bible teacher, and the author of the new Bible study Very Good: What the Bible Says About Being a Woman, which releases Wednesday, April 1.

This conversation is such an important one.

If you’ve ever wrestled with questions about being a woman, your place in the Church, your worth, your gifts, or what God actually says about women in Scripture, this episode is for you.

Jen shares her powerful story of coming to faith, walking through a complicated upbringing, and learning what it means to fully surrender her life to the Lord. We also talk about her years serving overseas, raising daughters across different cultures, and what led her to create this Bible study that walks women through Scripture from Genesis to Revelation.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Jen’s personal faith journey and how God met her in broken places
• The freedom that comes from realizing “you are not your own”
• Why Genesis matters when talking about women and their role
• How culture has shaped the conversation around women
• Why so many women feel unseen in the Church
• The beauty of women being created as intentional, valuable, God-designed image bearers
• Why the truth that women are “very good” matters now more than ever

One of my favorite parts of this conversation is the reminder that women were never an afterthought in God’s design. We were created with purpose, value, strength, and dignity—and that truth should shape how we live, serve, and walk in the world.

Jen also shares why this conversation matters deeply in the Church right now, especially in a culture that keeps distorting identity and confusing what God has made clear.

If you’ve ever felt unseen, sidelined, or unsure of where you fit, I hope this episode reminds you of this one powerful truth:

God made you on purpose, and He calls what He made very good.
