Really enjoyed the deep reflection of the meaning and practice of Lent and Josh Bales explaining some of his beautiful lyrics. I’m a big fan of you both!

I look forward to Wednesdays and getting to listen to the latest episode of SWP. It is so quality! I often am left with things that I share with friends and family, including my husband and sons.

I love the peaks into your guests’ lives. It’s inspiring to hear about ordinary women just like me doing so much. Some times brave, intriguing, unusual, thought provoking, challenging, sad and happy. Thank you

A huge thank you for a podcast that has enriched my thinking, theology, identity, and relationship with the Lord for about two years now. The variety of stories of amazing, strong women glorifies God and calls me live more boldly for Him This week’s podcast with your hubbies was excellent and it tied in with the Summit Ministries Church curriculum I'm helping teach to a little crew of 2nd -5th graders: how God made humans in His image and "very good!" We are made very good as boys and girls!! Who thought this would be a revolutionary thing to say to children? Yet, here we are. This is one of my spheres of influence and I will use it to speak truth in love. Thank you! And thanks to your strong men!

Love this podcast. Makes my day when I see a new one has posted. Thank you for blessing your listeners with such wonderful examples of strong women.

I love this podcast and look forward to it coming out every week. As a strong woman i appreciate hearing the stories of other strong women and hearing how they are changing the world while still thriving in their homes. True strength to me is balancing and succeeding at both while changing the world for God. I am looking forward to who I get to meet next!

This podcast has been LIFE CHANGING! I’ve only been listening for 6-8 weeks but my world has been rocked. Each of the guest speakers has made such an impact. And recently all the testimonies on abortion have really impacted my view on the blessing of children. And how our world has such a wrong view of family and children. I am so incredibly thankful for how God has used this podcast to continue shaping and strengthening my views on womanhood and motherhood. Thank you so much for this ministry!

So glad I found this show!!! Absolutely wonderful, helpful, and NEEDED!!!! Thank you for your ministry!!!

Finding this podcast has been such a blessing! Every episode becomes my new favorite. What I especially love is it’s for all ages of women. Whether you are young, married, single, divorced, empty nester, retirement age, grandparent; you will gain more insight about your faith. My reading list continues to grow based on all the recommendations, which is another big plus. Whenever ask to recommend a podcast this is the one I give. I love being a woman so much more from listening!

I enjoyed your interview with Auntie Anne! But now I have to decide what my favorite pretzel is! There goes the diet.

I love Breakpoint and through it heard about The Strong Women podcast. Sarah Stonestreet chooses such interesting guests, most of whom I’ve never heard of before. She asks great questions, develops good rapport and has a very gentle way about her.

This honors the diverse women who are leaning into faithfulness as they honor the Lord, following His leading. Sarah is always asking excellent questions AND she makes it relatable. Subscribe for sure : )

Each episode is like going to a women's group to share stories!

Phenomenal resources are shared in this podcast to help overcome, superficial Christian understanding, and to dive deeper into solid, theological depth. I have also come across a number of wonderful resources for homeschooling. Majority, if not all, the episodes leave me feeling revived and encouraged. keep up the great work!

I’m so happy to have discovered this podcast. It had encouraged and challenged me. I have now read several of the books of some of the women and men interviewed on this podcast. And I have several in my wish list to read. Thank you for encouraging women without bashing men. This podcast gets better and better!

Always encouraging, thankful for this show!

As a man, I greatly admire the women on this podcast and the many other strong women I’ve interacted with in my life, both in and out of the Church. I love the wide range of perspectives that all point to the same Truths! It’s encouraging to know there are so many amazing women that God is using to do amazing things

I continually look forward to hearing all these strong women’s stories. They encourage me and challenge me to be an influence in the corner of the world Christ has placed me in at this time!

I love this podcast with Mrs Sarah and Erin! They are both so talented and sweet! It’s so encouraging as an almost 14 year old to hear this with my mom in the car! Thank you Mrs Sarah and Erin! I really loved the episode with Lola the adopted daughter! I can relate to her story!

This is my special treat on long road trips! I love hearing all the different perspectives of strong women from the past present and up-and-coming women of spiritual strength!!

Erin and Sarah do a great job of interviewing strong Christian women. Very helpful and inspiring for our up-and-coming generation of young women.

Great podcast ladies! Thanks so much for doing this!

This podcast features amazing women who help define what a woman is. Our beautiful diversity, strengths and hearts that show who we are.

So refreshing to listen to a podcast that brings in so many incredible guests. Women from all ages and experiences bring a wealth of knowledge and wisdom to help others grow in their faith and find strength in knowing they are not alone.

I am a 14 year old girl and these podcasts are so inspiring and motivational to me!!!! Thx so much 🥰 I will listen every day. Just the best!

I’ve loved the realness and raw discussions from a variety of strong women, many of which find their strengths in serving alongside strong men and raising children. God’s purposes are perfect. Strong women. Strong men. Both equally valuable. Both intrinsically unique in strengths to bolster the others’ “weaknesses”. Carry on, friends.

I so look forward to each podcast releases. So many inspiring women and topics. Definitely one of the most impactful podcasts I have stumbled across and SO glad to have found it!

You two and your guests do a great job of giving big cultural issues great breadth of understanding and also personal applications of their implications. Thanks for your hard work. I also like the way your interviews introduce us to the guest as a person, not just a set of ideas.

Thank you ladies so much for providing such a feast for the mind every week! I’m a new mom and artist and can’t tell you how much I’ve been blessed in listening to the conversations and guests on your show while I care for my little one and paint. May God continue to bless the work of your hearts and hands.

I have loved each story I have heard on this podcast and hearing how the Lord has worked and woven each testimony so beautifully and purposefully. I leave each podcast encouraged, which is rare these days when “good news” is hard to find. Keep going, ladies! Light up our dark world with the great stories of our sweet Savior!

Sarah and Erin have such a winsome way of interviewing and getting down deep with their guests - I am encouraged and inspired in different ways with each one. Thank you for your time, energy, and prayers that go into this podcast! 😊🙏

I love, love, love this podcast! Each guest is so unique and I love how Sarah and Erin interact with each one. I’ve learned so much by listening and been enriched in so many ways!

I look forward to new episodes whenever they come out, and love visiting the older ones as well. Thank you so much for bringing such refreshing and helpful content to the world. Sarah and Erin you are a blessing!!

I enjoy the different personalities that Sarah and Erin have, yet how well they lead together. It is evident they are good friends. They are well spoken in their questions and are insightful. They do not shy away from hard topics. I have found this podcast to be inspiring and I always leave encouraged. It expands my worldview and has stirred in me the desire to further purse studying apologetics. Thank you for your time and effort in creating this podcast. My husband and I also enjoy The Maven Podcast.

Sarah and Erin have such interesting and engaging conversations with women from varied backgrounds who have wonderful stories to tell. I learn something every time and go away encouraged and usually with a few more titles added to my “book wish list”. This is a favorite!

I love this podcast! I love hearing other women’s stories of how God has worked in their lives. I have learned so much about topics that may have never crossed my radar. I always walk away feeling incredibly encouraged!

So thankful for strong Godly woman willing to share the TRUTH in love with no apologies…. With so many lies in our ears daily : now more than ever this world needs a strong voice willing to shatter the lies! So thank you for the encouragement and helping me find my voice!

I enjoy the selection of guests and topics. The conversation between the guests and the hosts are honest, insightful, relevant and sometimes heart-wrenching (oh! How much I learned about a mother’s love listening to Shelley!) and sometimes funny. It’s a great time, sitting with Erin and Sarah, with my cup of coffee!

I am eager every week to listen to the next episode of Strong Women. The stories have been so incredibly inspiring and enlightening, making me think about things in ways I've never considered before. Hearing the work these women and men have done and the importance of it all has stirred me more than anything else in my life to really be a strong woman who is involved in her community and using the gifts God has given her. The consistent message week after week of doing simple things in powerful ways gives me a broad perspective on what that might look like in my life and how I could live that out. I have learned and grown so much this past year, with much help from the Strong Women podcast and other Colson Center podcasts. Thank you!

I love listening to this podcast. I didn’t grow up in a religious home so hearing women share their lives and how God has shaped them is insightful to me. The women in these podcasts are positive role models and to be learned from. I also like hearing about their favorite books to read!

Listening to the Strong Women Podcast has been such an encouragement to me the past few months. My baby has been in the NICU for 12 weeks now, and listening to the podcast has helped pass time at the hospital and on the drives back and forth. Hearing about other women’s faith has played a part in increasing my own faith in Gods goodness during this time of suffering. Thanks for all you ladies do!

Great variety of topics and wonderful interviews that inspire much thinking. I love sharing the interviews and information with my teen daughters. Thank you for your work in celebrating the strength and beauty of women.

Really disappointed with the latest podcast on valuing women. Lot of typical feminist and liberal takes in the episode. For example, pushing how Paul expected women to be speaking in the church based on one passage but not mentioning passage in 1 Timothy isn’t a fair Biblical take. I understand you can’t cover every passage in one podcast but the biased take is too obvious. I expected more from colson center production than typical feminist takes. How much of the women not feeling valued in the church is due to subscribing to feminist beliefs and ideas? The conversation is much more nuanced than this biased take.

These interviews with a great diversity of truly strong women is very inspiring, enlightening and encouraging. Well done, sincere and authentic conversation with women who will inspire you to be who you are. I look forward to each new episode every week!

In all the negative and depressing noise around us - this podcast is a place of encouragement and hope. The women interviewed are examples of faithfulness in their sphere’s of influence. I love hearing the testimonies! I have learned about so many ministries and books and resources through this podcast. I love most of all that they point us to the Lord and His faithfulness!

I love “visiting “ with such a wide variety of strong and godly women as I listen to the podcast. My world is expanded, my spirit is refreshed and my imagination is stoked while listening.

Consistently relevant and valuable conversations. Wonderfully real facilitation. A breath of fresh air in a wild world.

This has become one of my favorites

I really enjoyed listening to this interview. It was one of my favorite of your shows. Very inspiring and thought-provoking. Thank you.

I believe I have listened to every episode, and started listening when your podcast started. Episode 62 hit me just at the right time (although 38 years ago, around age 12 would have been nice). If you’re reading this, go listen with an open ear… Blessings! Chas(dot)
