It was such a joy to chat with my dear friend Alison about her personal testimony out of the new age and how the Christian faith is where she has found, by far, the most fulfilling expression of femininity. (Apologies for the poor sound quality in the first few minutes! It improves as the podcast goes on, I promise!) Alison and I recently joined forces to create a unique mentorship group for Chris...

It is a common refrain among traditionally-minded women that a man should be able to come home to a clean home and relax, rather than be bogged down with requests to help with dishes, diapers, or other sundry household tasks.
