Lies Women Believe

<p>"I'm defined by what I do."</p><p>"I should be able to do it all."</p><p>"I have to be married and have kids for my life to matter."</p><p>"Women don't need theology."</p><p>These are some of the lies Christian women (or men) may be tempted to believe. On this episode of <a href="https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/podcasts/lets-talk-podcast/">Let's Talk</a>, Melissa Kruger, Jackie Hill Perry, and Jasmine Holmes unpack <i>why</i> we find these lies compelling as well as why we shouldn't believe them. Jasmine points out that a way to combat lies is to follow the example of Mary, sister of Lazarus, by "choosing the better portion," to sit at the feet of Jesus (Luke 10:38–42). We do that by reading and believing his Word.</p><p><strong>Mentioned in this episode:</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://store.thegospelcoalition.org/tgc/products/2944/counterfeit-gods"><i>Counterfeit Gods</i></a> by Tim Keller</li></ul><p><strong>Related content:</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/five-lies-about-your-body/">5 Lies About Your Body</a></li><li><a href="https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/podcasts/tgc-podcast/5-misconceptions-about-singleness/">5 Misconceptions About Singleness</a></li><li><a href="https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/5-lies-christans-tell-money/">5 Lies Christians Tell About Money</a></li><li><a href="https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/3-reasons-women-need-good-theology/">3 Reasons Women Need Good Theology</a></li><li><a href="https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/podcasts/q-a-podcast/what-does-god-say-to-those-who-struggle-with-body-image/">TGC Q&A: What Does God Say to Those Who Struggle with Body Image?</a></li></ul><p>This season of Let’s Talk is sponsored by RTS Global, the online program at Reformed Theological Seminary.
