What kind of Woman will you Choose to Be?

Because think about how many choices you have already made today.

Before you ever turned on this podcast, you probably made dozens of them.

We make almost 35,000 decisions every single day.

And you think of that number, that is really hard to wrap your mind around, especially for us women.

We're making decisions not just for ourselves, but for our family, those people at work, finances, our homes, so many decisions that we can get decision fatigue.

But some of those decisions, they don't matter very much.

But others are slowly determining the women that we are becoming.

And that's what I want us to talk about today.

Because I believe one of the greatest lies women have bought into is that we can simply drift through this culture without it really shaping us.

But we can't.

If we aren't intentionally choosing who will we become, the world will gladly choose for us.

And the world has given women many choices.

We live in a culture that celebrates choice.

Often that word becomes controversial for many people.

But the world tells women that freedom means having every option available to us as women.

But this is why I wrote Stand Steady.

The world tells us that women can do anything.

And by that, it means that there are no moral boundaries or no need for discernment, just a wide open buffet.

And that's the message of the world.

Everything is available to us and nothing is off limits and that boundaries are from the enemy.

And really, we know that God gave us boundaries because he loves us.

And we've been told that freedom means putting ourselves first, that fulfillment is found in chasing our own ambitions, that family and faith should never require sacrifice from us as women, that boundaries are oppressive to us rather than protective.

And the confusion has become so deep that our culture struggles to define something as basic as what a woman is.

Men are welcome into women's sports, their locker rooms and bathrooms, while cultural leaders can't even say what a woman is, and they sit silent on the sidelines.

And right now, we see that the WNBA is going to have a meeting to discuss the definition of what a woman is and the participation of a transgender athlete.
