About this episode

Leaning into a big call on your life often requires a healthy dose of courage – of which this week’s guest has no shortage of! Beloved Bible study leader, bestselling author, speaker and all-around visionary, Beth Moore, is a faith leader familiar to many – but until recently, known by few. This week Beth takes Paula on the deeply personal journey she’s been on that led her to release her much-anticipated memoir, “All My Knotted Up Life”. 

After spending decades writing, leading and speaking to sold-out arenas around the globe, Beth opens up to Paula about the critical cultural moment that led this lifelong Southern Baptist to use her voice (and her Tweets) to stand up for women. Her actions ignited a public firestorm within the church about women’s roles, which would eventually lead Beth to break away from the denomination she was born into. Hear the untold story behind her deep conviction, her message for anyone finding themself surprised by where their calling has taken them and why she says teaching aerobics is still one of the best things she’s done in her life! Note: While this conversation is a healthy dose of heavy and light, some content may not be suitable for all ears. Listener discretion is advised. 

Check out Beth’s new picture book, “All My Knotted Up Life”
