Woman Alive | The podcast for Christian women

What would you do if God asked you to walk away from everything you’d worked for? Nellah Kunzwa was a successful YouTuber, doctor and founder of Biblical Boss Babe, with around 100,000 followers and a thriving online ministry. But at the height of her influence, she felt God tell her to step away from social media and learn to be ‘famous at home’. Speaking to Premier Woman Alive commissioning editor, Jemimah Wright, Nellah shares her extraordinary journey of faith – from a life-changing encounter with God at 17 to building an online ministry reaching thousands of women – and why she discovered that obedience matters more than influence.

Naomi Partridge, co-founder of HOLOS Kombucha, left a successful corporate career after a life-changing encounter with God – a journey that eventually took her to Cambodia, where she discovered how business could help women rebuild their lives after exploitation. In this interview with Woman Alive’s Jemimah Wright, Naomi shares how God stripped away her identity in achievement, led her into anti-trafficking work and ultimately brought together faith, purpose and business in a very unexpected way.

This very special episode is our first EVER live video recording with an audience of Woman Alive readers, writers, friends and friends of the podcast! Today’s conversation on The Sisterhood, is inspired by International Women’s Day.

We live in a culture which seemingly takes any opportunity to pit women against each other. In the Bible, we have examples like Rachel and Leah competing for Jacob’s affection – representing the complexity of the relationships we have with other women.

Our host, Tola-Doll Fisher and her guests ask, how do we shift from high school mean girl culture, to women supporting women – at church, at work – even on the school run?
And what happens when we respond to Jesus’ prayer for unity (John 17) and intentionally curate safe spaces for women?

The Right Reverend Dr Jill Duff is the Anglican Bishop of Lancaster, a Premier trustee, and an author. Jill’s new book is called Held in God's Gaze (SPCK) and aims to help readers discover the wisdom, prayer, and spiritual insight of saints and mystics across Christian history.


The live audience Q&A questions in this episode were:
1. Has Jesus also redeemed the desire to be “liked” that Jill referred to after the fall? And if yes, how do we live in the redeemed state?


2. Meanness can be rooted in anxiety and comparison. Do you think this is more of a challenge in the digital, social media age that girls and women exist in today?


3. ⁠How does the Gospel help us understand sisterhood as part of God's design as opposed to just a social construct?


4. ⁠What would you say to women who have experienced heartbreak from sisterhood and are afraid to establish new sisterhoods?

5. ⁠⁠Do you think that sometimes we can have unrealistic expectations of each other as women and the capacity that we have to help uphold others?


6. ⁠Have any of you had to deal with betrayal by a sister, and if yes, how did you heal from it, or navigate the situation?

If you could get a preview of your future, a year, five or ten years from now, would you? A recent study by mobile network provider 02 revealed 78% of 25–34-year-old in the UK rely on their horoscopes to make major life decisions, and some Christians are guilty of going from one event to another seeking a “word of prophecy”.
In Leviticus 19:26 we read very clear instructions, “Do not practice divination or seek omens”.

On this episode, host Tola-Doll Fisher and her guests ask - why are we so obsessed with knowing the future?
