Welcome to the Paul Tripp podcast, where pastor and bestselling author Dr. Paul David Tripp

connects the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life. What does it mean to be a strong

woman? Does it have something to do with her career, or her family, or her social status?

In today's episode, we'll continue through Paul's Bible study in the book of Proverbs

by looking at the final four themes from this book of wisdom.

And in today's first theme, Paul wants to look at the theme of womanhood and how a strong

woman fears the Lord.

Well, I can say with enthusiasm, I've been waiting for this theme.

women.
