Summary
"Vulnerability" is one of those words that we would all probably define a little differently. That's why Dr. Joel Muddamalle is taking us straight to God's Word to answer the question: Does the Bible instruct us to embrace vulnerability as followers of Christ?
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- The difference between "being vulnerable" and "being authentic."
- The crucial distinction between "unwise vulnerability" and "wise vulnerability."
- How to overcome your fear or resistance to sharing with others.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, friends. Thanks for tuning in to the Proverbs 31 Ministries podcast where we share biblical truth for any girl in any season. I'm your host, Kaylee Olson, and I'm here with my friend and my co-host for today, |
| 0:21.9 | Shea Hill. Hey, Kaylee, I'm glad you're back. Welcome back to the podcast. I know. Here I am. |
| 0:27.2 | We haven't been here in a minute. I know. It's February when we're releasing it. I know. |
| 0:30.5 | Having having a baby takes you out, literally. Well, I'm glad to have you back. I am back. And I'm excited for this episode because it's another episode where you dive deep into a conversation with Dr. Joel Moodomale, who is our resident theologian. |
| 0:44.7 | And what I really appreciate about these episodes is truly the fact that you help bring Joel down to our level because we love Joel. |
| 0:51.7 | But we got to like bring him so much. |
| 0:53.9 | He does. Yeah. We got to bring him so much. He does. Yeah, he does. |
| 0:55.0 | We got to bring him down to where I live most of the time. It's probably where a lot of our |

| 1:40.0 | it's short to Acts, but there's so much more to it than that. Will you share with our listeners |
| 1:45.3 | what you and Joel are going to talk about today? Yes, I would love to. So I would say with Acts, |
| 1:49.7 | the two main topics that emerge are the Holy Spirit and community. And so in this episode today, |
| 1:55.8 | we actually talk about this buzzword vulnerability. And we dive into questions like, what does being vulnerable actually |
