In this day and age, women are constantly bombarded with the world’s opinions on how they should look, how they should act, and what should be important to them. The latest guest on the iDisciple Podcast, author and speaker Erin Weidemann, is setting out to teach women of all ages to turn their backs on the world and pursue the life God has for them.
As founder and CEO of Bible Belles and an award-winning author of The Adventures of Rooney Cruz series, Erin Weidemann is committed to changing the world’s current definition of beauty. As a certified teacher, coach, and nationally recognized speaker, she offers speaking, workshops, and seminars to equip women of all ages to let go of fear and step into the unique leadership roles for which they were designed.
A five-time cancer survivor, Erin lives in San Diego, CA and speaks at events, conferences, fundraisers, churches, and schools. Erin is also the host of the Heroes For Her podcast, interviewing celebrities, actors, musicians, and other women who are living out their passions in line with their personal values.
Erin joined us to talk about how her life-changing cancer diagnosis changed the trajectory of her life, the inspiration behind her faith-based children’s books for little girls, and her advice for women who are struggling with their purpose and self-image.
We hope and pray that this conversation encourages and emboldens our female listeners and helps all of us raise up young women after God’s heart!
