Most of us have experienced being misunderstood at some point in our lives. Honestly, it has happened to me more times than I can count and each time it is simply heartbreaking. This often looks like being misheard, mischaracterized, or misrepresented by family, friends, or even strangers.Even worse than a single instance of being misunderstood is when we go through a whole season of misunderstanding in which the people around us either question or judge our motives or actions. You may have found yourself asking, How do I correct these misconceptions? Should I try to defend myself? Will that make me look guilty? How can I find joy if somebody believes something about me that isn’t true?My guest today dug deep into this extensively in her own life and in God’s Word to bring us hope. Mary DeMuth is an author of over 40 books including her most recent book, The Most Misunderstood Women of the Bible. She is also a podcaster, literary agent, artist, and speaker.In this episode, you’ll hear:The women of the Bible who were misunderstoodWhy you don’t have to feel pressure to jump to defend yourselfHow to find the right balance between speaking the truth and being loving through our wordsThe importance of learning to recover our curiosityIt was such an honor to have this conversation with Mary. I hope it's a support to you this week!Show Notes: https://jillsavage.org/mary-demuth-94/
