Run Like a Woman
Run Like a Woman shines a light on the experiences of ordinary Australian Christian women. From stories of resilience to practical advice, women share about their lives and how their faith has guided, sustained and grown them. Hosted by Penny Mulvey and Bec Abbott, Run Like a Woman is part of the Eternity Podcast Network, which thousands of listeners tune into every week. We hope this podcast will offer you encouragement, community and inspiration. “Hearing raw, honest stories from other Christian women is a truly powerful thing. Even if their experience is different to mine, I have found it relatable and often healing. It resonates with me for a long time afterwards." – a Run Like a Woman listener
