Rachael AdamsGod's Design for Female Friendship: A Conversation with Natalie Runion
August 26, 2025 ● 30 minShare this episode
Have you ever wrestled with the tension of female friendships? One day it feels like a refuge, the next like a rivalry. Too often, even in the Church, women can struggle to truly trust—or even like—other women.
That’s why I was so excited to sit down with bestselling author Natalie Runion to talk about her new book, I Don’t Even Like Women. In it, Natalie flips the script on the narratives that keep us divided and reminds us that God designed friendships with other women to be life-giving, healing, and deeply purposeful.
In our conversation, Natalie shares how:
- We can dismantle the lies that distance us from one another.
- Past trauma doesn’t disqualify us from finding safe, meaningful friendships.
- Humor and honesty can free us from comparison, fear, and insecurity.
- Healthy female friendships equip us to live boldly into our God-given callings.
This episode is for anyone who’s ever wondered: Are women my competition or my collaborators? My rivals or my refuge? I promise you’ll walk away with hope, encouragement, and practical tools for building friendships that last.
Grateful to be on this journey of love and friendship with you,
Rachael
