Episode 50 - Girl Grit, Pt. 3 - Leah Tortorice, My Sister

Author: Despite Popular Belief February 8, 2021 Duration: 53:17
This is the 3rd and final installment of the Girl Grit series featuring the important, godly women in my life. In this episode I interviewed my older sister, Leah Tortorice. She is a survivor of Crohn' disease, was an ultrasound technician in ministry witnessing to abortion-minded girls/women, an assistant in the Emergency Room to women with botched abortions, and is now a mother of three kids with one on the way. Oh, and her love story with her husband started in the hospital immediately after her life-altering surgery caused by a third-world country strand of E. coli, prompting a local investigation by the CDC... You do not want to miss this.

In a world saturated with hot takes and shifting cultural narratives, Despite Popular Belief Podcast offers a grounded space for thoughtful, Reformed biblical theology. This isn't about adding another opinion to the noise; it's a deliberate return to Scripture as the ultimate authority. Each episode seeks to build up and edify those within the Christian faith, providing solid theological foundation and practical understanding for navigating life as a believer. The conversations here are rooted in the conviction that God's Word is sufficient and transformative, offering clarity when other voices create confusion. Beyond strengthening the church, this podcast also speaks directly to anyone on the outside looking in-whether you're curious about the God of the Bible or feel disconnected from contemporary church expressions. It’s for those who sense that mainstream spiritual discourse often misses the deeper, timeless truths. You’ll hear discussions that tackle real questions with intellectual honesty and pastoral care, always circling back to what the scriptures actually say. Tune in for a perspective that challenges prevailing assumptions not with trendy arguments, but with a faithful examination of foundational doctrine. The aim is to equip listeners to stand firm in their convictions and engage the world with wisdom, echoing the call to skillfully stand before kings. This is a podcast dedicated to substance over spectacle, where ancient text informs modern life.
