SIGNIFICANT Women

HOST: Carol McLeod

CAROL MCLEOD MINISTRIES

On this week’s episode of Significant Women, I welcome my sister in the faith, Natalie Runion. Natalie is an author, pastor, and communicator with a passion for helping women walk in unity instead of comparison or competition. In our honest and heartfelt conversation, we talk about gossip, drama, friendship, and the hard reality that sometimes—even in the church—we don’t always like each other. But Natalie’s wisdom and biblical insights invite us back to a place of grace, generosity, and Spirit-filled sisterhood.

Key Points

• The surprising story behind Natalie’s book title: I Don’t Even Like Women
• Childhood friendships and why adult relationships can feel more complicated
• Gossip as a symptom of deeper heart issues—and how to lead groups away from it
• Comparison and how the story of Mary and Elizabeth teaches us to celebrate one another instead of compete
• Deborah and Jael: two women who modeled partnership and obedience for God’s glory
• Navigating “high drama” friendships and learning emotional regulation
• What true friendship looks like: transparency, listening, and accessibility
• Obedience as the key to a truly significant life
• Scriptures that anchor Natalie: Matthew 10:16, Luke 1 (Mary and Elizabeth), Judges 4–5 (Deborah & Jael)

Resources Mentioned

• I Don’t Even Like Women by Natalie Runion
• Pete Scazzero’s Emotionally Healthy Spirituality series (leadership, relationships)
• Key Scriptures: Luke 1, Judges 4–5, Matthew 10:16, James 3
