Women on Mission - Ep. 335

December 08, 2025 • Rock Solid Families • Season 8 • Episode 335

In the latest episode of the RockSolid Families podcast host Linda Hutchinson and newcomer coach Kimm Hackworth engage in an empowering discussion about what it means to be a woman on a mission.

As Linda and Kimm dive into the topic, they reflect on the previous discussions from the Strong Dads podcast, which centered around men living with purpose. This leads to an exploration of how women, too, can embrace their missions in everyday life. Kimm shares her early misconceptions that being missional meant only participating in international trips, realizing instead that anyone can live missionally within their daily surroundings regardless of their life circumstances.

They emphasize that living on a mission involves aligning one's daily actions with a divine purpose, rather than solely engaging in specific tasks. The conversation touches on the common struggles women face in the church regarding their roles and how societal pressures can stifle their willingness to step into leadership positions.

Throughout their dialogue, Kimm recalls influential women in her life, who have demonstrated resilience and dedication to their calling. Linda shares the profound impact her grandmother had on her, illustrating a life lived with faith and purpose, despite numerous challenges.

Shifting the focus to biblical examples, they highlight Priscilla, a woman in the New Testament who exemplifies partnership in ministry, and Esther, who courageously stepped into her calling to save her people. These narratives serve to inspire women listening to recognize their own opportunities for impact.

As the episode progresses, Linda and Kimm discuss the importance of community, suggesting that the isolation brought on by modern society can hinder women from sharing their stories and living out their missions. They introduce an exciting initiative: the Women on Mission online group launching in 2026. This platform aims to foster connections among women, encouraging them to deepen their relationship with God, each other, and their families.

The hosts conclude with a powerful reminder that living missionally is not about adding more tasks to one's life but about reframing one's purpose and being part of God's larger narrative. They invite listeners to reflect on the impact of women in their own lives, urging them to take actionable steps toward living out their missions.
