Melissa Radke Is Back: Celebrating the Chicken Fried Women Who Made Us

About this sermon

Melissa Radke is the best friend you didn’t know you needed—funny, fierce, and full of heart. She’s back on For the Love with Jen Hatmaker and Amy Weatherly to dish on her latest project, Chicken Fried Women—a soulful, hilarious tribute to the women who made us who we are. From church bathroom girdle fiascos to deep midlife revelations, this episode is packed with belly laughs, heartfelt truths, and the kind of stories that stick with you. In this episode, we talk about: • The unforgettable women who raised and shaped us • Family stories that are now pure legend (Aunt Melba, we see you!) • What it means to own your voice—and your moo-moo—in midlife • Humor as healing, and why being “too much” is actually just enough Favorite quotes: “Don’t waste another second being around someone who makes you feel like you’re too much. Go sit at a different table.” — Melissa Radke “People who can find humor in sorrow carry the gift of healing.” — Jen Hatmaker “I am fully committed, as committed as I am to Christ, to the moo-moo.” — Melissa Radke Subscribe for more conversations about midlife reinvention, humor, faith, and freedom.
