DeeDee Amaechi
The Safe Basement is a podcast by wanna-be writer, Delight, who takes you through her journey in knowing the truth concerning faith, culture and life in general by having honest and healthy conversations. ‘In a world with so many opinions, what is the truth?’ That was the question that stirred up the need to start something. The heart of the podcast is that you find the real thing(a personal relationship with the Creator), truth and safety.

God’s view on Women
Hey y’all, we are glad you stopped by. In this episode, the conversation is around the premise of God and how He views women. In a world that women have been marginalized, have tried to fight for their rights and have felt like second-class citizens, it is beneficial to understand what the Bible says about women. And of course, in a conversation like this, you’ll hear what those ‘silencing’ texts Paul wrote mean. This episode is not only useful for women but also men because it is good that a man knows how the Lord sees women so he can treat them accordingly. And for women, the hope is that you leave this episode feeling loved and cared for by God. . Resources: . Jesus, Lover of a Woman’s Soul by Dr Erwin and Rebecca Lutzer .
