    Judges Chapter 4 tells the story of two women who tear down a tyrant - one, Deborah, a prophet and judge and military leader; the other, Yael, armed only with the tools of her husband's trade. In this special episode, lizzie talks with the woman who taught her to tear down patriarchy - her mom, the Rev. Hannah Pinckney McManus, who has preached through the lectionary SIX times. Vice President-elect Kamala Harris has, through a coalition and millions of votes, broken a glass ceiling - so these women reflect on what it took for them to break their own glass ceilings and what in the Bible sets precedent and equips us to resist oppression. lizzie mentioned the Rev.
