Podcasts about Jael

Join Kate and Sheila as they journey through Judges, a book of disobedience, oppression, crying out to God, judge (aka leader) appointed, deliverance, and peace cycling over and over. God was clear- take over the land, but instead His people intermarried and started to worship idols. Downward spirals are never pretty, but they can teach a great deal. In chapter 2, the text says they failed to teach the next generation.Ch. 4-Deborah the prophetess helps her insecure commander, Barak (Be Brave-God's in control)Ch. 5-the resourceful Jael bravely uses what she has on hand (a tent peg) to kill the man Barak was afraid of (Serve God with what we have on hand)Ch. 6-Gideon's story shows the patience of God and how He meets people where they areCh. 8 Gideon goes from “the Lord will rule over you” to building an ephod that became a snare to the peopleCh 11- Jepthah's unwise vow that cost his daughter's life (Watch our words closely)Abimelech killed his 70 half-brothers on a stone (the youngest escaped) (he received 70 silver coins-is money ever the answer?)Abeimelech was killed by a millstone a woman dropped out of a tower (Another resourceful woman)Samson – never trust someone (Delilah) who seeks to weaken you (Pick your friends carefully)“In those days there was no king in Israel. People did whatever they felt like doing.” Judges 17:6 and 21:25 (Ask what does God want me to do instead)Talk about a rollercoaster ride! Please join us & discover how this book can guide, real change always starts from the inside! 

When the story you're living in feels stuck, broken, or chaotic—what if you're telling the wrong story? In Judges 4, God interrupts Israel’s cycle of oppression with a powerful narrative shift led by unexpected heroes. We’ll explore how Deborah, Barak, and Jael reframe their reality—and how your story can be reframed too. Join us as we rediscover the God who goes ahead of us, breaks destructive cycles, and opens the way out.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Get behind our through the Bible project. Read more here Project23. Our text today is Judges 5:19–27. “The kings came, they fought; then fought the kings of Canaan, at Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo; they got no spoils of silver. From heaven the stars fought, from their courses they fought against Sisera. The torrent Kishon swept them away, the ancient torrent, the torrent Kishon. March on, my soul, with might! Then loud beat the horses' hoofs with the galloping, galloping of his steeds. ‘Curse Meroz,' says the angel of the LORD, ‘curse its inhabitants thoroughly, because they did not come to the help of the LORD, to the help of the LORD against the mighty. ‘Most blessed of women be Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, of tent-dwelling women most blessed. He asked water and she gave him milk; she brought him curds in a noble's bowl. She sent her hand to the tent peg and her right hand to the workman's mallet; she struck Sisera; she crushed his head; she shattered and pierced his temple. Between her feet he sank, he fell, he lay still; between her feet he sank, he fell; where he sank, there he fell—dead.” — Judges 5:19-27 Deborah's song stretches from the battlefront to the heavenlies. Kings clashed at Taanach, but this wasn't just a human fight. “From heaven the stars fought” — a poetic way of saying that the forces of creation and the unseen armies of God joined the fray. The Kishon River swelled and swept the enemy away, as if the earth itself fought on Israel's side. It's cosmic warfare — the God of heaven moving heaven and earth to secure victory. And then the camera zooms in. Not to a general, not to a seasoned soldier, but to Jael — a tent-dwelling woman with no title, no rank, no sword. All she has are the tools of her everyday life: a tent peg and a mallet. Yet, in God's hands, those common items become the instruments that end the enemy's life and secure the victory. The same God who commands the stars also works through the simple obedience of His people. This is how God works — the cosmic and the common, side by side. He shakes the heavens and then uses the hammer in your hand. He commands rivers and then asks you to pour the cup of milk. He wins the battle, but He invites you into the moment that matters. We often think, If I only had more skill… more influence… more resources… then God could use me. But Jael reminds us — God doesn't need what you don't have. He uses what you do have. Your “tent peg” might be your job, your words, your generosity, your hospitality, or your willingness to speak truth when it's uncomfortable. You may feel like your role is small, but when you put it in God's hands, it becomes part of His cosmic plan. The question isn't whether God is fighting — He is. The question is whether you're ready to act when the moment comes. ASK THIS: What “tent pegs” has God already placed in your hands? Do you believe your ordinary skills can be part of God's cosmic plan? Why or why not? How does knowing God fights the big battle free you to act in small but significant ways? What's one ordinary act of obedience you can take today that could have eternal impact? DO THIS: Identify one ordinary skill, resource, or opportunity you already have. Offer it to God in prayer and be alert for how He might use it in the days ahead. PRAY THIS: Lord, thank You that You fight the battles I cannot see. Take the simple tools in my hands and use them for Your glory in ways I could never imagine. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Available."

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Jason Ritchie from Pearland, TX. Thank you for your partnership with us through Project23. Your commitment is helping deliver God's Word with clarity and conviction. This one's for you. Our text today is Judges 5:6–8. “In the days of Shamgar, son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were abandoned, and travelers kept to the byways. The villagers ceased in Israel; they ceased to be until I arose; I, Deborah, arose as a mother in Israel. When new gods were chosen, then war was in the gates. Was shield or spear to be seen among forty thousand in Israel?”— Judges 5:6-8 Deborah paints a grim “before” picture of Israel. The roads were unsafe. Villages were abandoned. Ordinary life was in hiding. And why? Because “new gods were chosen.” They forgot God's resume and hired other “saviors.” These idols couldn't protect them — in fact, they opened the gates for war. Even worse, there wasn't a shield or spear among forty thousand in Israel. Disarmed. Vulnerable. Exposed. When God's people stop remembering His past faithfulness, they stop trusting His present protection. The result? Fear replaces courage, culture decays, and the enemy moves in. Spiritual drift never starts loud. It begins with a quiet forgetfulness. A skipped prayer. A neglected truth. A replaced affection. Before long, God's resume is dusty and idols are on the payroll. The cost is high. We lose peace. We lose protection. We lose purpose. This is why remembering matters — because the moment we forget, we're already drifting. Leaders must recall God's resume daily, and followers must cling to it as if their lives depend on it — because they do. ASK THIS: Where have you been tempted to trust a “new god” instead of the one true God? How do you recognize the early signs of spiritual drift in your own life? What specific truths about God do you need to recall to stand firm today? Who in your life needs to be reminded of God's resume right now? DO THIS: Identify one “idol” in your life — something you've looked to for safety or satisfaction — and replace it today with an intentional act of worship toward God. PRAY THIS: Lord, don't let me drift. Keep Your faithfulness at the front of my mind so no false god can take Your place. Protect me from the slow fade of forgetting You. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Come Thou Fount (Above All Else)."

The book of Judges reveals a cycle Israel couldn't escape—idolatry, sin, oppression, crying out, and God's deliverance. Judges 4 drops us right into that cycle, where Israel has been crushed for twenty years under the iron might of Sisera's army. But when they cry out, God responds in an unexpected way—raising up Deborah, a prophetess and judge, to lead His people. Alongside her stands Barak, who insists he won't go into battle without God's presence, and Jael, an ordinary woman whose bold act fulfills God's promise. Through them, God proves His victory is not just physical but spiritual. While Sisera trusted in iron chariots and the storm-god Baal, Yahweh turned the battlefield into a floodplain, showing His power over both armies and idols. The sermon reminds us that God doesn't merely rescue us from suffering—He smashes the idols that keep us bound. Just as Israel was freed not only from Sisera but also from the false gods of Canaan, we too are saved by Christ from both our circumstances and the deeper spiritual chains of sin. God still works through unexpected, ordinary people to bring extraordinary freedom, and He offers complete salvation through Jesus, the ultimate Deliverer.

In Judges 4-5, we meet Deborah, Barak, and Jael - three individuals who didn't wish for different circumstances but faithfully served God in their current roles. The result? God worked through their faithfulness to bring victory and 40 years of peace to Israel. Pastor Louis encouraged us to commit to faithfulness in the places God has planted us, not because our roles define us, but because we serve a faithful God who redeemed us through Christ.

The Book of Judges Ch. 4

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Support our mission to teach every verse of the Bible. Read more here: Project23 Our text today is Judges 4:23-24: So on that day God subdued Jabin the king of Canaan before the people of Israel. And the hand of the people of Israel pressed harder and harder against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they destroyed Jabin king of Canaan. — Judges 4:23-24 When God gives the victory, do you hand Him the glory—or do you try to keep a piece for yourself? After Jael's shocking strike, you might think the spotlight belongs to her—or to Deborah for her prophecy—or to Barak for leading the army. But Scripture doesn't allow that. It says plainly: “On that day God subdued Jabin the king of Canaan.” Yes, Barak fought. Yes, Jael struck. Yes, Deborah led. But it was God who delivered. He orchestrated the storm, routed the army, and fulfilled the prophecy. The text ends by making sure we know the truth: the glory belongs to Him, not them. This is the battlefield of the heart: who gets the glory? God may use your obedience, your courage, even your “tent pegs”—but the glory is His alone. And here's the danger: every time God gives you a win, your flesh will want to steal the credit. Pride whispers, “Look what you did.” But humility shouts, “Look what God has done!” If you take the glory, you rob God of what is rightfully His—and you set yourself up for a fall. Pride is a thief; humility is a shield. So fight hard. Step up with courage. But when the dust clears, drop the crown at His feet. Make it your mission to silence pride before it steals even a sliver of the glory that belongs only to God. ASK THIS: Where in my life am I tempted to take credit for what God has done? How do I usually respond when God gives me a victory—praise or pride? Who could I encourage by giving a testimony that points all glory back to Him? What practical step can I take to guard myself from stealing God's glory? DO THIS: Today, when you share a win or blessing in conversation, make sure you point directly to God as the One who made it possible. Don't keep a shred of the glory for yourself. PRAY THIS: Father, keep me from stealing Your glory. When You give victory, help me humbly give You all the credit, knowing it belongs to You alone. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Yours (Glory and Praise)."

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Support our mission to teach every verse of the Bible. Read more here: Project23 Our text today is Judges 4:21-22: But Jael the wife of Heber took a tent peg, and took a hammer in her hand. Then she went softly to him and drove the peg into his temple until it went down into the ground while he was lying fast asleep from weariness. So he died. And behold, as Barak was pursuing Sisera, Jael went out to meet him and said to him, “Come, and I will show you the man whom you are seeking.” So he went in to her tent, and there lay Sisera dead, with the tent peg in his temple. — Judges 4:21-22 What could God do with your ordinary tools if you had the courage to act? This is it—the moment Deborah had prophesied. Sisera, exhausted and convinced he was safe, falls asleep in Jael's tent. And Jael, an ordinary woman with no training in battle, picks up a tent peg and a hammer—the tools of her daily life—and strikes down the mighty commander of Canaan's army. When Barak finally arrives, Jael doesn't just point him to Sisera—she shows him the lifeless body. The prophecy is fulfilled. The honor goes not to Barak, but to an unlikely woman whose courage and obedience changed the course of history. Jael's story is a reminder: God uses unlikely people with ordinary tools to accomplish extraordinary victories. She didn't have a sword. She wasn't wearing armor. She used what she had, where she was, with bold faith. You may feel like you don't have much to offer—just a “tent peg” and a “hammer” in your daily life. But in God's hands, that's enough. Don't underestimate the impact of your simple obedience. The world doesn't need you to be the most powerful man in the room. It needs you to be the most willing. When others hesitated, Jael acted. And because she did, God's Word was fulfilled. ASK THIS: What ordinary “tent peg” has God put in my hand to use for His glory? Do I believe God can use me—even if I feel unqualified or overlooked? How might hesitation keep me from stepping into the role God is calling me to? What step of bold faith can I take today with the tools I already have? DO THIS: Take one “ordinary tool” in your life today—your time, a skill, a relationship—and use it intentionally for God's purposes. PRAY THIS: Lord, thank You for using unlikely people like Jael. Give me courage to act with what You've placed in my hands, trusting You for the outcome. Amen. PLAY THIS: "God of the Impossible."

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Support our mission to teach every verse of the Bible. Read more here: Project23 Our text today is Judges 4:17-20: But Sisera fled away on foot to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite. And Jael came out to meet Sisera and said to him, “Turn aside, my lord; turn aside to me; do not be afraid.” So he turned aside to her into the tent, and she covered him with a rug. And he said to her, “Please give me a little water to drink, for I am thirsty.” So she opened a skin of milk and gave him a drink and covered him. And he said to her, “Stand at the opening of the tent, and if any man comes and asks you, ‘Is anyone here?' say, ‘No.'” — Judges 4:17-20 What if the person God chooses to win the battle is the one nobody expected? Sisera, the mighty commander who once terrorized Israel, is now running on foot like a fugitive. Desperate for safety, he stumbles into the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite. On the surface, Jael looked like the last person God would use. She wasn't a warrior. She wasn't even an Israelite. In fact, her family had a peace treaty with Sisera's king. If anything, Sisera should have felt safe there. But Jael was also a Kenite, a distant relative of Moses. But God had already spoken through Deborah: the honor of Sisera's downfall would go to a woman. And here she was—an unlikely woman, in an ordinary tent, about to play an extraordinary role in God's plan. Sisera thought he found refuge. Instead, he walked straight into the hands of the one God chose to fulfill His prophecy. Jael's story is living proof that God uses unlikely people. She didn't have a sword, an army, or a reputation as a leader. She had a tent and the courage to act. And God used her to change the course of Israel's history. Don't ever think God can't use you because you're not the most skilled, the loudest, or the obvious choice. He delights in flipping expectations and proving His power through ordinary lives. The question isn't are you qualified? but are you willing? Deborah's prophecy reminds us: when God speaks, His word will come to pass. And Jael's story reminds us: He often chooses the most unlikely person in the room to bring it about. ASK THIS: Where in my life do I doubt God could use me because I feel too ordinary? Who around me might God want to use—even if they seem unlikely? What “tent peg” (ordinary tool) has God placed in my hand to serve Him? Am I willing to say yes when God calls, even if I feel unprepared? DO THIS: Identify one “ordinary tool” in your life—time, skill, relationship—and pray for God to use it in an extraordinary way this week. PRAY THIS: Lord, thank You for choosing unlikely people like Jael. Use me, with whatever I have, to be part of Your plan today. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Available."

VIERNES 12 DE SEPTIEMBRE DE 2025 TU DOSIS DIARIA DE ESPERANZA “Entonces Débora dijo a Barac: Levántate, porque este es el día en que Jehová ha entregado a Sísara en tus manos. ¿No ha salido Jehová delante de ti? Y Barac descendió del monte de Tabor, y diez mil hombres en pos de él.” (Jueces 4:14) Barac era un guerrero valiente; pero no dudaba en exponer sin temor que su confianza estaba en ser acompañado por Débora, sabiendo que ella hablaba de parte de Dios. Ella contagiaba seguridad y fe en Dios. Luchó hasta el final aun sabiendo que el crédito sería para una mujer (4:9). Muchas batallas y liderazgos se pierden por celos, orgullo, ansias de poder, envidia, etc. Como Barac los héroes de la fe hacen su parte con excelencia, provocando que el que se destaque sea Dios. Fue Dios el que entregó al malvado Sísara en manos de una mujer (Jael) tal y como lo profetizó Débora; y Barac lo disfrutó. (Gina Sánchez) -- Te damos la bienvenida a nuestras reflexiones diarias.

Judges 4 tells the powerful story of how God delivered Israel from the oppressive rule of King Jabin of Canaan through unexpected leaders. After the death of Ehud, the Israelites once again turned away from God, and the Lord allowed them to be oppressed for 20 years by Jabin, whose commander Sisera had 900 iron chariots. God raised up Deborah, a prophetess and judge over Israel, to guide the people. She summoned Barak and delivered God's command: gather 10,000 men to fight Sisera's army at Mount Tabor, and the Lord would give them victory. Barak agreed, but only if Deborah went with him — and she agreed, prophesying that the honor of killing Sisera would go to a woman. The Lord threw Sisera's forces into confusion, and Barak's army defeated them completely. Sisera fled on foot to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite. She welcomed him, gave him milk, and let him rest — then, while he slept, she drove a tent peg through his head, killing him. Through Deborah's leadership, Barak's obedience, and Jael's courage, God gave Israel victory over Jabin's army, beginning the nation's liberation from oppression. Themes: •God can use anyone — man or woman — to fulfill His purposes. •Obedience brings victory, even against overwhelming odds. •Deliverance often comes in unexpected ways. #Judges4 #DeborahAndBarak #BibleStudy #WomenOfTheBible #Jael #FaithAndCourage #BibleStories #ScriptureReading #GodsVictory #FaithInAction #OldTestament #BibleTruth #SendMeRadio #ChristianFaith #BiblicalInspirationBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

The Lord, through Deborah, Barak... and Jael... are able to defeat the King of Canaan. Their song of victory. The oppression of Midian is next...

(Antevíspera del Aniversario de la Caída de Tenochtitlan) «Para quienes consideren que los hechos de armas son y han sido tarea exclusiva de hombres... el caso de la andaluza (o quizás cántabra) María [de] Estrada reviste especial interés.» Así comienza Manuel Lucena Giraldo, reconocido historiador español especialista en la Historia de América, un artículo publicado en el Diario ABC sobre aquella mujer aguerrida.1 El conquistador Francisco de Estrada, hermano de María, había acompañado a Cristóbal Colón como grumete, de modo que es probable que en 1509, cuando Francisco regresó al Nuevo Mundo para instalarse de forma permanente, María haya viajado con él.2 Como por entonces ella tenía ya entre treinta y cuarenta años, sus compañeros le habrían de poner el sobrenombre de «La vieja». Después de llegar a Cuba y de casarse con Pedro Sánchez Farfán, María participó en combates en la actual Matanzas y, según el doctor Lucena Giraldo, «hasta es posible que su hermosura la salvara de morir, pues un cacique la tomó para sí... hasta que los españoles se recuperaron de la derrota y volvió con su marido a Trinidad, al sur de la isla.» De Cuba a Veracruz, y de ahí a la sangrienta batalla de Otumba y al asalto final de Tenochtitlan, hay varios testigos oculares que constatan el papel que jugó María de Estrada en la conquista de México, mostrando desde el principio una capacidad guerrera que incluía hasta la invocación del apóstol Santiago en los asaltos. Por ejemplo, el cronista español-tlaxcalteca Diego Muñoz Camargo describe a María «con una espada y una rodela en las manos, peleando valerosamente con tanta furia y ánimo que excedía al esfuerzo de cualquier varón, por esforzado y animoso que fuera, que a los propios nuestros ponía espanto». Así mismo, el catedrático castellano Francisco Cervantes de Salazar recuerda que, después de la mortífera «Noche Triste» en la que murieron cientos de españoles e indígenas aliados, cuando el conquistador español Hernán Cortés ordenó que las mujeres que formaban parte de sus tropas se quedaran a descansar en la ciudad de Tlaxcala, María le reclamó: «No es bien, señor capitán, que mujeres dejen a sus maridos yendo a la guerra. Donde ellos murieren, moriremos nosotras, y es razón que los indios entiendan que somos tan valientes los españoles que hasta las mujeres saben pelear.»3 En lugar de sorprendernos, lo justo es que reconozcamos que, con ese arrojo, María de Estrada estaba siguiendo cabalmente el ejemplo de dos mujeres protagonistas del libro de los Jueces en la Biblia: la jueza Débora, que en calidad de comandante militar ordenó a su comandante Barac que atacara las tropas del general cananeo Sísara y lo acompañó porque él insistió que no iría sin ella; y Jael, la valerosa mujer que engañó a Sísara luego de vencido todo su ejército, y lo mató atravesándole la sien con una estaca, llevándose así la gloria de la victoria tal y como Débora había predicho que sucedería.4 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Manuel Lucena Giraldo, «María Estrada conquista México», Diario ABC, 4 agosto 2009 En línea 19 febrero 2025. 2 Wikipedia, s.v. «María de Estrada» En línea 19 febrero 2025. 3 Lucena Giraldo; Francisco Cervantes de Salazar, Cronica de la Nueva España, Libro quinto, Cap.

One thing (almost) everyone loves in a great story is the plot twist. You never see it coming, but it changes the entire feel and flow of the story. Everything from short stories to the most epic cinematic tales have used this storytelling device to draw in the audience. The stories from the Bible are no different. God has an amazing way of doing the most unexpected things and using the least likely people to bring redemption, rescue and healing. This week we'll learn how God used not one, but two people in unprecedented ways to rescue His people. We'll also see that God loves a great plot twist and might just have one in store for each of us.

We delve into the era of the judges, focusing on the extraordinary story of Deborah and Jael. As Israel faces severe oppression under Jabin, king of Canaan, and his commander Sisera, God raises up Deborah, a prophetess and judge, who calls Barak to lead an army against their enemies. Despite Barak's initial fear, he follows Deborah's guidance to victory. However, the ultimate glory goes to Jael, a non-Israelite woman, who kills Sisera, fulfilling a prophecy of Deborah.Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

Sermon by Bryce Kittinger on Sunday, July 13th at Chenal Valley Church.

Sam Williams spoke about fully trusting God, using the story of Shamgar from Judges 3:31. He reminded us that with God's strength, even ordinary people can do amazing things. Sam encouraged us to start each day with faith and rely on God to face our biggest battles. Kimberly Lambert shared the story of Jael from Judges 4, a regular woman who played a powerful role in God's plan. She reminded us that when we walk by faith and make ourselves available, God can use us in mighty ways. Kimberly encouraged everyone to trust God, listen for His voice, and be ready to do whatever He calls us to do.

SummaryThis presentation explores the story of Jael, the displaced wife, and her role in the deliverance of Israel from the oppression of the Canaanites. It highlights the faithfulness and leadership of Deborah and Barak, as well as the consequences of Heber the Kenite's decision to separate himself from his faithful family.Highlights

In this episode I discuss Judges 4, Psalms 79 and current events surrounding Israel, Iran and the United States concerning the End Times.

In Judges, Israel's idolatry led to oppression by King Jabin and Sisera. God raised Deborah, a prophetess and judge, who directed Barak to defeat Sisera's army. A miraculous rainstorm disabled Sisera's chariots, ensuring Israel's victory. Jael killed the fleeing Sisera with a tent peg. Deborah's song teaches that faithful leadership glorifies God, inaction is cursed, and obedience achieves God's purposes. Ultimately, God will right all wrongs, pointing to Jesus as the ultimate Savior who brings justice and forgiveness.

Though we rebel, God remains faithful—redeeming us by crushing the enemy. Why do we rebel against God? 1. Rebellion is in our hearts (1–3) 2. Redemption is in God's heart (4–24) a. Deborah [the unique leader] b. Barak [the faithful warrior] c. Jael [the courageous agent of deliverance] Applications from these servants. a. God works through weakness. b. God's Word is sufficient. c. God delights in faithful women. Takeaways. a. God is victorious—He has crushed the head of the enemy. b. God is trustworthy—His word never fails. c. God is worthy—He deserves our full devotion. d. God is the deliverer—not our strength, but His. e. God is the judge–the unrepentant will perish. f. God is sovereign–working behind the veil. g. God is glorious—He alone deserves the praise.

Judges 4 | Deborah and Jael's StoryJared Doe, Lead PastorDesert City ChurchPhoenix, AZ

Genesis 3:15 establishes a cosmic war between good and evil that shapes the entire Bible. This divine promise—that the seed of the woman would crush the serpent's head—creates a thread of conflict running from Genesis to Revelation. Explore how this promise unfolds in three powerful biblical narratives: Joshua's defeat of the five Amorite kings, Jael's victory over Sisera, and Esther's triumph over Haman. Each story reveals a consistent pattern: God's people are oppressed, then delivered; the enemy is defeated; and God is glorified. This pattern points to Jesus Christ, who as the perfect seed of the woman, crushes Satan's head at the cross. Discover how this ancient promise impacts your daily spiritual battles and gives you confidence in God's sovereign plan. Learn to be ruthless with sin, trust God's orchestration of every detail in your life, live in the victory Christ has already won, and recognize God's presence even when He seems distant. If you're struggling with defeat, discouragement, or doubt, this message will help you see your circumstances through the lens of God's unfolding redemptive plan.

When fear rises, will you respond with hesitation or with faith? In week two of the Judges: Spiritual Siestas series, Pastor Fred unpacks the story of Deborah from Judges 4–5, where Israel's spiritual drift deepens. Through Deborah, Barak, and Jael, we see the contrast between those who shrink back and those who step up with courage. This message challenges us to examine our own readiness to respond to God's call, especially in times of pressure and uncertainty.

In these chapters we meet two heroines through whom God delivered His people- Deborah and Jael. Deborah means bee and she brought sweetness for Israel and a destructive sting for Sisera and his host. She inspired Barak, whose name means lightning, to attack from the heights of Mount Tabor – a position from which escape was impossible with 10,000 men who trusted in God to deliver them. Barak was hesitant in allowing himself to rise to the heights of faith unless strongly encouraged by a mother in Israel, a prophetess of immense faith. Many a brother reluctantly takes on a task only because a wonderful woman stands up to support him. Barak placed his life and the 10,000 courageous men of Naphtali to place themselves at Yahweh's disposal. Let us too, despite our shortcomings, make ourselves available to do our Sovereign's will. When we do we will like Barak find strength in our time of need and the evidence of the Almighty energetically working in concert with His children. Despite our weaknesses the LORD uses His instruments to do His work. Sisera fled, only for the mighty general to fall victim to a courageous and faithful woman. Sisera fell victim to an insignificant tent peg. The praise and thanksgiving to God is celebrated in Deborah's song. Deborah describes the desperate and vulnerable state in which Israel found themselves. But the situation was changed by women and men who overcame by their faith and helped the Almighty to deliver His people. The prophetess also calls upon the LORD to judge those who apathetically fled the fight. Let us never underestimate the power of faithful women to inspire courageous activity in the ecclesia of the Living God.

Godly women in Biblical history who motivate us to fight our spiritual enemies. Women who demonstratedphenomenal courage, while their male counterparts wavered in unbelief.

We explore the story of Deborah and Jael in Judges 4 as a dragon-slaying story, and talk about the invitation for all of us to participate in the story of […]

In this episode, we dive into the story of Deborah, the fearless prophetess and only female judge of Israel, found in Judges 4–5. After the death of Ehud, Israel falls back into idolatry and ends up under the iron grip of Canaanite King Jabin and his war chief, Sisera. But God's plan unfolds through Deborah, a reluctant general named Barak, and an unexpected heroine, Jael, who drives a tent peg straight into history. We'll explore the political intrigue, military might, and divine intervention that led to one of the Bible's most riveting victories.

In this Bible Story, Jabin and his general Sisera oppress Israel for over 20 years. The Lord sent Deborah, a mighty and wise woman. He also sent Barak, the commander of Israel's armies. Sisera fled, and was in the tent of a woman named Jael, and killed in his sleep with a tent peg through his skull. This story is inspired by Judges 4-5. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is Judges 4:22 from the King James Version.Episode 61: Once again Israel is looking to idols and darkness instead of the Lord. And so once again they are allowed to be set under the oppression of a foreign ruler, Jabin king of Canaan and Sisera's commander. God, however, had a message for the commander of Israel's army, Barak. He told him through the prophetess and judge, Deborah, to go out and claim victory. Though he was willing, Barak, like many of us, showed cowardice at the size of his enemy's army, and though God gave them the victory, He allowed a woman named Jael to claim the glory instead.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

Save 25% off an annual subscription to Dwell here. During today's podcast on Back Porch Theology we're exploring one of the greatest leaders in the history of God's people who just so happens to be a chick named Deb! She was both a judge and a prophetess. Which means she was kind of like a president and pastor rolled into one - the entire prone-to-wander nation of Israel turned to her for leadership, wisdom, and spiritual guidance. And another unlikely heroine makes her debut during Deborah's timeline, too. Her name was Jael and let me tell you, that woman was LEGIT - she could have held her own against a burly, tatted MMA fighter twice her size! Even though these women's stories take place long before David's in redemptive history, they illustrate what God said to Samuel about Davey when he was anointed to be the future king of Israel before he even started shaving, “People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” In other words, God delights in using misfits in miraculous ways. Don't forget, the book of Judges was a bleak chapter in the history of God's people – there was no king on the throne, the Word of God was not being taught in the land, and most people were doing whatever crooked little hearts desired. It looked as if their toes were hanging over the edge of obscurity. And based on their rebellion and idolatry, they deserved to be fried into greased spots of oblivion by some divine lightning bolt. Instead, our Heavenly Father inserts a couple of unlikely heroes into their drama, which results in an epic military victory as well as a national revival. The brightest mornings often follow the darkest nights when we give God the sole authorship of our story. It a great day to hang out on the porch, so please grab your favorite beverage, your Bible, and a snack and come prop your feet up with us. We love getting to spend this time with you.
