Podcasts about women of the bible

A journey through the remarkable stories of women of the Bible. Most, if not all, women of the Bible lived extraordinary lives, overcame immense challenges, and set examples that resonate with us today. Whether you're a leader, a mother, or someone simply making her way through life's hurdles, these women have much to teach us. Discovering Strength in Women of the Bible Many of us feel misunderstood and overwhelmed at times, much like the women of the Bible did. Historical accounts show us that they faced challenges similar to our own. For instance, women from the Bible, such as Ruth and Esther, exemplify strength and leadership. They navigated complex societal roles and responsibilities, much like we do today. Their resilience and faith offer lessons in hope and determination as we pursue our own life goals. The Journey of Mary DeMuth in Exploring Women of the Bible Author Mary DeMuth sheds light on the often-overlooked women of the Bible. Through her spiritual journey and writing, Mary offers insights into the lives of these women and how their stories relate to our modern experiences. Her exploration began with noticing these figures in the scriptures, sparking her series of books that reimagines their stories. These narratives not only recount history but also relate it to our current societal dynamics. The Proverbs 31 Woman and Modern Womanhood A particularly inspiring figure is the Proverbs 31 woman. Her traits—virtuous, industrious, and compassionate—reflect the qualities we aspire to embody today. Mary DeMuth reminds us that these traits were exhibited throughout her lifetime, not in the span of a single day. It's important to remember that life's journey takes time and unfolds over years, offering us a model of grace and patience. Learning from Women of the Bible in Leadership Mary DeMuth highlights women like the biblical widow, who demonstrated profound influence through simple acts of faith. Though not widely recognized, their subtle contributions emphasize the importance of humility and perseverance. For women in leadership, these stories serve as reminders that actual influence often comes quietly, without fanfare, yet with a significant impact.

In this episode, Jenna discusses the significance of Proverbs 31, focusing on the ideal wife and her contributions to the household. She contrasts this with the harsher views presented in Sirach 25, emphasizing the value and impact a wife has on her family. Jenna reflects on her own experiences and the importance of uplifting her household, while also acknowledging the challenges of balancing responsibilities. This episode encourages listeners to strive for the ideal wife as depicted in Proverbs 31, recognizing the worth of their contributions, no matter how small.

There's so much to learn from the women of the Old Testament. One such character in 2 Chronicles is Huldah. Today's episode is a quick look into the heart of a woman who was a support to the eight year-old King Josiah. Huldah was a trusted porphetess during Josiah's spiritual renewal. She fearlessly conveyed God's messages, helping bring reform and revival to the land. May we all be bold be like Huldah. www.sueduffield.com

Mary of Nazareth – Mother of Jesuswe explore the life of Mary of Nazareth, the mother of Jesus. Chosen for a role unlike any other, Mary's story reveals her faith, humility, and unwavering trust in God's plan. As a young Jewish girl, she knew the Scriptures and the promises of the Messiah. When the angel Gabriel brought the news that she would give birth to God's Son, Mary responded not with disbelief, but with a heart surrendered to God.We discuss the lessons her life offers us today: faith in God's Word even when it seems impossible, humility in serving His purposes, trust in His timing, and the importance of a deep, personal relationship with Him. Mary's willingness to say, “I am the Lord's servant,” continues to inspire us to live with courage and devotion to God.Mary of Nazareth stands as one of the most remarkable women in Scripture. Chosen to be the mother of the Messiah, her life reflects deep faith, humility, and complete trust in God's plan.As a young Jewish girl, Mary would have grown up immersed in the Torah and the promises of God's covenant with His people. When the angel Gabriel appeared to her with the astonishing news that she would conceive and give birth to the Son of God, Mary responded not with disbelief, but with a heart open to God's will. Her only question—“How will this be?”—was not a rejection of the prophecy but a sincere seeking of understanding.Mary's response, “I am the Lord's servant, may it be to me according to your word,” demonstrates her humility and willingness to submit to God's plan, even though it would mean personal sacrifice, misunderstanding, and risk.Lessons We Can Learn from Mary:Faith in God's Word – Mary trusted that what God had promised, He would fulfill, even when it seemed impossible.Humility in Service – She did not seek honor for herself but accepted her role as God's servant.Trust in God's Plan – Mary surrendered her future, her reputation, and her life into God's hands.Relationship with God – Her Magnificat (Luke 1:46–55) reveals a heart full of praise, Scripture, and deep devotion.Mary teaches us that living a life of faith requires openness to God's will, courage to face the unknown, and trust that His promises are true.Mary of Nazareth podcastMary mother of Jesus Bible studyWomen of the Bible seriesLessons from Mary in the BibleChristian podcast for womenFaith and humility in the BibleTrusting God's plan podcastBible characters podcastThe Annunciation explainedMary's Magnificat teachingBiblical role models for womenChristian devotional podcastMary of Nazareth faith storyGospel of Luke Mary teachingBible study podcast on MaryMary of NazarethMother of JesusWomen of the BibleMary in the BibleFaith and humilityTrust in GodThe AnnunciationMary's obedienceChristian women role modelsBible study podcastBiblical faith lessonsMary's MagnificatJewish girl in NazarethGospel of Luke MaryLessons from Mary

This week we talk about Miriam, Moses and Aaron's sister who helped lead the Israelite nation from exile in Egypt and through the desert. Miriam was a powerhouse woman who was courageous in Egypt, a leader for the people, and a steady force along with Moses and Aaron.Miriam is also known for her story in Numbers 12 when she and Aaron (who were grumbling about Moses and complaining about his position as leader of the trio) got mightily told off by God and she consequently was given leprosy for seven days. In this episode I reflect on why Miriam was the one to receive the physical punishment and how we find ourselves in the same sin as Miriam in our lives. Though we may know a lot about those we spend time with, we will never know them as God does. We can trust His will for them (and us), and we should never cease praying for one another as we continue on the journey. Please pray for me! I will pray for you too!

Continuing on to learn from women in the Bible, we look at Hannah, who appears in the beginning of 1 Samuel. Hannah is a beautiful example to us of faithful femininity. In her anguish of not having children, she bears her soul before the Lord in the temple and beseeches Him to grant her a child. In an exchange she offers to give her child right back to Him. When God does grant her the child she desires, she follows through with her promise and gives up the one thing she always wanted. I am grateful to Hannah for her example of detachment and reflecting on her helps me to call out what idols are in my life. I encourage you to take Hannah's story to prayer and consider what would be the most difficult thing for you to give up, should God ask. This might be an idol in your life that you need to offer to God and ask Him to help you overcome it. **CORRECTION** A psalm to pray to claim God is king is psalm 93, not psalm 91 like I mistakenly say in this episode!

The most relatable woman with the least relatable story: Queen Esther! Esther was given a role she never would have predicted and followed God's voice by simply following the guidance of her cousin, Modecai. She went through times of doubt and fear, yet eventually chose to put her life on the line for her people. Sometimes God speaks to us in small ways that we may overlook. Esther reminds us that God can speak through trusted family and friends and that we only have the job of being faithful. When we are overwhelmed with our responsibilities as mothers, wives, etc. we can look to Esther to know that God can make our small, flawed efforts extraordinary. He only needs our "yes!"

Our Top 10 Question this week is a good one: Who are the women of the bible and why are they so important for us to know? We won’t rehash the recent sermon about gender roles and differences; yet, the truth is that often religion has failed to recognize the importance of women in the Biblical story, and the beauty of their inclusion in God’s mission and purposes. In some ways, the inclusion of women in the story would have been scandalous and a reason for rejection by some in ancient cultures. Yet, God in His infinite glory and wisdom has chosen to include so many amazing women in His grand redemption story, and many of these women are pivotal as leaders, movers, teachers, and shapers of culture. Their stories remind us that everyone is created in God’s image, has purpose, and has a wonderful role to play in the story of God in the world. Furthermore, their stories are unique—a great reminder that God’s call and purpose reaches each of us where we are. He chooses to include us and use our unique humanity and gifts in amazing and miraculous ways. And finally, these stories remind us that the women in our churches are so valuable and wonderful as God continues to tell His story through unique, yet broken, lives to display His glory.

Today we think about Anna, the prophetess who got to witness the presentation of Jesus at the temple. This holy woman does not have much about her in the Bible, but we can tell that she was a prayerful woman who, though she had experienced hardship, never gave up on seeking God. She was granted the gift of meeting Jesus and proclaiming His identity to those around her. May we all have enough openness in our hearts to welcome whatever God puts in our way and to have the relationship with Him that we may recognize Him when we see Him. Anna models a life of prayer that molded her relationship with God. If you have had trouble hearing God's voice in the past, check out The Lila Rose Show episode 218 where Jonna Schuster lays out a methodical way of prayer and hearing God's voice in various ways.

this episode, we explore the powerful story of Mary Magdalene, one of the most prominent women in the Bible. Drawing from the gospel accounts, we unpack how Jesus delivered her from the grip of demonic oppression—liberating her not just spiritually, but also emotionally, mentally, and physically. In response to this radical transformation, Mary chose a life of unwavering devotion, offering her time, talents, service, and resources to follow and support Jesus.We also examine the deep, often-overlooked interdependence between the disciples and the women who traveled with them—highlighting how these women played vital roles in sustaining and advancing Jesus' earthly ministry. Mary's faithfulness is profoundly honored when Jesus appears to her first after His resurrection, entrusting her with the message of His victory—a remarkable moment of divine affirmation and grace.Mary Magdalene's story becomes a mirror of our own: rescued, redeemed, and called to live a life wholly devoted to Christ. Her journey reminds us that our love for Him flows from His great love for us—the One who saves, restores, and rewards those who follow Him diligently with devotion. Christ see us in our suffering, He longs to rescue us to a life of relationship with Him now and in eternity.

I'm starting a new solo series about women from the Bible! Learning from them--their wisdom and their mistakes. Today we talk about one of my very favorites, Martha. She gets a bad rap sometimes, because she comes to Jesus complaining about her sister, Mary, but I believe that Jesus' love for Martha comes through in the story as He invites her to not worry so much about solving problems and to simply come and be with Him. In this episode I share ways that I relate with Martha and how Jesus is currently inviting me to choose "the better part" by simply choosing Him. Let us not get so focused on the specific problems in our lives that we miss the ultimate solution--God Himself. Join me in future weeks for reflections on other amazing women of the Bible.

In this episode, I speak with Wife, Mom, Literary Agent, Podcaser at the PrayEveryDay Show, Scripture Artist, Speaker, and Author on her new book Most Overlooked Women of the Bible. Listen as Mary shares on how your longing to be noticed does not define who you are in Christ. Learn how women in scripture can teach you how to remedy your own self doubt and feelings of being devalued. Mary urges women to consider that being behind the scenes can be a position of great significance.  Find Mary :    the website Listen to FBH on Humble Beginnings Ep. 201 Scripture: 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.   Titus 2:3-5 Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.   Proverbs 22:4 Humility is the fear of the Lord; its wages are riches and honor and life.   Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosperyou and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.   Ruth 3:11 And now, my daughter, don't be afraid. I will do for you all you ask. All the people of my town know that you are a woman of noble character.   Additional Scripture: 1 Corinthians 9:1-27, Colossians 3:12, Philippians 4:19, 2 Timothy 1:7,  REGISTER @ CFLEX Academy Arts Enrichment   Listen to our sister podcast:  Abundantly Rooted   Other Resourses: Join the Abundantly Rooted Life Community email to receive encouragement and updates   Grab your Artza Subscription Box and bring home a bit of Israel.  use promo code: ARTZAKRISTINARISINGER for 25% off   Check out our Linktree   Get the Books:  Life After Losing A Loved One: How to Turn Grief Into Hope Strength and Purpose Adventures of LiLy and Izzy Bee: The Imagination Journey 

The Complicated Lives of Enslaved Women of the Bible An Interview with Dr. Christy Cobb Bible readers tend to skip over the stories of enslaved people because they seem to be treated as props for the ‘real' meaning or main message of the biblical account. But a closer look at the lives of these marginalized enslaved people in the stories—such as sex workers who were might have been sold to brothels against their will—enriches our understanding of the Bible. Recognizing the invisible attitudes and forces help us rethink the stories' meanings. Dr. Christy Cobb is an Assistant Professor of Christianity in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Denver, and she is also an Affiliated Faculty in the Gender/Women's Studies Department. She is a biblical scholar with a focus on the New Testament and early Christian texts, and her scholarship and teaching focuses on issues of slavery, gender, and sexuality in antiquity, and she writes on texts such as Acts, the Gospels, the Apocryphal Acts, and other ancient narratives. ​ Full transcript available here: https://earlychristiantexts.com/enslaved-bible-women/
