SHE Series 06: Daughter, Your Faith Has Saved You {Luke 8:40-56}
03/11/21 • 36 min
If we want to know what God is like, the best thing we can do is look at Jesus. It stands to reason, then, that clearest expression of God's heart for women is on display in the Gospels where we see story after story of Jesus defying social convention in order to love women well. In this episode, we move into the redemption portion of the biblical storyline by fixing our eyes on an extraordinary encounter between Christ and a nameless woman plagued with long-term suffering and shame. His tenderness toward her moves me to tears nearly every time I read it because it reminds me just how much I'm seen, known, and cherished by God. I pray it does the same for you.

SHE Series 05: Be Quiet, My Sister {2 Samuel 13}
In this episode we continue to set our eyes on the worth of women in the storyline of the Bible. We're still in the sad part of the story - the fall. The topic of today's teaching is an aspect of womanhood that doesn't get much attention in the church, but should. It's the topic of abuse.
The Bible does not turn a blind eye to the abuse of women because God does not turn a blind eye to the abuse of women. In His justice, He avenges the oppression. In His love, He heals and restores the victim. In His Son, He absorbs all the shame.

SHE Series 07: Fellow Heirs of the Grace of Life {1 Peter 3:1-7}
As we continue through the storyline of the Bible in search of what God communicates about the worth of women, we find ourselves in the New Testament epistles, which - let's be honest - are not exactly brimming with positive affirmations of a woman's worth. Or so it seems.
In this episode, I seek to confront false assumptions about women drawn from the New Testament epistles, specifically from the command for women to submit. What I hope you'll find is that rigid, check-list oriented, "men-first" teaching on submission is NOT biblical and that what God actually says to wives and husbands is consistent with what He says everywhere else in Scripture: that women are worth just as much as men and just as essential to the fulfillment of His mission in the world.
I was deeply encouraged by this one, and I pray you will be too!
