Lessons from 30 amazing Women of the Bible

Lessons from 30 amazing Women of the Bible

This week (October 3rd to be exact) was my birthday and- it wasn't just any birthday- it was my 30th! Also, although I didn't actually make it public until late November, this month will mark a year since I started this blog with a view to:

  • Raise the profile of the contributions of the women of the Bible and how the lessons contained in these can be practically applied in our modern spiritual walks
  • Empower Christian women to fully embrace their unique identities and purpose in Christ, free of the stereotypes and traditions that can "so easily best" us

To celebrate, I am going to share my top 30 women of the Bible along with what they taught me either about Christian womanhood/femininity or life in general. So, in alphabetical order, here goes!

Lessons from Joanna and Susanna on Kingdom Economics

Lessons from Joanna and Susanna on Kingdom Economics

If I was to ask people to name a female disciple of Jesus, I’m sure that most would say Mary Magdalene. However, Mary Magdalene was not the only one. In fact, Luke 8:2-3 mentions two others in the same breath as her- Joanna and Susanna. They, like Mary, both have much to teach us on the issue of economic empowerment within the Kingdom of God. Let’s see what it is! Feel free to listen along to the rest of this devotional, if you prefer. You can also download and share the audio below:
