Today we are jumping into looking at these women in Scripture and what we can learn from them. And today is a two-for-one deal. How's that for a great start? Shiphrah and Puah. Do you know those names? They were the midwives in Egypt when Moses was born. Pharaoh commanded them to murder the baby boys born to the Hebrew women. Shiphrah and Puah: Faith in a Godless Culture The king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives—the first whose name was Shiphrah and the second whose name was ... [Read More]
3 Reasons Men Should Study Women in Scripture
How many women from the Bible can you name? How many men in Scripture can you name? Odds are, the answer to the second question is a much higher number than the answer to the first. And, as I said yesterday, I don't want to get into why that's true ... but I do want to encourage all of us, both men and women, to become more aware of the women in the Bible. Over the past year in particular, I've discovered that often men are unaware of most of the women specifically mentioned in the ... [Read More]
20 Women in Scripture You Need to Know
Ruth, Eve, Esther, Mary, Martha, the other Mary, and that other Mary ... how many women in Scripture can you name? And, even more importantly, how much do you know about the women in the BIble?

Who's your best friend? Does one name immediately come to mind? Perhaps it's a few names, people who have walked with you through many seasons? For me, I think of a few groups of people, most of them don't even know each other. I've got those sweet high school friends, our connection forged through tight-rolled jeans and the big hair of the 80s. The college friends who knew me in my worst season of life and still love me anyway. The friends I've made through ministry and the various ... [Read More]

While we are in the Holy Land, I'll have the opportunity to share with our group a short teaching/message while we are at a church in Magdala. {Yes, that Magdala ... I can't even believe it!} The church there has a place set aside to honor the contributions of women in the ministry of Jesus and the early church. As I've been considering what I want to share with our group and whoever else happens to be nearby to hear, I've spent some time looking specifically at the women named {either by ... [Read More]
3 Things to Remember in the Crazy Seasons of Parenting
If you've read my book, you might remember reading about what I refer to as the Worst. Summer. Ever. Casiday was 13 and it rained all summer long. We didn't get to do much except watch it rain. And get on each other's nerves. It was not my finest moment as a mom. But the rain and the heat and the humidity — and the 13-year-old hormones. Y'all, it wasn't pretty or fun. But we survived. And now, six years later, we can laugh about it as we enjoy our time together. Maybe you're in one of ... [Read More]
