About this listen

In this episode, we continue our *Women of the Bible* series by exploring the powerful stories of two often-overlooked women whose lives reflect God’s compassion, purpose, and sovereignty. We begin with the Gospel accounts of **Peter’s mother-in-law**, a woman who was bedridden with fever until Jesus healed her. Scripture tells us that the moment she was restored, she got up and began to serve Him. Her response is a beautiful reminder of our own salvation journey—how Christ lifts us, restores us, and calls us into a life of joyful service. Her story invites us to reflect on what it means to serve God out of gratitude, healing, and renewed purpose.We then turn to the remarkable courage of **Pharaoh’s daughter**, the woman who found baby Moses floating in the Nile. In an act of compassion that defied her father’s brutal decree, she rescued the child who would later lead God’s people out of Egypt. Her story teaches us that God can use anyone—believer or not—as part of His sovereign plan. It also reminds us that choosing mercy over fear has generational impact.From there, we delve into the biblical theme of *adoption*. We reflect on our own adoption into God’s family through Christ and explore how we can extend that same love in practical ways today—whether through adoption, fostering, sponsoring a child, or simply showing God’s love to the children and vulnerable individuals in our communities. This episode invites listeners to consider how we can be instruments of protection, compassion, and hope in the lives of others.Join us as we uncover the wisdom woven through these women’s stories and discover how their courage, faith, and compassion can shape our walk with God today.
