What I Learned From These 13 Bible Women

In this final episode of my Invisible Women of the Bible series, I’m looking back at the thirteen Bible women whose stories have quietly shaped my faith this past year. As I revisit women like Ruth and Naomi, Hagar, Deborah, Jael, Hannah, Abigail, the widow of Zarephath, Martha, Shiprah and Puah, Jochebed and Tabitha, I’ve been surprised by how deeply their journeys have spoken into my own.

I’m sharing what I’ve learned from each woman — how their stories have met me in grief, transition, uncertainty and hope. Somewhere in the middle of all of it, God began to show me four things about how He sees me. Those four truths have changed the way I understand His heart for ordinary Christian women like you and me who are just trying to live out our faith in real life.

If you’re looking for encouragement, deeper spiritual growth, or simply to feel seen and heard by God again, this reflection on the women of the Bible may be exactly what you have been waiting for.
