All God's Women
Episodes
Did you know that March is Women’s History Month? This month we’re also counting down to the All God’s Women one-year anniversary. To celebrate both events, we’re winding down our days in the Old Testament by featuring three different groups of Unsung Heroes among the Old Testament women. We begin this week with the midwives.
The first mention of a midwife is in Genesis 35:16. The Bible doesn’t provide the name of Rachel’s midwife, ...
In today’s episode of All God’s Women we look at Ezekiel’s wife. The Bible only provides one sentence about her directly, but we can learn much more as we look at Ezekiel’s life and God’s advice to him concerning his wife.
Theirs is a love story that withstood life’s trials. Regardless of whether they were together before they were taken captive or if they get together during captivity, their honeymoon years would have been fraught ...
In last week’s episode I said that this week would look at Ezekiel’s wife, but I decided to backtrack a bit and catch up with a group of women covered in the book of Isaiah. Today we look at Careless Women.
Isaiah addresses the issue with careless women in Isaiah chapter 32 verses 9-15. He was speaking to the Hebrew women who lived seven centuries before Christ, and yet, his message is just as relevant to women of today.
He opens his...
In today’s episode of All God’s Women we look at the Wicked Hebrew Women in Jeremiah as well as the Women Who Wept for Tammuz in Ezekiel and we see how even well meaning women can lead others away from the Lord.
We live in a time much like that of Jeremiah. We’ve watered down our religion to the point it’s no longer recognizable. We’ve given into the worldly pressures, thinking we’re heading upward when in reality, we’re slipping f...
In today’s episode of All God’s Women we look at the Daughters of Zion, a group of women who focused their attention on fashion while neglecting their faith. It’s part of a two-week series on Women Gone Astray.
Every day you’re being watched. People are observing what you do, what you say, and what you wear. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to dress nice. That’s not what this passage is talking about. No, it’s when we lose sight o...
In today’s episode of All God’s Women, we look at Job’s wife, a woman like Zeresh, who gave bad advice to her husband, but we have no evidence that she ever turned from her foolish thinking.
I hope this is a story that you have a hard time connecting with, but I’m afraid, at some point and time, we’ve all been like Job’s wife. When we’re hurting, we so easily lash out and attack the very ones we love the most.
But here’s the deal. W...
In today’s episode of All God’s Women we look at Zeresh, our final woman in the Women of Esther series. Zeresh gave really bad advice to her husband and paid the ultimate price because of it.
Zeresh was blessed with an amazing opportunity. To have a husband who actively sought her advice was quite an honor. If only she’d cherished that honor and chosen her words more carefully.
I can imagine that Zeresh spent the rest of her life reg...
In today’s episode of All God’s Women we look at Esther, a perfect example of God at work behind the scenes in ways we may never understand.
Did you have dreams and visions of your future that have been stolen from you? Have you been denied the life you expected to have? How are you handling it?
2020 was unfair. You suffered, and you’re making sure everyone knows. But what if, instead of fighting what you can’t control, you accepte...
In today’s episode of All God’s Woman, we look at Queen Vashti, a woman who openly defied her husband, and as a result was banished from her royal position.
Have you ever taken a stand for what’s right and been punished as a result?
As we kick off a new year, it’s a good time to reflect on your priorities. Where do your priorities lie? Are you focused on prestige and wealth and privilege? Or are you focused on doing what’s right, e...
In today’s episode of All God’s Women we look at Huldah, a prophetess who was sought out by a king for her wisdom and insight.
As I read about all the corruption in the days of Josiah and Huldah, it sounds, unfortunately, all too familiar. Doesn’t the world of their day sound an awful lot like today?
Have we not lost sight of God’s law? Have we not filled our churches with traditions and practices from the world? Do we not have hig...
We're concluding our Women of Christmas series with something special. Today we have a crosscast episode, which is just a fancy word that means multiple podcasts joining together for an episode. In this episode I'm joined by 11 fellow female podcasters, each of us sharing about our favorite Woman of Christmas.
I love how we each read the same scripture about these three women, and we each got something different out of it. Y...

In today’s episode of All God’s Women we continue the Women of Christmas series with Anna, a elderly widow, a prophetess, and an evangelist.
We meet Anna in Luke chapter 2. Her story is told in just three verses, but wow! What a lot of information is included in those three verses. In Luke 2:36 we learn that Anna was a prophetess of the tribe of Asher.
We also learn that she was of a great age. She had lived with a husband seven yea...
In today’s episode of All God’s Women we continue the Women of Christmas series with Mary, a young peasant woman greeted by an angel and told that she would supernaturally bear a child who would save the world. Her response? Let it be according to your word.
All God's Women is a Bible study podcast where we journey through the Bible one woman at a time. If you enjoy learning about women in the Bible, tune in each week to learn a...
In today’s episode of All God’s Women we kick off the Women of Christmas series with Elizabeth, wife of Zechariah, mother of John the Baptist, and cousin of Mary. Elizabeth had every reason to feel like the best years of her life were long gone, but God, in His infinite goodness, saved the best for last.
We can learn so much from Elizabeth’s story as she went through many experiences that we, too, go through.
We can easily feel too...
Hi and welcome to All God’s Women. I’m Sharon Wilharm, your host, and today is the last of the National Podcast Post Month bonus episodes. Yes, I know, it’s only the 28th. However, my photographer daughter and I did some creative brainstorming this week while they were visiting for Thanksgiving, and I’m excited to announce that All God’s Women is getting a facelift. So I’ll be working on that getting ready to have the new look in t...
Hi and welcome to All God’s Women. I’m Sharon Wilharm, your host, and it’s day 27 of National Podcast Post Month.
Today we’re looking at Isaiah’s wife. You would think considering Isaiah was such a prominent figure in the Bible and the book of Isaiah is one of the longest books in the Bible with 66 chapters, that there would plenty of coverage of Mrs. Isaiah. In fact, though, she is mentioned only once.
In Isaiah 8:3 we’re told, “Th...
Hi and welcome to All God’s Women. I’m Sharon Wilharm, your host, and it’s day 26 of National Podcast Post Month. Not only that, but it’s Thanksgiving Day here in the US. So instead of doing a traditional episode, or even a regular bonus episode, I want to do something different.
On this day of Thanksgiving, I want to say thank you to each and every one of you who has taken time out of your busy schedules to spend some time with me...
We meet Jehosheba in 2 Kings chapter 11. Her story intersects with Athaliah and Zibiah. So let’s first get clear on how everyone is related. Jehosheba was the daughter of King Johoram, Athaliah’s husband, but Jehosheba’s mother was a lesser wife. Jehosheba was the half-sister of Ahaziah, Zibiah’s husband. Ahaziah was the son of Athaliah and the father of Joash.
So now, who was Jehosheba? Not only was she a princess, the daughter of...
Hi and welcome to All God’s Women. I’m Sharon Wilharm, your host, and it’s day 24 of National Podcast Post Month.
Today we look at another symbolic group of women, those who are snares and nets to unsuspecting men. We find her mentioned in Ecclesiastes 7:26.
We need to ask ourselves if we’re acting as a snare, a net, or a fetter. We may be doing it unknowingly, even going so far as to think we’re acting in love. We may be doing it ...
