#16: I'm a Jael, Not a Mary | The Wise Table Podcast

from The Wise Table Podcast · host Shealee Parker

In this episode, we're challenging the idea that Christians should only be gentle, agreeable, and accommodating. God didn't create lions by accident. He created people who protect, confront, defend, and stand their ground when necessary.The problem isn't being a lion. The problem is being only a lion—or only a lamb.We're talking about strength, assertiveness, courage, compassion, and the wisdom to know when each is required. Because sometimes following Jesus looks like washing feet, and sometimes it looks like flipping tables.If you've ever felt too bold for church culture and too compassionate for the world's version of strength, this episode is for you.Follow Us for More!
