Ep. 281 – Also Featured In The Cast - Part 3

In this episode of Also Featured in the Cast, I turn our attention to Hannah, the mother of Samuel. In the “movie” of 1 Samuel, Samuel is clearly the star, but Hannah—often overlooked—shapes the story in ways that change history. We’ll explore her passionate prayer, her faithfulness to keep her covenant with God, and her role in raising and dedicating Samuel for the Lord’s service. Along the way, I’ll reflect on how God uses “supporting characters” like Hannah—and like you and me—to bring about His plans. Even when we feel unseen, our influence may be far greater than we imagine. – Dr. Mark Rutland Chapters (00:00:03) - The Leaders Notebook(00:00:25) - 1 Samuel(00:04:27) - Actor of the Week(00:06:41) - Samuel the Book of 2 Samuel(00:08:10) - The reasons behind the barren women of the Bible(00:10:25) - The Story of Hannah and Polygyny(00:15:01) - The role of mothers in the life(00:21:26) - The Priest at Shiloh(00:24:44) - There are those people who can be dramatically and wonderfully used of God(00:28:48) - The Life of Saul and His Reign(00:34:46) - The Book of David(00:38:43) - The Story of Samuel
