Episode 4: Miriam - Women of the Bible Series

Send a textWe are so excited to share our latest conversation about MIRIAM!I only thought I knew her. I knew parts of her story (and you may too) but not her life as a whole or her as a real-life person. I had never taken the time to see her as anything more than a 2-D character in the Old Testament story of the Israelites. Join us as we dive into the pieces of her life that the Bible reveals as a woman, sister, leader in both a very precarious and liberating time in the life of her family, her culture, her people. As we answer the question "Who is she," our 3 "words"(kindof/not really words, more like phrases) for Miriam are:resourcefula leader who used her giftsand she complained. She is one of us.  Who God is to her, he is to YOU wherever YOU are. We hope this episode encourages you in those unseen places where your faith is a bit fragile.Much love,Amy*Blog post Miriam: celebrating even when the future is fuzzyNEW (recently added) - - - - - ->>>> D I S C U S S I O N  Q U E S T I O N S We've had so much fun hearing your stories of connecting with these women in the Bible and each other.
