Like A Girl: Faith Like Miriam

About this episode

This episode begins a series highlighting the important yet often overlooked stories of women in the Bible, focusing on the faith and courage of Miriam.

As we begin a new series exploring the often-overlooked stories of women in the Bible, it feels important to say this: it shouldn’t have to be a series—but it does. Women have always been central to our faith. Their courage, leadership, and witness are woven throughout Scripture. And yet, too often, their stories have been minimized while louder voices have tried to define their place. If those voices have been loud, then ours must be louder still. I’m grateful to add my voice to this growing chorus—people whose faith has been strengthened, challenged, and shaped by the women of Scripture. May we be faithful like Miriam. May we be willing to show up. May we listen, learn, and carry these stories forward. Passage: Exodus 2:2-8 CEB
