Start with these stories

Each woman’s story reveals a different part of faith. Some faced hardship. Some showed courage. Some made difficult choices that shaped history. Begin with one, and let her story guide your reflection.

Deborah - Leadership

Deborah was chosen by God to lead in a time when women were rarely placed in positions of authority. She served as a prophetess and a judge, guiding her people with wisdom and clarity. When the time came for battle, she did not step back. She stood beside Barak and moved forward in faith, trusting God’s direction even in uncertainty.

Her story shows what it looks like to lead with courage when the path is not easy. She did not wait for perfect conditions. She acted when God called.

Mary Magdalene - Devotion

Mary Magdalene’s life was transformed when Jesus freed her from deep suffering. From that moment, she followed Him with unwavering devotion. While others turned away in fear, she stayed. She was present at the crucifixion, stood in grief at the tomb, and became the first to witness the risen Christ.

Her story speaks to anyone who has known pain, change, or restoration. She reminds us that faith is not just about beginning the journey, but staying through every moment of it.

Esther - Courage

Esther found herself in a position she did not choose, yet one that carried great responsibility. As queen, she faced a moment where silence would have been safer but she chose to act. She risked her life to stand for her people, stepping forward with courage when it mattered most.

Her story is about purpose in difficult moments. It asks a simple question: when the time comes, will you step forward or hold back?
