In this episode, we start a new series focused on 'Women of the Bible,' starting with Deborah from Judges 4 and 5! We highlight Deborah's leadership qualities, her role as a judge and prophetess, and her significance in bringing 40 years of peace to Israel. We talk about what we admire her and how she leads. We conclude with characters in pop culture that remind us of Deborah, and of course, our conversation starter questions!

Read: Judges 4-5, and Exodus 15

Conversation Starters:

• How do you handle people coming to you for advice and help?
• How do we lead and teach the truth?
• God called Deborah to lead in a time of uncertainty and oppression for the Israelites. Is God asking you to help the oppressed or brokenhearted in any way?
• Is there a verse that sticks out in her song to give you hope and confidence in your life?
