Faith Under Fire: The Widow of Zarephath

What do you do when you’re down to your last meal… and God asks you to give first?

In this episode of Faith Under Fire, we explore the story of the Widow of Zarephath in 1 Kings 17 — a Gentile woman living in famine who trusted God when she had nothing left. In a place called Zarephath, meaning “refining furnace,” her faith was tested through drought, loss, and even the death of her son — yet God proved Himself faithful through supernatural provision and resurrection power.

We’ll also see how Jesus later references her in the Gospel of Luke, revealing that God’s mercy has always extended beyond borders.

If you feel like you’re running on empty, this episode is a reminder: when you’re running out, God is not.

Faith Under Fire: Shiprah & Puah — The Midwives Who Defied Pharaoh

What does it look like to fear God more than powerful men?

In this episode of the Kingdom Housewives Podcast, we continue our February series Faith Under Fire: Women Who Trusted God When Fear or Danger Was Present by spotlighting two often-overlooked women whose quiet obedience changed history—Shiphrah and Puah, the Hebrew midwives of Exodus 1.

Long before Moses was placed in a basket…
Before Miriam watched from the riverbank…
Before Pharaoh’s daughter acted in compassion…
Two women stood face-to-face with a command to kill—and chose to obey God instead.

When Pharaoh ordered state-sponsored murder of Hebrew baby boys, Shiphrah and Puah feared the Lord more than the throne of Egypt. Their courage preserved life, protected God’s promise, and set the stage for Israel’s deliverance.

In this episode, we explore:
• What “faith under fire” really looks like
• Why God honors women who stand when it’s dangerous
• How ordinary obedience can impact generations
• Why fearing God always brings greater security than fearing man

If you’ve ever felt pressured to stay silent, compromise, or go along with what God clearly calls wrong—this episode is for you.

“The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe.” — Proverbs 29:25

Because of Shiphrah and Puah’s faith under fire, history was changed. And your obedience still matters today.
