We’re continuing our excavation as we move into the book of Judges and then the era of the kings, looking at the prophetess and judge Deborah (and her fellow warrior, Jael), and the prophetess Huldah. We’re discussing these powerful examples of women in leadership in Israel, and taking on the pervasive interpretation that their leadership was a last resort in the absence of other willing male leaders. These are some women who aren’t always paid their due so we are excited to dig into their stories!
