This episode of Wifey Wednesdays is about the nearly anonymous women in scripture known as Zelophehad’s daughters. These five powerful women speak up for themselves and for their father’s reputation, but ultimately are able to be a part of a bigger story: that God is not a respecter of persons and will always act in perfect justice. 

On this episode of Wifey Wednesdays, Emily looks at the disturbing account of Lot’s daughters and what we can learn about what fear does to us. This episode has many horrific details and yet, there is such a beautiful redemptive picture given in scripture. This episode highlights God’s faithfulness to redeem even in the midst of our most chaotic mess-making.

On this episode of Wifey Wednesdays, Emily examines the two prayers of Hannah found in 1 Samuel. This episode is intended to help us in our prayer lives, challenging us to think less about ourselves and more about praising God.

The latest episode of Wifey Wednesdays focuses on the matriarch Sarah, whose bad advice has lasting consequences. While her life must have been filled with struggle and stress, the choices made around the promise of a child show a lack of trust in God’s timing and just how powerful the advice of a wife can be. May this episode help us all consider and weigh our words and opinions before speaking.

On this episode of Wifey Wednesdays, Emily looks at a familiar Old Testament woman, Rahab. Though most notable for her sinful choices before meeting two spies from the camp of Israel, Rahab has much to teach us about the power of belief. This episode even touches on the notable lie that Rahab tells in order to save the spies from Jericho’s king. 

The newest season of Wifey Wednesdays kicks off with a study of Athaliah, a powerful Old Testament queen who ruled with wickedness in her heart and cruelty towards her family members. Throughout the season, Emily will be looking at different powerful examples in Scripture, sometimes positive and sometimes negative, to see how our lives can be challenged to change and be molded into the image of Jesus. Athaliah provides a remarkable view at just how far selfishness can take you. 

The season finale has finally arrived for Wifey Wednesdays season 21. Having spent two seasons overviewing the Old Testament, Emily wraps up the season by looking at the remnant’s return to the Promised Land. Having survived captivity, God’s people are brought back in waves to rebuild the temple, the walls, and ultimately, their knowledge of God and their obedience to Him.

This episode of Wifey Wednesdays focuses on the time of the prophets in our Old Testament history. While there was an entire episode dedicated to Elijah, this episode is intended to overview the work of all of the prophets and ultimately showcase how they were pointing to Jesus. 

Giving bits and pieces of detail about some of the prophets, Emily directs the listener’s attention to the blessing we have of living in a time that the prophets dreamed about — having the complete revealed will of God and knowing the scheme of redemption in full. This episode, while meant to round out our survey of the Old Testament, is hopefully going to encourage us to spend more time pouring over their words and basking in the goodness of God’s plan and the blessing of living in a time where we can benefit from the work of Christ in our own lives!
