S01:E12 Deborah: Exceptional, Not an Exception w/ Sandra Richter

  • Summary

  • Deborah, a prominent figure in the book of Judges, challenges the perception that women are only in the text because there are no good men available. In a male-dominated society, Deborah's leadership and influence as a judge for over 40 years is exceptional. She is one of the few judges in the Old Testament who is also titled as a prophet, highlighting her significant role in shaping the nation of Israel. Deborah's title as a mother in Israel further emphasizes the importance of motherhood, a role often marginalized in society. In this conversation, Sandy Richter discusses the character of Deborah in the book of Judges and her role as a prophet and judge in ancient Israel. Sandy highlights the significance of Deborah's leadership and the connections between her ministry and that of other biblical figures like Samuel and Moses. She also addresses the issue of women in ministry and challenges the cultural norms and biases that limit their roles. Sandy encourages both men and women to recognize and embrace their gifts and to be courageous in answering the call of the Holy Spirit.
