All God's Women
Ichabod's Mom The Glory Departed
We’ve covered many women who inspire us to greatness because of their faith. Today we look at a woman who teaches us through her lack of faith. I wish we knew her name, but though we know her husband’s name, her father-in-law’s name, and her son’s name, God didn’t seem fit to share with us her name. Perhaps it’s because as a nameless woman she represents so many women filling the pews in churches every Sunday.
We find today’s woman in 1 Samuel. She gets 4 verses in the Bible, and all of those are related to the birth of her son. So who was she and why was she included?

28. Rizpah - A Testimony of Unfailing Vigilance
11:05||Ep. 28Are you suffering or grieving today? Are you feeling hurt and alone perhaps thinking that no one has had to suffer quite like you have? Are you wondering if God Himself has forsaken you?If so, please know you’re not alone. The Bible is full of women who went through unspeakable tragedies. Today we look at one of those women. Rizpah, concubine of King Saul, was the victim of national gossip and then watched helplessly as her two sons were hanged for the sins of their father. And yet, through it all, she held her head high and reacted with dignity and strength. 2 Samuel 3:7-112 Samuel 21:1-14For All God's Women Bible study show notes, visit All God's Women websiteSocial Corner:All God's Women on FacebookAll God's Women Bible Study Group on FacebookAll God's Women on TwitterHost Sharon Wilharm on FacebookHost Sharon Wilharm on TwitterHost Sharon Wilharm on InstagramHost Sharon Wilharm on LinkedInHost Sharon Wilharm on PinterestHost Sharon Wilharm is a Christian speaker, female filmmaker, and women's ministry leader.

23. Mephibosheth's Nurse - A Hero Who Fell Down on the Job
09:48||Season 1, Ep. 23Have you ever made a mistake that caused harm to someone else? Did you have good intentions but fell short of what you were trying to do? What happens when despite our best efforts, we still fail?In today’s episode of All God’s Women we look at Mephibosheth’s nurse, a woman who acted heroically but tripped and fell in the midst of her heroic act. The impact of her tumble forever changed the life of her young charge. Mephibosheth’s nurse is an unnamed woman who is mentioned just once in the Bible. In 2 Samuel 4:4 we’re told, “Jonathan, Saul’s son, had a son who was lame in his feet. He was five years old when the news about Saul and Jonathan came from Jezreel; and his nurse took him up and fled. And it happened, as she made haste to flee, that he fell and became lame. His name was Mephibosheth.”Because of the nurse’s courage in grabbing him and hiding him away, he was later able to take his rightful place at the king’s table. His nurse never got to witness the fruits of her effort. All she saw was her failure. But God used her to save an heir to the kingdom. We may be like that nurse. All around us we see danger. Those around us are at risk of dying. They’re wondering around in confusion with no idea where to turn. It’s easy for us to panic, to say there’s nothing we can do. To be fearful of doing the wrong thing and making matters worse. God doesn’t expect us to be perfect. He knows our weaknesses and frailties. But if we keep our eyes on Him and grab those around us, determined to lead them to eternal life, He can take our humble efforts and do a mighty work through them. We may never live to see the fruits of our labor, but that doesn’t mean our work is in vain. Even if we stumble over the right words. If we fear we’ve only made things worse, God will reward our efforts. I challenge you to look around you. See those who are lost and seeking help. Be there for them, helping to guide them in the way that leads to life. If you’re wondering what to say or do, take it to God. Ask Him to speak through you. Use Romans 6:23 as your basis. Tell them your story of how you came to know Christ and how He’s worked in your life. Don’t delay. Commit today to making sure that when you get to heaven, you bring a crowd with you.

22. The Medium of En Dor - An Unexpected Lesson
10:58||Season 1, Ep. 22Have you noticed how kind and caring the world has become? Some of the most ungodly individuals are claiming to be the most compassionate, while Christians are portrayed as judgmental and hateful. What does all this mean? In today’s episode we look at one of the most unusual stories in the Bible. We meet the Medium of En Dor, a kind woman engaged in a dangerous profession. From this most unlikely source, we can gain insight as to how we as Christians should be treating those around us. In 1 Samuel 28, we find King Saul desperately seeking direction for his life. The prophet Samuel was dead, and when Saul called out himself to God, the Lord didn’t answer him. So in true Saul fashion, he took matters into his own handsAlthough he had driven out the spiritists from the land, his servants told him about a woman in nearby En Dor who conjured up the dead. The woman of En Dor was not a godly woman. She was a pagan woman who made a living as a soothsayer. We’re not sure if she was actually dealing in the occult or if she was a fake, pretending to talk to the dead, but really just deceiving unsuspecting individuals. Either way, she’s not someone we would think of when we think of godly women, and yet, we can learn much from her.For All God's Women Bible study show notes, visit All God's Women websiteSocial Corner:All God's Women on FacebookAll God's Women Bible Study Group on FacebookAll God's Women on TwitterHost Sharon Wilharm on FacebookHost Sharon Wilharm on TwitterHost Sharon Wilharm on InstagramHost Sharon Wilharm on LinkedInHost Sharon Wilharm on PinterestHost Sharon Wilharm is a Christian speaker, female filmmaker, and women's ministry leader.

21. Abigail - A Light Shining in the Darkness
09:19||Season 1, Ep. 21Have you ever thought to yourself if only you were rich and beautiful, all your problems would disappear? Have you ever been envious of another woman for her wealth or beauty? Have you ever been jealous of another woman only to discover a dark side to her life that you never could have imagined?In today’s episode of All God’s Women we look at Abigail, a beautiful woman married to a wealthy man, but her home life and her marriage were anything but picture perfect. We meet Abigail in 1 Samuel 25. We’re told that she was beautiful and intelligent, but she was married to Nabal, a rich man who was harsh and evil.
