In the ancient disciple-rabbi relationship, the disciple would follow the rabbi so closely that he would be covered in the dust kicked up from his rabbi’s feet. Thousands of years later, though we walk on roads of pavement and not dust, we are still called to be disciples—to follow our Rabbi, Jesus Christ, so closely that we are covered with his life, changed, and made new.

The short videos will be put together as a type of retreat.

🌸Women of the Bible Discovering Our Dignity🌸

Women of the Old and New Testaments were as flawed and broken as we can be, yet the power of God worked in their lives. Discovering Our Dignity will allow you to learn from their experiences and uncover ways to deal with unwanted circumstances and deferred hopes. Through their stories recorded in Scripture, women of the Bible reach out to touch our “present” in a tender, honest, and loving way—woman to woman—with ancient wisdom, sage advice, and insights from two sorrowful failures and emotional wounds.

Learn how God worked in the lives of Biblical women:
Sisters Leah and Rachel overcame jealousy when they learned that God offered all that they really needed. Abigail’s faith was so strong she didn’t despair, no matter how unpleasant life was with her husband.
Deborah had been given grace by God to act as His prophet, for the good of her people. Mary’s “yes” to God—her fiat—changed everything. How else did her words and deeds influence Jesus and vice versa?
A series of talks accompanies this 22-lesson Bible study.

Materials needed: Walking with Purpose: Discovering Our Dignity by Lisa Brenninkmeyer | Cost: $45.00 plus shipping
