Her Story
Her Story with Grace and Peace Joanne, LLC, seeks to retell the stories of women who were divinely called and empowered to do great things.
Many of them rose to the occasion, and a few very famously did not.
Often, the tragedies and triumphs in their lives are missed, their accounts sidelined, and their portrayals given from perspectives that dismiss the honor and dignity they deserve.
Excavating their narratives from millennia of obfuscation, we now meet the freshly restored, valiant, vivid, and sometimes villainous women of the Bible.
Her Story offers a deep appreciation for God’s work and call in and through women in the scriptures and encourages you and me to take practical steps towards recognition and support of women in all levels and varieties of ministry and spiritual leadership today.
Her Story
Season 5, Kings and Queens: Huldah
Have you ever even -heard- of Huldah?
I bet not!
Most timelines for the history of ancient Israel place prophets alongside the kings they advised. Even prophets without their own books, such as the prophet Nathan who counseled King David, are listed. But as much as I look for her, I have yet to see the prophet Huldah listed as well.
It is a strange choice, to leave her out of Judah’s timeline, as she was perhaps the most influential prophet of her day. The fate of her people, her nation, and her king hung on the oracle she would deliver.
In telling her story, we will look first at her background, then at the words God gave her to speak, the impact of those words on the final generation of people who lived until Judah’s exile, and the enduring importance of Huldah’s ministry, to this day.
