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.

Season 6, Christ's Ministry: The Cross, Symbol of Victory
Is the cross a symbol about death or life? defeat or triumph? humiliation or glory? Or all those things?
As I searched for answers, I became drawn to how Christians depicted crosses a thousand years ago and more, and that search became this fifteen minute video on the ancient symbols of Christianity.
From the eight-hundred-year old Batllo Majsty, now residing in in the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain, to the gorgeous Basilica di Sant’Apollinare, Ravenna, Italy, the fifth century, Mausoleum of empress Galla Placida, to Celtic crosses in Ireland, ringed crosses in Israel, and the secret symbols of the anchor, fish, and loaves in the first-century church, this short talk follows believers’ portrayals of the glory of our risen Lord, Jesus Christ.
