The Men We Needed: What Makes A Man?

The Men We Needed: What Makes A Man?

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2513256/fan_mail/new] What makes a man? Is it strength?  Success?  Power?  Control? Joseph’s story offers a different answer. Betrayed by his brothers. Sold into slavery. Falsely accused. Forgotten in prison. Joseph faced rejection, injustice, disappointment, and heartbreak at nearly every turn. Yet he refused to become bitter. In the opening episode of The Men We Needed, we explore the life of a man whose character was forged through adversity and whose response to pain changed generations. Together, we’ll examine what true strength looks like, why integrity matters when no one is watching, and how forgiveness can become one of the greatest acts of courage a person can choose. Joseph’s story reminds us that manhood is not defined by power—it is revealed through character. Join us as we begin a journey through the lives of biblical men whose stories still speak to the challenges, struggles, and hopes of men today. Because the men we needed were never perfect. They were willing to grow. Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2513256/support]

But Scripture says:  ✨ “David sent messengers to get her.” — 2 Samuel 11:4 This episode asks deeper questions about power, loss, misplaced shame, and what it means to continue living after your story becomes public. Bathsheba lost more than history often acknowledges: * her safety * her privacy * her husband * and the ability to grieve quietly Yet God did not erase her from redemption’s story. Through reflections from The Most Misunderstood Women of the Bible and themes echoed in The Mothers, this conversation invites listeners to reconsider the women Scripture never reduced the way history often has.

Misunderstood Motherhood: Tamar

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2513256/fan_mail/new] In Week 3 of our Misunderstood Motherhood series, we explore Tamar in Genesis 38—a woman whose story has often been reduced to scandal when it was really about abandonment, survival, dignity, and refusing to disappear inside a system that failed her. After being widowed and left in prolonged uncertainty, Tamar realizes silence is no longer protecting her—it’s erasing her. And in one of the most startling moments in Scripture, Judah ultimately declares: ✨ “She is more righteous than I.” — Genesis 38:26 This episode invites us to reconsider the women we label “too much,” and asks deeper questions about justice, grief, neglect, and the emotional cost of being overlooked. If you’ve ever felt emotionally stranded, forgotten, or exhausted from shrinking yourself to keep others comfortable, this conversation is for you. ✨ Some women are not “too much.”  They have simply been unheard for too long. Inspired by The Most Misunderstood Women of the Bible and woven with reflections from The Mothers, this episode explores survival, sacred dignity, and the courage to stop disappearing. 🎙️ Listen now on The Write Voice Podcast Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2513256/support]
