Why Was Deborah a Judge?

Why Was Deborah a Judge?

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2115292/fan_mail/new] Why Deborah? Scripture never tells us. God doesn't explain why He chose a married woman sitting beneath a palm tree to lead Israel during one of its darkest seasons. In this episode, Laurie explores the surprising lesson hidden in Deborah's story: God rarely calls the people we expect, and He seldom explains His choices. Instead, He works through ordinary people who are willing to trust Him, encourage others, and step forward in obedience. If you've ever wondered whether you're qualified for what God has placed in front of you, Deborah's story offers a  reminder that extraordinary things happen when we recognize that God—not our credentials—is the source of the work.  For courageous inspiration, catch up on Laurie's blogs and find Take the Hill Events at www.LaurieGreenWestlake.com.

When God Moves Slow

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2115292/fan_mail/new]  In a culture that celebrates instant success, we’ve grown used to microwave timelines. But Scripture often tells a different story—one where God works slowly, shaping character long before the outcome becomes visible. Today we’re looking at Joseph’s life and what it teaches us about faithfulness in seasons that take longer than we expected.  For courageous inspiration, catch up on Laurie's blogs and find Take the Hill Events at www.LaurieGreenWestlake.com.
