Ep 15: Born for Bravery (Shiphrah and Puah) Mar 19, 2024

Show notes

On today's episode, you'll meet 2 "hidden figures" of the Old Testament. You may have never heard about Shiphrah and Puah, but Moses thought they were pretty important! He included their names and their story of bravery in his birth narrative in Exodus 1. We will see the theme of "woman against the serpent" in living color! Stay tuned til the end to catch the sister's fantastic rendition of the (anything but) hit song, "I'll Say Yes" from their favorite childhood musical.
