Show Notes

What made the women of the early church courageous? Start with the world they lived in and the ways Jesus challenged its expectations.

In Episode 1 of the Courageous Women Bible Study on See Hear Love Season 12, host Melinda Estabrooks welcomes Helen Burns, Carmen Bucma, Caroline Durochet, and Rev. Dr. Yajara Gomez. Together, they explore the historical context behind the series and reflect on what Jesus’ example means for women, ministry, and leadership today.

In this conversation, we explore:
• Women’s lives and expectations within the Roman Empire.
• Jesus’ teaching that greatness is expressed through service.
• Women as ministry partners, patrons, teachers, and leaders.
• Jesus’ encounters with Mary of Bethany and the Samaritan woman.
• Finding courage when rejection or self-doubt makes us shrink back.

This opening episode lays the groundwork for upcoming studies of Phoebe, Lydia, Junia, and Philip’s daughters. It also invites us to consider how faith can shape the way we use our voices and serve our communities.
