Welcome to season 4! We appreciated the hiatus, make sure to check out our Instagram for a look at what we each did during the break, and we are so excited to be back with all of you for a new season of finding our place in God’s story. As we begin season 4, this episode will be released during the final week before the 2024 presidential election. We know this has been a tumultuous and anxious time for our country and for most of us, so today we’re digging into a little-known story of a princess in Judah who acted boldly to save her family line and maintain covenant relationship with Yahweh. The story of Jehosheba is about a woman in one of Israel’s darkest times who refused to be overtaken by idolatry and tyranny, and chose to move with hope on behalf of her people. She is a fitting example for us today of what it can look like to walk faithfully with the Lord above all else, and to not give up on your people.
