Who do you picture when you hear the word, “disciple”? Most of us probably instinctively picture a man, but the Gospels show us that Jesus encouraged and empowered women disciples in his ministry. Today we’re looking at Jesus’s interactions with women from a grieving widow to a wealthy benefactress. Jesus has an inspiring track record of involving women in His life and ministry, and making a place of welcome for us in His presence. This episode also has some meaningful reflections from the story of Mary and Martha that can be for men as well as women, so (as always) all are welcome to dig in with us!
