Who are some of the godly women

that first come to your mind in the scriptures?

Ruth, Esther, Mary.

So one of the things that most likely have in common

is their godliness was expressed in helping men

and helping their husbands,

but their godliness is in a supportive helping role.

These are strong women, Esther.

She's courageous, Ruth, they're not doormats,

they're not wallflowers, they have different personalities.

So there's all sorts of pictures of biblical femininity

and there are all sorts of pictures

of these godly women who embrace their role

in supporting a husband in nurturing the care of children.

And so what many women need to hear is this message

to gracefully, lovingly follow,

to support, respect, your husband.
