Summary

We're continuing our Daughters Series with the story of Deborah — a fearless judge, prophetess, and leader who heard God’s voice clearly and walked in radical obedience. We talk about what it actually looks like to hear from God in everyday life, why obedience isn’t about getting recognition, and how God often uses the unseen and overlooked moments to shape us most deeply. Through Deborah’s story, we’re reminded that when God is on our side, we truly have nothing to fear — even when the odds feel impossible. This convo is full of honesty, encouragement, and practical wisdom for anyone longing to hear God more clearly and trust Him more boldly in this season. In This Episode [02:00] Who Was Deborah?

And so she would always like, be like, she did literally have a measuring stick and be like measuring girls like skirts to make sure they like fell at the right length and stuff. And so anyway, she's giving me. If your skirt was too short, you got detention. Immediately. Sent to detention. But anyway, she's giving, I think her name was Miss Coil, she's giving Miss Coil vibes.
