I think God for the faith of my great grandmother when I think about women whose narratives point to Jesus

I think of Nanakutu who's story when she tells it points to Jesus and I pray that my children can say the same of me

And that we would have many generations of women whose stories point to Jesus

Well, today is another exciting day. Oh, yeah, why is that? Because we're talking about women of the Bible. It's not something we talk about that often. No, we need to talk about it more.

Because there are so many women that are overlooked. But today we're going to highlight some and we've been doing that. We did it yesterday and we have another series that we did earlier.

That is pretty remarkable. Yeah, we've got Nana Dosey back with us. She is the expert. In my opinion, a woman of the Bible. Welcome back. Thank you for having me.

Yeah, I mean, just your smile brings joy to the room. Really? You are... There's a beauty and elegance that you carry that's pretty incredible. I wish I could talk to you every day.

We'll tell you that every day. But your book is called The Seed of the Woman. And the subtitle is 30 narratives that point to Jesus.

And you're covering women all the way back to the beginning of Eve. And you're pointing us and these women are pointing us to Jesus.

You're a mom of three. You're a wife. You're an author. And you're now teaching a seminary class. Tell us about that.

That's right. It's called The Women's Teaching Lab. It's an RTS Washington. Such a fun class. We get together as women and we think through how do I better handle God's word.

Yeah, these are women teaching in the local church. And so how do we do what we're doing better?

And remind us, you shared earlier, but how did this book come about? Because it started out in your house.

It did, right on my couch, with a small group of women. For two years, we walked through the story of the Bible.

And I wanted to just give them the sense of the grand narrative of Scripture by using the narratives of women as our stopping point as we take that journey together.

It was a wonderful to you. And that's unusual.

Not everybody takes that study, you know, and highlights the women. And these women loved it.

Oh, they loved it. Yeah, they talk about it today.

I'm just going to tell you, you need to turn this into a video curriculum that people could watch in their homes and teach.

I mean, and you stop with Mary, the mother of Jesus. So maybe your next book is now you take us into the lives of the New Testament women.

There are women there too.
