Throughout the grand story of Scripture, women are not sidelined—they are central. This course explores how God has strategically placed and empowered women to lead, shape, and advance His redemptive mission across history. From the matriarchs of Genesis to the female disciples and leaders of the early church, we’ll uncover the powerful roles women have played in God’s unfolding plan of salvation.

You’ll encounter courageous leaders like Deborah, who led Israel in a time of crisis; Esther, who used her influence to save a nation; and Mary, whose faithful “yes” launched the incarnation of Christ. We’ll explore prophetic voices like Miriam and Huldah, wise mentors like Priscilla, and devoted partners in ministry like Phoebe and Junia, recognized as co-laborers in the work of the Gospel.

This course doesn’t just retell familiar stories—it reframes them to highlight the theological significance, leadership impact, and strategic placement of women in salvation history. We’ll consider themes such as calling, courage, partnership, justice, and the radical inclusion of women in Jesus’ ministry and the early church.

Whether you're a ministry leader, a student of Scripture, or someone simply eager to understand the Bible more fully, this course will deepen your appreciation for how God works through women—then and now. You’ll walk away with fresh insight, theological depth, and a renewed vision for how the whole people of God are called to lead and serve in the ongoing mission of Christ.
