11
00:00:41,297 --> 00:00:43,137
Speaker 1: If you look at all the moms of the Bible,

12
00:00:43,417 --> 00:00:47,137
Speaker 1: so many of their flawed stories reflect the grace of

13
00:00:47,177 --> 00:00:51,257
Speaker 1: God that says, now I've got you broken, and now

14
00:00:51,377 --> 00:00:52,856
Speaker 1: I can use you in a way I never could

15
00:00:52,897 --> 00:00:56,937
Speaker 1: have used you had you not failed, because now you're

16
00:00:57,017 --> 00:00:59,617
Speaker 1: relying completely on Christ alone.

17
00:01:00,297 --> 00:01:02,977
Speaker 2: Welcome to a special Scripture focus bonus episode of the

18
00:01:03,097 --> 00:01:05,977
Speaker 2: Jesus Calling Podcast where we examine the story and roles

19
00:01:05,977 --> 00:01:08,257
Speaker 2: of mothers in the Bible with author and host of

20
00:01:08,297 --> 00:01:12,017
Speaker 2: the Old Ladies Know Stuff podcast, Rhonda Stoppy. Ronda walks

21
00:01:12,057 --> 00:01:13,777
Speaker 2: us through the lives of women in the Bible like

22
00:01:13,857 --> 00:01:17,777
Speaker 2: Naomi Eunice, the mother of Timothy, Mary, and more. She

23
00:01:17,897 --> 00:01:20,257
Speaker 2: shows us what we can learn from biblical mothers that

24
00:01:20,417 --> 00:01:22,577
Speaker 2: challenge and equip us to guide the next generation.

25
00:01:26,617 --> 00:01:31,537
Speaker 1: God calls older women to teach the younger. When I

26
00:01:31,577 --> 00:01:35,617
Speaker 1: look back on my life, I remember not having a

27
00:01:35,857 --> 00:01:38,057
Speaker 1: clue how to be the wife I wanted to be

28
00:01:38,257 --> 00:01:40,617
Speaker 1: the mom. I wanted to be the woman I wanted

29
00:01:40,617 --> 00:01:45,457
Speaker 1: to be. I needed mentors, I needed help. And it's

30
00:01:45,737 --> 00:01:50,657
Speaker 1: this struggle of loneliness because we compare ourselves against other

31
00:01:50,817 --> 00:01:53,257
Speaker 1: women that we think have it all together. And I think,

32
00:01:53,537 --> 00:01:56,777
Speaker 1: especially in this time in history when social media is

33
00:01:56,777 --> 00:02:00,657
Speaker 1: such a part of mom's and women's lives, that comparison

34
00:02:01,137 --> 00:02:05,537
Speaker 1: trap makes us feel guilty or prideful. So, whether it's

35
00:02:05,617 --> 00:02:07,537
Speaker 1: because you feel like you're not doing well or you're

36
00:02:07,537 --> 00:02:11,137
Speaker 1: doing super well, either one is not what God has

37
00:02:11,177 --> 00:02:14,417
Speaker 1: for us. The Bible says these things were written for

38
00:02:14,497 --> 00:02:22,057
Speaker 1: our instruction. I couldn't stop exploring the lives of these

39
00:02:22,137 --> 00:02:25,777
Speaker 1: women in history that God used for their time will.

40
00:02:25,897 --> 00:02:30,017
Speaker 1: So many of their flawed stories reflect the grace of

41
00:02:30,057 --> 00:02:34,177
Speaker 1: God that says, now I've got you broken, and now

42
00:02:34,257 --> 00:02:35,737
Speaker 1: I can use you in a way I never could

43
00:02:35,777 --> 00:02:39,857
Speaker 1: have used you had you not failed. Because now you're

44
00:02:39,937 --> 00:02:44,017
Speaker 1: relying completely on Christ alone. And one of the women

45
00:02:44,297 --> 00:02:47,377
Speaker 1: that stood out to me was Naomi. And I think

46
00:02:47,377 --> 00:02:50,097
Speaker 1: it's because I'm older now, so I'm identifying with that

47
00:02:50,137 --> 00:02:53,817
Speaker 1: older woman. But I full on expected Naomi's story to

48
00:02:53,897 --> 00:02:57,137
Speaker 1: be one of mentorship. She mentored Ruth, she told Ruth

49
00:02:57,137 --> 00:02:59,737
Speaker 1: what to do? You know all that. But as I

50
00:02:59,737 --> 00:03:03,977
Speaker 1: got into Naomi's story, that whole account of her life,

51
00:03:04,017 --> 00:03:07,177
Speaker 1: it's not a story, it's a biblical account in history,

52
00:03:07,977 --> 00:03:14,297
Speaker 1: is of her walking through loss, through grief, through infertility,

53
00:03:14,737 --> 00:03:18,857
Speaker 1: through not having any clue what God is doing, and

54
00:03:18,897 --> 00:03:22,737
Speaker 1: being alone, all by herself. She follows her husband to

55
00:03:22,737 --> 00:03:25,377
Speaker 1: a foreign land when there's a drought in Israel. They

56
00:03:25,377 --> 00:03:27,817
Speaker 1: were going to come back soon one day when everything's better,

57
00:03:27,857 --> 00:03:32,337
Speaker 1: will come home. Well. Then her husband died grief. She

58
00:03:32,377 --> 00:03:36,337
Speaker 1: still had her two boys, but her boys married Moabite women.

59
00:03:37,097 --> 00:03:39,457
Speaker 1: This was a Jewish mother who wanted her sons to

60
00:03:39,537 --> 00:03:43,217
Speaker 1: marry Jewish women, which is what Jewish tradition required, and

61
00:03:43,257 --> 00:03:47,297
Speaker 1: they married Moabite women, whose religion burned babies on the

62
00:03:47,417 --> 00:03:52,097
Speaker 1: altar of sacrifice. But infertility visited their family and neither

63
00:03:52,137 --> 00:03:56,457
Speaker 1: one of the girls could conceive, and then both of

64
00:03:56,457 --> 00:03:59,337
Speaker 1: her sons pass away. Here she is in a foreign

65
00:03:59,457 --> 00:04:01,937
Speaker 1: land with these two daughters in law living with her,

66
00:04:01,937 --> 00:04:05,937
Speaker 1: relying on her. And that's when Naomi goes that that's it.

67
00:04:06,497 --> 00:04:10,057
Speaker 1: I'm done. I'm going home. I'm going back to my people,

68
00:04:10,217 --> 00:04:12,897
Speaker 1: and I'm going back to my God. And the daughters

69
00:04:12,897 --> 00:04:15,977
Speaker 1: in law follow her until they get a certain distance away,

70
00:04:16,017 --> 00:04:19,817
Speaker 1: and Naomi realizes I have nothing for you. Immediately she says,

71
00:04:19,817 --> 00:04:22,337
Speaker 1: go back to your gods and your people, and Orpah does.

72
00:04:22,376 --> 00:04:24,616
Speaker 1: She returns home to her family and her gods, and

73
00:04:24,657 --> 00:04:28,616
Speaker 1: you never hear from Orpah again. But at this point

74
00:04:28,697 --> 00:04:33,177
Speaker 1: in Naomi's story is when Ruth says, oh, no, your

75
00:04:33,217 --> 00:04:36,256
Speaker 1: God will be my god. Your people will be my people.

76
00:04:36,296 --> 00:04:38,577
Speaker 1: Where you go, I will go. This is when Ruth

77
00:04:38,616 --> 00:04:41,177
Speaker 1: makes a covenant to the God of Israel. That's when

78
00:04:41,257 --> 00:04:44,657
Speaker 1: Ruth followed Naomi back to the God of Israel and

79
00:04:44,697 --> 00:04:51,456
Speaker 1: back to Israel. If you look at all the moms

80
00:04:51,457 --> 00:04:54,657
Speaker 1: of the Bible, you will find and even children in

81
00:04:54,736 --> 00:04:58,097
Speaker 1: history that were raised by their mothers, their first teachers

82
00:04:58,137 --> 00:05:00,816
Speaker 1: were not theologians. It was their moms. I think of

83
00:05:00,897 --> 00:05:05,057
Speaker 1: Lois and Eunus, and Eunice had Timothy and Lois was

84
00:05:05,097 --> 00:05:09,617
Speaker 1: the grandma. Here's Eunice and Lois, and they're pouring into Timothy.

85
00:05:10,097 --> 00:05:14,256
Speaker 1: Timothy was his dad was a Greek. Lois watched Eunus

86
00:05:14,296 --> 00:05:16,416
Speaker 1: marry someone that wasn't a Jew, that was unheard of.

87
00:05:16,496 --> 00:05:20,816
Speaker 1: That was wrong. She betrayed her people by marrying a Greek.

88
00:05:21,777 --> 00:05:24,817
Speaker 1: Historians say that probably his dad was either divorced the

89
00:05:24,816 --> 00:05:26,936
Speaker 1: mom or was dead by the time that Paul came

90
00:05:26,976 --> 00:05:30,657
Speaker 1: on the scene. So this young Timothy was being influenced

91
00:05:30,736 --> 00:05:34,257
Speaker 1: multi generationally by his mother and his grandmother. And that's

92
00:05:34,296 --> 00:05:37,696
Speaker 1: when the Apostle Paul said, because of the truth that

93
00:05:37,816 --> 00:05:40,736
Speaker 1: was implanted in you, Timothy by your mother and your grandmother,

94
00:05:41,217 --> 00:05:43,457
Speaker 1: you were ready to receive the Gospel when I delivered

95
00:05:43,457 --> 00:05:47,416
Speaker 1: it to you. A mom and a grandma. WHOA what power?

96
00:05:47,777 --> 00:05:49,817
Speaker 1: They were just doing what's in front of them. They

97
00:05:49,856 --> 00:05:52,337
Speaker 1: didn't know that they were raising the young man who

98
00:05:52,416 --> 00:05:55,737
Speaker 1: one day the Apostle Paul would hand over the very

99
00:05:55,816 --> 00:05:59,976
Speaker 1: mantle of his ministry to Timothy, right before Paul gave

100
00:06:00,056 --> 00:06:03,657
Speaker 1: his life for the sake of the Gospel. Do what's

101
00:06:03,697 --> 00:06:06,097
Speaker 1: in front of you, trust God with the outcome.

102
00:06:07,217 --> 00:06:11,576
Speaker 2: Stay tuned for more with Ronda Stoppy after a brief message.

109
00:06:32,257 --> 00:06:40,097
Speaker 1: Books Moms of the Bible. I didn't want to just

110
00:06:40,217 --> 00:06:42,337
Speaker 1: visit the moms that were you know, Mary, she was

111
00:06:42,376 --> 00:06:44,976
Speaker 1: so amazing, But I wanted to visit the stories of

112
00:06:45,017 --> 00:06:48,976
Speaker 1: the moms like Rayhab the Harlot. It's interesting that for

113
00:06:49,017 --> 00:06:53,017
Speaker 1: the rest of Rayhab's life and on through history, even

114
00:06:53,056 --> 00:06:55,537
Speaker 1: in the Book of Hebrews chapter eleven, when she's named

115
00:06:55,897 --> 00:06:59,136
Speaker 1: among the heroes of the Faith, her name is Rahab

116
00:06:59,416 --> 00:07:01,576
Speaker 1: the Harlot. I always feel like, why did she have

117
00:07:01,657 --> 00:07:03,736
Speaker 1: to keep that title? Why couldn't she shake that title

118
00:07:03,777 --> 00:07:06,416
Speaker 1: and just be known by her husband that she married,

119
00:07:06,416 --> 00:07:11,297
Speaker 1: who was an Israelite. When those spies popped into her house,

120
00:07:12,137 --> 00:07:15,697
Speaker 1: she hid them and she said to them, oh, we've

121
00:07:15,737 --> 00:07:18,857
Speaker 1: already heard about the God of Israel. We're scared. We

122
00:07:18,937 --> 00:07:22,336
Speaker 1: heard the story of what God did in Egypt. Forty

123
00:07:22,417 --> 00:07:25,537
Speaker 1: years ago, that story has visited us, and we are

124
00:07:25,577 --> 00:07:28,297
Speaker 1: scared because we know your camp just across the river,

125
00:07:28,857 --> 00:07:31,977
Speaker 1: and we know about your God. If you go back

126
00:07:32,017 --> 00:07:34,537
Speaker 1: to that time in history when God was telling Moses

127
00:07:34,537 --> 00:07:37,256
Speaker 1: and all of those trials and those plagues that kept

128
00:07:37,257 --> 00:07:41,457
Speaker 1: coming upon Israel, God kept saying that the world may

129
00:07:41,537 --> 00:07:45,057
Speaker 1: know that there is a God in Israel. And while

130
00:07:45,097 --> 00:07:46,977
Speaker 1: all that was going on, yes it was to break

131
00:07:47,017 --> 00:07:49,377
Speaker 1: the Pharaoh, and yes it was to let my people

132
00:07:49,417 --> 00:07:51,217
Speaker 1: go and for Egypt to be set free, and yes

133
00:07:51,257 --> 00:07:54,297
Speaker 1: it was for Passover, and yes it was for Israel's history,

134
00:07:54,657 --> 00:07:57,817
Speaker 1: but it was also that the world would know that

135
00:07:57,857 --> 00:08:01,257
Speaker 1: there is a God in Israel. His testimony went before him,

136
00:08:02,017 --> 00:08:07,297
Speaker 1: and forty years later this prost two women with a

137
00:08:07,497 --> 00:08:11,136
Speaker 1: shameful story, was like, hey, I know about your God

138
00:08:11,217 --> 00:08:15,576
Speaker 1: and I want him. And she hid those men, knowing

139
00:08:15,737 --> 00:08:19,097
Speaker 1: it could cost her. And then she said, when you

140
00:08:19,137 --> 00:08:20,737
Speaker 1: come back, and I know you're going to come back

141
00:08:20,777 --> 00:08:24,137
Speaker 1: and there's going to be victory, remember me and my household.

142
00:08:24,177 --> 00:08:26,257
Speaker 1: And they said, if everyone that you bring into your home,

143
00:08:26,816 --> 00:08:30,576
Speaker 1: you bring your family into your home, they will be safe.

144
00:08:30,697 --> 00:08:33,377
Speaker 1: Another lady in that chapter that I talk about is

145
00:08:33,457 --> 00:08:35,256
Speaker 1: the woman at the well, and we don't know that

146
00:08:35,337 --> 00:08:38,057
Speaker 1: she was a mom, but we know that Jesus went

147
00:08:38,137 --> 00:08:40,297
Speaker 1: to see her, and that scripture about her life says

148
00:08:40,377 --> 00:08:46,297
Speaker 1: Jesus needed to go find this woman with a poor reputation.

149
00:08:46,977 --> 00:08:49,457
Speaker 1: This woman was so ashamed of the way she had

150
00:08:49,497 --> 00:08:52,857
Speaker 1: lived her life in immorality. She would rather fight the

151
00:08:52,897 --> 00:08:55,057
Speaker 1: heat of the day in the Middle East to get

152
00:08:55,097 --> 00:08:58,097
Speaker 1: water than have to see the stairs and gossip of

153
00:08:58,137 --> 00:09:00,297
Speaker 1: the women that would be talking about her behind her back.

154
00:09:01,097 --> 00:09:04,977
Speaker 1: And Jesus went to rescue her. He needed to go

155
00:09:05,017 --> 00:09:07,657
Speaker 1: find her. And then in Jesus' kindness, he sends the

156
00:09:07,657 --> 00:09:10,257
Speaker 1: disciples a way to get food. And I love how

157
00:09:10,377 --> 00:09:12,697
Speaker 1: kind the Lord is because this woman would have felt

158
00:09:12,737 --> 00:09:14,817
Speaker 1: such shame, And if all those disciples were sitting there

159
00:09:14,857 --> 00:09:17,537
Speaker 1: staring at her while Jesus was talking, she may not

160
00:09:17,617 --> 00:09:19,497
Speaker 1: have been as open. But it was just the two

161
00:09:19,537 --> 00:09:22,537
Speaker 1: of them, and he asks for water, and then he says,

162
00:09:22,537 --> 00:09:24,377
Speaker 1: if you knew who was asking you for water, you'd

163
00:09:24,417 --> 00:09:27,937
Speaker 1: ask for a living water. I love her story because

164
00:09:27,977 --> 00:09:30,417
Speaker 1: as soon as her eyes are open and Jesus reveals

165
00:09:30,897 --> 00:09:33,817
Speaker 1: to her the first person in history that he says

166
00:09:33,857 --> 00:09:37,457
Speaker 1: with his own words, I am that promised Messiah. Just

167
00:09:37,497 --> 00:09:39,417
Speaker 1: as the disciples walk up, they hear him say it

168
00:09:39,417 --> 00:09:42,657
Speaker 1: plainly for the first time. He chose to give that

169
00:09:42,817 --> 00:09:46,737
Speaker 1: information to a woman with a shameful story, And what

170
00:09:46,777 --> 00:09:49,577
Speaker 1: does she do. Immediately she drops her bucket and she

171
00:09:49,857 --> 00:09:51,977
Speaker 1: runs right back into that city where she had so

172
00:09:52,097 --> 00:09:54,417
Speaker 1: much shame, and she's like, I found him, I found

173
00:09:54,457 --> 00:09:56,857
Speaker 1: the Messiah. Come and see if this is not the one.

174
00:09:57,657 --> 00:10:00,417
Speaker 1: I love that, because when we find Jesus, we can't

175
00:10:00,417 --> 00:10:08,577
Speaker 1: help but go back and tell people. One of the

176
00:10:08,617 --> 00:10:10,657
Speaker 1: moms of the Bible that I want to talk about

177
00:10:10,697 --> 00:10:15,817
Speaker 1: is Herodius. Herodius was the mother of Salome. Herodias was

178
00:10:15,897 --> 00:10:19,777
Speaker 1: married to herod who had arrested John the Baptist, because

179
00:10:19,817 --> 00:10:23,057
Speaker 1: John the Baptist approached Herodias and Herod and said, hey,

180
00:10:23,777 --> 00:10:26,897
Speaker 1: you left your husband and married his brother Herodias, and

181
00:10:26,897 --> 00:10:31,497
Speaker 1: that was wrong, and they arrested him, and she wanted

182
00:10:31,537 --> 00:10:33,657
Speaker 1: him put to death, but Herodias was afraid of the people,

183
00:10:33,697 --> 00:10:36,977
Speaker 1: so he just kept John the Baptist in prison. And

184
00:10:37,017 --> 00:10:39,657
Speaker 1: then in the story we find that Salome dances before

185
00:10:39,697 --> 00:10:43,457
Speaker 1: the king and he applauds and just is so proud

186
00:10:43,577 --> 00:10:47,257
Speaker 1: of his stepdaughter and before everyone in the room. He says,

187
00:10:47,937 --> 00:10:50,177
Speaker 1: I will give you whatever you want, up to half

188
00:10:50,297 --> 00:10:53,537
Speaker 1: my kingdom. And the first thing this daughter does is

189
00:10:53,617 --> 00:10:55,937
Speaker 1: run to her mother to say, what should I ask for? Okay,

190
00:10:55,937 --> 00:10:59,657
Speaker 1: time out. A good mom would have been, oh, honey,

191
00:10:59,737 --> 00:11:01,777
Speaker 1: ask for a new chariot, ask for a palace that

192
00:11:01,817 --> 00:11:03,777
Speaker 1: you can live out your days in the kingdom. What

193
00:11:03,817 --> 00:11:06,937
Speaker 1: does her mom say? This bitter, evil woman was waiting

194
00:11:06,977 --> 00:11:09,697
Speaker 1: for an opportunity, and she said, oh, ask for John

195
00:11:09,697 --> 00:11:12,417
Speaker 1: the Baptist's head on a platter. The daughter must have

196
00:11:12,417 --> 00:11:14,737
Speaker 1: been familiar with the way that her mom interacted with

197
00:11:14,937 --> 00:11:17,657
Speaker 1: life and known the bitterness, and she runs over to

198
00:11:17,737 --> 00:11:20,817
Speaker 1: please her mother and says to Herod, I want John

199
00:11:20,857 --> 00:11:23,577
Speaker 1: the Baptist head on a platter. And I can't help

200
00:11:23,577 --> 00:11:25,377
Speaker 1: but think that there are women that had a mom

201
00:11:25,617 --> 00:11:28,577
Speaker 1: who was like Herodias. They had a mom who they

202
00:11:28,657 --> 00:11:31,577
Speaker 1: tried so hard to please, but that mom's bitterness and

203
00:11:32,297 --> 00:11:36,897
Speaker 1: harsh upbringing imprinted upon them, and maybe they're having a

204
00:11:36,937 --> 00:11:40,497
Speaker 1: hard time for giving that mom. When Jesus sets us free,

205
00:11:40,577 --> 00:11:43,697
Speaker 1: when we surrender to him as our Lord and our savior,

206
00:11:43,737 --> 00:11:46,297
Speaker 1: and he takes our sins and washes us whiter than snow,

207
00:11:46,337 --> 00:11:49,097
Speaker 1: as far as east is from the west. The freedom

208
00:11:49,137 --> 00:11:53,017
Speaker 1: that can come Herodiaus story is a hard one, and

209
00:11:53,097 --> 00:11:55,817
Speaker 1: hearing a call to forgive someone who has wronged you

210
00:11:56,297 --> 00:11:58,977
Speaker 1: is a hard one. But that is our freedom, and

211
00:11:59,017 --> 00:12:01,177
Speaker 1: that's how we break free from them only through the

212
00:12:01,177 --> 00:12:05,977
Speaker 1: help of Jesus Christ in us the hope of glory man.

213
00:12:06,297 --> 00:12:09,857
Speaker 1: Motherhood is just challenging, isn't It's humbling, And there's seasons

214
00:12:09,857 --> 00:12:12,177
Speaker 1: that are great and there are seasons that are not.

215
00:12:12,577 --> 00:12:14,617
Speaker 1: And I think of the Apostle Paul when he says,

216
00:12:14,897 --> 00:12:17,217
Speaker 1: you know, I've learned in whatever state I am in

217
00:12:18,097 --> 00:12:20,537
Speaker 1: to be thankful. But there are seasons in our life

218
00:12:20,737 --> 00:12:24,897
Speaker 1: that are so hard and so painful, and if we

219
00:12:25,057 --> 00:12:28,657
Speaker 1: hold them out to the Lord, the loss, the confusion,

220
00:12:29,337 --> 00:12:32,137
Speaker 1: the overwhelmed, the beating ourselves up, the mom guilt, the

221
00:12:32,497 --> 00:12:35,457
Speaker 1: marriage trouble. Maybe you're a single mom and you're feeling

222
00:12:35,457 --> 00:12:39,817
Speaker 1: like you're going it alone. You are God ordained called
